All About Our School
Every School has its own acronyms and unique names and we’re no exception:
What is the MPR room?
MPR stands for Multi-Purpose Room and is the space where we hold Share Time, assemblies and many other BIS functions and exhibitions. It’s located on the left side of campus as you enter the main gate, near the Pre-School and Grade1/2 areas.
What is Share Time?
Share time is similar to an assembly. It’s usually held every second Friday at 1:50 p.m. This event is hosted by individual classes on a rotating basis. Share Time is a celebratory exhibition of the children’s current school activities and achievements.
What is the Community Center?
The Community Center is a PTFA sponsored space to benefit the whole community. It is located just across from the South Car Park. PTFA meetings, Board meetings and many other school events are held there. The Bali Buddha café operates there from the crack of dawn every day. Stop by any morning; grab a coffee and a snack. It’s one of the best ways to quickly connect and make new friends. Plus there’s always a few old hands around ready to dispense advice and info.
Useful School Info
- Contact phone lists for BIS families are available in the school office.
- Lists of necessary school supplies and suggestions where to buy them are also available in the school office.
- Check the PTA noticeboard and newslette available in the BIS Community Center for upcoming events.
- Be sure to ask for a tour of the school when you enroll your child, this helps a lot when coming to your first Share Time!
- The best place to drop the kids is in front of the Community Center. This entrance is accessed from Jl. Pemamoran, the first left off the By-Pass after you pass the traffic lights where McDonald’s is (when traveling from the Kuta/Nusa Dua areas).
- Various necessary ID tags are obtained in the school office. If you haven’t made one yet, you’ll need a picture ID to get your visitor’s tag from the Securtiy Desk at the Main entrance. The ID policy applies to Driver’s and Helpers as well.
- Every class has at least one parent designated as the "CPC" who is responsible for contacting all the parents in their class in emergencies or when Pot Luck Dinner is on! Call the school office, ask your child’s teacher or check the PTA notice board to find out who’s your CPC.
- The school library (just to the left of the main entrance) has computers connected to a high-speed internet cable that parents may use from 8:00a.m. -9:00a.m. Monday thru Friday.
