This year, Bali Island School (BIS) actively supported the Maybank Marathon Bali 2024 and led a 90-minute interactive session during the sustainability event at the Bali United Training Centre on 24th August 2024. This initiative emphasised BIS’s dedication to world-class education and the importance of fostering global awareness among youth.
As part of the event, Bali Island School proudly showcased 18 secondary students as Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Heroes, allowing them to share their knowledge about global issues with 50 Gianyar students from grades 4 to 6 of local primary schools. This initiative provided all the young learners with a valuable platform for exchanging knowledge and understanding how they can actively contribute to sustainability in their daily lives.
Furthermore, to promote SDG #4 – Quality Education, Bali Island School donated around 125 books to representatives from each of the 25 state schools across Gianyar. This initiative highlights Bali Island School’s commitment to a world-class education that begins at home and is enhanced through knowledge sharing and community engagement.
“Being involved in this event has had a major impact on all the students. They had the opportunity to develop leadership skills and use their knowledge to benefit the local community. It was a great day of connection, inspiration, and change-making that empowered all students to take action,” said Ms. Brianna Roberts, the Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) Coordinator at BIS.
