Learning during holidays, why not?

During the last holiday, CLC SMK ROTA Bayat promoted fun learning on holidays to ensure that the visitors kept coming to the library. In cooperation with Student Enhancements and Community Development programs, the team promoted CLC to wider community outside the school.

For internal development, Bayat CLC launched reading journal starting with all volunteers. They were obliged to read at least three books from the library and wrote reports about them in their BIG BOOK. The idea was to promote reading and writing to students starting from the volunteers. The big book is their portfolio in which they stored tracks of all the books they have read. The books are to be submitted to their coordinator. The plan was to choose one of the writings to be discussed in their book meeting.

For wider community, the volunteers presented movie festival taking Indonesian women as the issue for this year. In cooperation with Kaynala Foundation, the volunteers featured Indonesian women documentary movies by screening conspiracy of silence, working girls and few other movies that featured Indonesian social issues.

Each movie screening was followed by discussion led by Titianers in order to better understand the message behind the movie. The viewers were students of SMK, scholarship students and also youth/villagers around the school. One of the viewers, Ika from SMK ROTA admitted that the movie was such an eye opener for her; she became more grateful to what she is now that despite of her financial background, she can still enjoy education and does not have to go to work. She is one of a scholarship student. Most visitors agreed that they learned something meaningful this holiday that they do not really understand when it was mentioned in the class.
