Reflection

Stefany Emily Limanto Grade 8A

I’ve been studying in SHB since I was 4 years. The facilities in SHB are really good. They prepare pretty much everything we need for school. They have nice classes, a library, a canteen, a basketball court, a gym, a volleyball court and an auditorium too. SHB is also quite clean. The class is really nice and tidy. In the class, they even prepare a projector.

The teachers in SHB are all really nice. They are patient, and always make sure all of the students understand the lesson. They are really friendly, but strict at some things. They are really strict about the things we can’t do, like bullying, or not keeping our cellphones in the locker, where it should be, and other things. I personally think that’s something good because students should not do what they are not supposed to do.

In SHB, most of the students have really good friendship. We get along really well with pretty much everybody. In SHB, every student has different religions, but since we were taught to be friends with everyone, we make friends with people with different religions too. There aren’t any racism between students and we respect all religion. I even have a best friend and her religion is different from mine, it doesn’t really matter.

SHB often have fun activities on special occasions, like Independence day and Christmas, where we play games and have competitions. They even prepare prizes for the winners. SHB also holds really fun programs like Youth Camp, Leadership Camp and Edutrips. It’s something students, including me, really like because we get to spend several nights with friends, without parents and experience new things.

Overall, I feel like SHB is great, but I think that SHB should find different games for competitions because I feel like the games are always very similar. It’s still fun, but it would be better to think of new games. This year, recess is 25 minutes and lunch is 20 minutes. One of the teachers said that they made the recess longer because most students don’t eat during lunch. But there are some students who eat lunch and 20 minutes is too short. In addition to that, it takes time for us to tidy our things before going downstairs and it also takes time for us to go down to the canteen. Some of us also have to buy our food before we eat, and that takes time. That’s why I think SHB should make their lunch time a little longer. I really like how we have levels in Mandarin and English class, but the students should be put in the proper level that matches their skills, especially in English class. This year, my level has a lot of new students, but I can see that some of them can’t keep up really well. So I think SHB should be more thoughtful on placing the students in the right level next time. But other than that, SHB is awesome.
