Don't forget our whole school meeting tomorrow at Bamboo cafe, kicking off at 9.00am. Next week on Tuesday January 25 the parent board will meet in the same place at a slightly earlier time of 8.45am – come join!

Parents asked us to share theirs and everyone's contacts to help put playdates together. If you're uncomfortable about sharing your personal contacts, just email or drop by the office by January 30 to opt out.

School will be closed on February 3 and 4, and March 4 and 18. Term ends on April 21 in time for the Easter break.

As well as repairs and renovations throughout both campuses, a new classroom has been constructed on the big school campus to accommodate the growing classes 2 and 3. The TKB classroom has also been renovated during the holidays and also enlarged whilst the warung has been re-roofed.

We're encouraging all parents, pembantus and drivers to use the back road to the school (from Lodtunduh) rather than the steep road closest to Ubud to arrive to the school. The building project has recently put black gravel on the road which is very slippery. We're trying to address this with the head of the village and the project manager.

Quiz night organised by parents was a great success, raising Rp 3 million for the school. Let's go further – email us with ideas for fundraisers!

The school's Bamboo Cafe is serving up homemade juices and bites each day – now healthier and organic! Snack prices are back down to Rp 5,000 in response to feedback from parents.

Join the parent board to get more involved or to have more input into anything from the buildings to the curriculum, to the food served in the warung. Come along to one of our meetings or contact us at our new email address parents@

Please do use the boards by the warung and the office to promote any child-related activities or businesses.
