VAN LITH HIGH SCHOOL

 VAN LITH SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Pangudi Luhur Foundation Best School

Hello guys, welcome to Smart English Education Blog.

Have you ever visited Java?

If you have visited Java, there are many various beautiful places you can visit. You can visit Borobudur temple, it is located in Magelang, Central Java. You will find Prambanan and Mendut temple because they are not far from Borobudur temple. Other beautiful tourism objects you can visit around are Kyai Langgeng Garden, Kaliurang waterfall, Gembiroloka zoo, Malioboro and many others. 

Okay guys, 

Have you ever known that there is a reputable senior high school in Muntilan? As we all know that there is a school in Muntilan and it's very favorite, well known all over Indonesia. 

Van Lith Senior High School was founded by the Dutch missioner in 1904, he was Fransiscus Gregorius Van Lith, SJ. He was born in Oirachot, Netherland, May 17, 1863. He came to Indonesia in 1896, After few years operation, this school was delegated to FIC brothers in 1952. Along the years, this school grows up to be qualified and reputable school in Java, and there are many students come from many cities in Indonesia, from the West to the East.

In this case I want to inform you something from this school due to the visitation from Javanese Governor, he is Mr. Ganjar Pranowo. Why did the Governor come to this school? 

At first I want to inform you first Mr. Ganjar Pranowo came to the school on November 16, 2022. At this special event, Van Lith Senior High School takes a topic "BERAGAMA DALAM NALAR PUBLIK". According to the statement above, we also say it as "A Public Visions of A Religion". It talks about how to give tolerance to other beliefs and how we give a flexibility for those who want to pray based on their religions.  The event was very special because the school also invited religious leader, The Police, and also Indonesian Army. At this moment, suddenly, Mr. Ganjar Pranowo asked two students from the school, they were "Stefanie Bella" from Ketapang, West Borneo. At first, Mr. Ganjar Pranowo asked her, "Who is Ketapang Regent?" She didn't answer the question but she asked special questions which were very touched Mr. Ganjar Pranowo and all audiences.  What were the questions?

First, Tolerance for the prayers is very important but it doesn't happen correctly. What do you think, Sir?" Then Mr. Ganjar said while smiling, "It's not good, of course". Then Bella asked more, "Does our government courage to crack down this intolerance? Mr. ganjar said again, "Of course yes" he smiled at her. To make sure his response, he face towards audiences then he said to the police and army, they said, "Yes we are also courage." 

Then, Bella asked one question more. The question was "How does the government to overcome intolerance problems, like building church which are almost difficult everywhere?" Once, Mr. Ganjar said, "I always say Yes", what else? (Stopping question)

The next turn, Ziva actually would ask something to Mr. Ganjar but Mr. Ganjar asked him some questions before. The question, "Where do you come from?, Where do you live in? What is your father and mother's profession? He comes from Surabaya, he lives in Tangerang and his parents' profession are a company staff and a house wife. 

It is Ziva's question:

"Mr. Ganjar, according to your opinion, do you think religion choice is a private responsibility or somebody else or public matter?" Directly Mr. Ganjar said, "Private matter". The event was really interesting and wonderful so that many audience felt happy because Mr. Ganjar always make a joke in his dialogue. Finally, at the end of this dialogue, both the two students got new handphones in this dialogue section. Does anybody know the girl? Bella was alumnus of Saint Albert school in Ketapang, her younger sister is still at Saint Albert School of the third grade at present. 

Okay guys, I think that's all for now, thanks for participation in reading this text in Smart English Education, I hope you are always in good condition and God's protection forever. Finally see you on the next interesting topic one day.

If we don't have a library card we can't borrow the books from the library, so every student of a school must have a library card to make sure a librarian let us borrow the books from a library.

Every school library has rules for students to obey, for instants period time of borrowing books one week only, if they borrow them more than one week they will get penalty. As students they can borrow the three books only at once. There are also various books which students can borrow from the library, like; lesson books, story books, comics, cartoon story and many others. 

Here I serve you an example of the library rules at Elang Nusantara Junior High School. Focus to the text below so that you understand and realize all rules used to manage working system so that it can work well.

Okay guys,

I think it's enough for learning the library card, its rules, and also its penalty as we attach the example of Library Card of Elang Nusantara Junior High School.
