Kelompok Ilmiah Remaja Overview
Kelompok Ilmiah Remaja (KIR) is an
organization under Organisasi Siswa Intra Sekolah (OSIS) set up in 2nd
October 1999 as an independent extracurricular activity. Titis Nur

KIR orients its activities on science
understanding and practicing among the students, which are more
practical.
