From 7 to 14 March 2019, twelve students of our school took part in a French-German-Polish exchange project at Noyant la Gravoyère. The extra-curricular exchange was prepared by the Bourg Chevreau High School in Segré en Anjou Bleu, France. The participants took part in language animations, dance and art workshops, classes at the European Centre in Angers, they also visited the cities of Angers and the charming Segré. They could also talk to migrants and children of migrants from Poland, Colombia, Italy and Romania. The exchange project was financed by the French-German Youth Office. The youth was accompanied by Jolanta Kaczkowska and Ruta Seidel.

On March 14th, in accordance with world tradition, the “Number π Day” was celebrated in our high school. The school corridor was decorated with a partial representation of the infinite development of this intangible number and with the posters awarded in the competition. The authors of these works were:

Agnieszka Wasiak and Natalia Nowak from class 1e1 and Ewa Okoń, Karol Sorek and Mikołaj Zabroń from class 1e2.

The event that started the celebrations was a lecture by a guest, Dr. Ryszard Janta, who talked about the problem of infinite collections. In this way he introduced the notions of set theory, which concern higher mathematics.

Other mathematical and physical curiosities were presented by students who presented mini-lectures in the form of multimedia presentations. The following spoke: Adam Mężydło (1e1), Izabella Rosikoń (1e1), Aleksandra Biolik (2d2), Wiktoria Kot (2d2), Julia Bartosiewicz (2e1), Paulina Mańkowska (2e1), Hanna Jarlaczyńska (2e1), Emilia Matrycka (1d1), Weronika Długaj (3d1).

The most emotional was the competition for first grade representatives prepared by 2e2 students. Four-person teams struggled not only with mathematical problems, but also with general knowledge, including topics related to school life. The winner was the 1e2 class representation in the composition: Natalia Moćko, Dawid Dulian, Nikodem Wspaniały and Piotr Namyślak.

There was also a student who knew the most numbers from the development of the number π. He turned out to be Nikodem Wspaniały, who remembers as many as 274 digits! Such a result is certainly difficult to beat, but thinking about next year’s competition, you can start learning a series of digits today.

Before winter holidays, the Youth Council organized the school’s Valentine’s Day. There were letters for teachers and students, as well as music dedications. The Valentine’s postmen made sure that the letters reached everyone.

Today, our girls in a very effective way advanced to the finals of the extramural volleyball tournament. Our team defeated a team from III High School and a team from ZS No. 2. Our volleyball players won with scores 25:10 and 25:12. Congratulations!

Today, on 6 February, we took part in the gala of the Silesian Ranking of Secondary and Technical Schools Perspektywy 2019 organized by the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice. At the ceremony in the Education and Congress Center in Gliwice, there were not only the hosts of the ceremony, but also representatives of the Perspektywy Education Foundation, Local Education Authorities in Katowice, presidents and mayors of many Silesian cities, and distinguished principals along with the youth.

On Thursday, 31 January, 24 students from the European School Club with teachers Mrs Agnieszka Drong and Mrs Agnieszka Gemborys took part in Euroscola in Strasbourg which is a simulated youth session of the European Parliament. The excursion to the European Parliament and participation in that incredible event were a prize in the EU knowledge competition organized by the European Parliament Information Office. Throughout the day, the Youth was debating at “plenary meetings” and participating in meetings of “parliamentary committees,” getting to know other young people from schools across Europe and essentially getting to know the rules of functioning and operating of the European Parliament.

On the way to Strasbourg and during the return journey, we also had the opportunity to visit beautiful places like Vienna, Munich, Heidelberg and Nuremberg.  It was a very fruitful and unforgettable experience.

Thanks to Aneta Machnio (IIe2) who took part in the municipal project ‘Youth Participation Budget’ our school was awarded a grant to install on its premises a drinking fountain.

We hope that drinking fountain and its beautiful vertical garden will become a symbol of healthy lifestyle, which is promoted in our school through many pro-health activities.
