The event was hosted by a group of students from 2w and 2i under the supervision of Ms M. Tojza. Our 1st grade students presented themselves in amusing shows dressed in funny costumes and participating in many exhausting games. The winner of the whole contest was grade 1c who will be the host of the next year’s Initiation Rites. Congratulations!
We all had a fabulous time watching the contest, warming ourselves in front of the bonfire and eating delicious grilled sausages!  

European Day of Languages

On 25th September for the second time teachers of English, German and Russian organized European Day of Languages in our school. Students from different years performed in sketches, sang songs and danced to show the culture and languages of European countries. There was a glance at Bavarian Oktoberfest, sports report from Kubica’s pit stop, Michael Jackson’s clip, a fragment of “Romeo and Juliet” and unforgettable “The Swan Lake” performed by our male students from year 3c. Apart from performances, students and teachers could learn about the culture of England, Germany and Russia by exploring realia on the stalls in front of the assembly hall. In addition, during the long break, our staff was treated with “European Breakfast” finished with a cake in the shape and colour of the European Flag.
