Visit of the Holocaust Museum

Students of Year IV have recently visited the Holocaust Museum in Sereď. They have learned more about life in a concentration camp under the guidance of an experienced historian.

The students had the opportunity to see the conditions and environment of the camp, the buildings where Jews lived, worked and awaited their fate. This excursion provided them with a lot of new knowledge about the Holocaust on our territory.

Let us not forget our history. Let us hope that society has learned from these terrible crimes against humanity, which trampled on basic human rights such as the right to life, liberty and security, and that they will never happen again.

DAY OF OPPORTUNITIES

The Day of Opportunities was held at BESST High School last week. A number of guests visited the school with a variety of presentations to introduce the students to the reality of their daily work. The students could learn about the work of an interior designer, an owner of an auditing firm, a renewable energy expert, a finance expert, a Cambridge study consultant, and a manager of lithium battery development for electric cars. As a tradition, this event has been taking place for several years now and we are already looking forward to inspirational talks next year!

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARDS

On the first day of October, there was Duke of Edinburgh Awards taking place at the University of Komensky, Faculty of Pedagogical studies in Bratislava with a remarkable representation of students from our school. After a year of working on their goals and completing the adventurous expeditions, sixteen bronze participants and two silver participants went there to celebrate their hard work. Together with the other participants from Trnava and Banska Bystrica region, they stepped proudly on the podium, received the DofE certificates and pins and enjoyed a well-deserved round applause. We are looking forward to going to the awards next year again with even larger numbers.

TEAM BUILDING

At the beginning of September, our new students spent the last days of summer and got to know each other. Thanks to team-building activities, hiking in the beautiful surroundings of Považské Inovec, a visit to the Tematín Castle, and wellness in Banka, Piešťany, they got to know each other better. They started their five-year study journey at BESST.

BESSTED 2024

We are so proud of our students who performed at this year’s BESSTed event!

It was a demonstration of their talent and innovation. Our young speakers left listeners in awe with their ideas and inspirational stories.

Each student brought a unique perspective and tackled topics from technology and science to personal growth and social issues. Their determination to create and deliver such compelling speeches was evident in every word they said. It was truly a pleasure watching our young people shine!

OPEN HOUSE

The corridors of our highschool filled with curious minds looking for their next adventure in education. We had a wonderful morning meeting our prospective peers. This years theme was Valentines day and love was definitely in the air!

#loveyourbesstlife

Our students delivered joy

Yesterday was a great day. High school students dressed as the St. Nicholas, angel and devil. They brought happiness and smiles to all classes. in primary school. They also visited the smallest children in the kindergarten.

Gifts given with the heart are always the most beautiful!  #withheart

Day of Opportunity

The world is full of opportunities. And today, some of these wonderful opportunities came to our high school. We explored future employment, career and university options. With the power of knowledge, we can make the right decisions for our next steps!

European Night of Researchers

Science pushes the boundaries of our knowledge. This year, our students participated in the European night of researchers in Bratislava, where they not only attended various lectures by renowned professors and doctors, but also won various material prizes and made badges for themselves, or took home plant seeds with high-quality soil. The graduates focused on getting contacts from scientists with whom they can collaborate on finalising their projects for school competitions or for their university studies. Fourth-graders visited the stands of universities with a practical demonstration of their work. The advantage of this year is also the connection with the white night, in which they also participated. The students praised this event very much and are already looking forward to next year's researchers' night.

Trip to Italy

Our trip to Italy was wonderful. We explored the awesome city of Naples, visited the stunning island on Capri by boat and are the best pizza in the world!The Amalfi coast is so picturesque -the scenery even dreams could not imagine. Goodbye for now Italy, We hope to be back soon!

Finally, the first day back at highschool!

We are so happy to be reunited ! Looking forward to building new memories!

school trips IV.A, IV.M

At the end of June we tasted different flavours of Prague appreciating it from the Veltava, Petřín, and we also tried to unveil its history.

CEREMONY TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR 2022/2023

The final chapter of this school year has been written, closing one door and opening countless others. May the adventures, discoveries, and happiness of summer be vibrant with joy. Enjoy the break, recharge, and get ready for the amazing things that await us in the next school year.

the traditional volleyball tournament

SBG BESST is got sporty again. This year, the traditional volleyball tournament was even bigger, with 7 teams signing up for the challenge. But there could only be one winner. Although each of the participants received a diploma for their participation, only one team took home valuable trophies.  The teams were superb so every mistake costed. The first place was won by the teachers after the difficult matches, the second place and silver medals were won by 'the 6 fears' and the third place and bronze medals were won by 'Los Cwokos'. In addition to the tournaments, the older years also came to see us, which makes us very happy and we will definitely like to see them next year as well. We believe that every year we will have more participation both in the teams and in the audience. What more is there to say, see you at BESST CUP 24 .

BESSTED 2023

The long-awaited day had finally arrived, and as we inflated balloons we too were filled with a breathless mixture of nerves, excitement, and eager anticipation. As the start time approached, a strong sense of camaraderie enveloped us all. Teachers and students came together, offering words of encouragement and support. Doing whatever needed to be done. It was a clear and shining example of how, when we unite under the banner of BESST, we are truly #bettertogether.

school trips III.A

The end of the year brought us days full of sunny optimism about the upcoming holidays. Filled with the smell of a successful school year almost completely behind us, we set out on a quest for adventure, experiences and adrenaline. Together, powerful, cheerful – these moments will forever remain in our memories. Vienna, Bratislava, Piešťany – we were happy to be with you! J

Special thanks to Ms. Dianka, who accompanied us with her typically charming presence.

the charity day

Today was all about values. Classes II.B and III.A went to the Charity Day. We have seen all the activities that charity in Trnava does and we attended a workshop held by two volunteers from ukrainian Donetsk. Workshop was about how to deal with stress and how is the work with people affected by the war in Ukraine. Their stories and determination were breathtaking. Nevertheless they did not loose their will to smile and we spent a lovely time together.  

dofe vol.2

in the penultimate school week, it was time to end this year's bronze dofe program. After the training expedition, our two teams adjusted their routes based on previous experiences. Our hiking was enriched by a night storm that drove us from our original lodging to the terrace of the former guesthouse. In the end, we reached the bottom of our forces again and fought even. With many experiences, we can continue the program at other levels.
