Ski trip
On 28th January we went for a ski trip in skiing centre Gerlitzen in Austrian Alps. We enjoyed wonderful skiing on perfectly maintained hills, we improved our abilities and made friendship bonds. After a difficult day full of skiing we relaxed to the fullest extend in the hotel wellness centre every day. We also enjoyed much fun while playing games and doing various activities. At the end of the ski trip we enjoyed beautiful scenery of Alps. Whole trip was going on without problems thanks to exemplary behaviour of our students. We cannot wait for our next ski trip!

Open Day at SBG BESST
SBG BESST opened our doors to the public today with visitors wanting to o put themselves in our shoes for the day. Classroom doors were opened and fully accessible throughout High school as students and parents alike took steps towards a new future.
In addition, our students prepared a programme designed to give real insight into life in our school community. Guests learnd about being a Start-up in year one, the activities that take place throughout the year such as BESSTed, Halloween and Jarmok and our student council. Our students also showcased some of their work from Czechoslovak week in which we commemorated the separation of two nations.
All in all it was a pleasure to see our high schoolers share their experiences and their hard work since September. Our visitors engaged in the day and maybe their next steps will be to our High school in September 2019.

Duke of Edinburgh Expedition: 23.6. - 25.6.
On Saturday afternoon, in order to control the quality of the tourist paths, we set out from the Jalšová village on our three-day tour around Považský Inovec. After two hours, we found ourselves on Ovčia Skala, a place where we planned to spend the first night. But we decided to go even further, so we continued. We reached the meadow, overlooking the village of Svrbince. We placed our tents there and heated ourselves in the fire in the evening.
The next day was the longest and most difficult. On our way, we have seen more ticks, hungry and tricky little creatures, than people. We only met few people, mainly runners or cyclists, we met "traditional tourists" only at Marhate (748 m). The sidewalks to Marhate are relatively well-marked and often cross the bikers' paths, which are mostly wide and solid.
After exhausting thirty kilometers we decided to spend the second and last night under Skalka (377 m). Once again, we found a nice meadow, where we spent a peaceful evening, if we are not taking into consideration the two hunters who came across. The next morning we climbed Skalka, after which we headed downhill to Hlbina, where we had our transfer arranged.
Official end of School Year 2017/2018
On Friday, 29th June 2018 we officially ended School Year 2017/2018. We wish all our students and colleagues pleasant summer holidays.
We look forward to seeing you in September.

The Crystal Challenge
Eco Day - Animals Rights and Cosmetic Industry
This year’s Eco Day was about animal cruelty and cosmetics industry. We studied the legislative of various countries where the testing is still an ongoing issue. We divided cosmetic brands into two categories and offered few vegan alternatives. We made our own peeling, lip balm, toothpaste and mouthwash. We also learnt how to compost unwanted paper packs. Even small changes can have a big impact.
Ms. Nataly
Are you interested in what type of cosmetics do you use?
Are you willing to try Eco-cosmetics?
Do you know that products you are using are tested on animals?
