EUROPEAN CODE WEEK

Our high school students participated in European Code Week, organizing a day of activities within a broader project of integration between disciplines STEAM and Coding.

Classes of the years 1, 2, 3 challenged each other in coding activities created by mathematics, biology, chemistry and computer science teachers. The activities consisted for example, in the use of binary code transmitted as sounds were played with the hands, or recognition of animals particles from traces of genetic code, or inventing algorithms of mathematical functions, for encrypted messages using the periodic table.

The activities were also coordinated by a small group of students belonging to a "Coding Team", having weekly Informatics extra lessons. They learned in a few weeks to build and manage a mobile/desktop responsive website, which they updated during the day; the uloading the results of the activities and adding photos to the site's gallery https://codingday.besstbesst.repl.co/gallery.html

We also have a special prize for the winning class.

Halloween

On Friday we took a break from our school duties and enjoyed the earlier Halloween due to the upcoming break. We celebrated the spooky occasion by pumpkin carving, a scary quiz and sharing pizza.

Even though we couldn’t have our usual sleepover at school, it was still fun and more importantly, we got to spend time with our classmates.

STUDYING ABROAD ATTRACTS US

Graduates continue to search for their future "alma mater", where they will be able to apply the knowledge that has been passed on to them at our high school.

As part of her university career choice making, Ms. Mag. Jagodinka Petrikic-Zlatkov with university students introduced us to the possibilities of studying at the Fachhochschule Wiener Neustadt.

The pupils were most interested in the possibility of studying in a modern international environment with an orientation towards practical experience gained through active cooperation with various companies, support for start-ups and a mandatory internship, which was praised by the university students themselves.

We believe that our graduates will make the right decision and maybe today's visit will only be the start of their future career.

We wish you success.

WE ARE THINKING ABOUT OUR NEXT STEPS AFTER GRADUATION

Thanks to bilingual education and fluent speaking of other languages, our students have many opportunities to study abroad.

Speaking about studying possibilities of students after highschool, Mr. Petr Jiskra came to our school and introduced to our graduates his alma mater "Business & Hotel Management School" in Switzerland.

Our students were interested in studying at this international school, especially in the way of teaching in blocks and cooperation with companies that provide students with the possibility of a paid internship after half a year of study.

We believe that everyone's dream of future studies will come true.

The Merry Wives of Windsor

After a long time, we finally had the opportunity to visit the theater.

We enjoyed a performance of William Shakespeare's comedy "The Merry Wives of Windsor". After reading and analyzing his "Hamlet", we expanded our knowledge of his work.

We really enjoyed it and the actors were excellent.

FEMALE LEADERSHIP INNOVATION CAMP

Our students Nina R., Karolína J., Sofia K., Bianka V. from class IIIA took part in the nationwide competition the “Female Leadership Innovation Camp”.

Their task was to design a feasible, effective and long-term sustainable solution to support girls and women in active professional and career growth, personal development and active use of opportunities.

The proposals were assessed by an expert jury and our BESST “four” proved their skills and presented great ideas, which we hope will be further employed.

EUROPEAN LANGUAGE DAY

Yesterday was dedicated to European Language Day, a day that celebrates all the languages that make up the European union. Our Year 1-3 students joined in with activities from Spanish, Italian, German and Slovak language and it finished off with students taking part in the international contest to create the t-shirt for next years events.

The winner will be announced on December 31st 2021 so keep your fingers crossed!

Who achieved the highest profit?

In the introductory lesson of the subject Applied Economics, we focused on the creative production of toys so that students are familiarized with the basic economic understanding, such as the calculation of production costs, total revenue, and profit, which is a reward for the entrepreneur.

The task of the students was to create a prototype of a toy based on inputs they received and to obtain as many orders for it as possible.

Congratulations to the winner, a group with the highest achieved profit, Príšerka s.r.o.. We wish them good luck in obtaining further orders.

ACTIVITY PACKED ADAPTATION WEEK WAS AMAZING

Last week our students of Year 1-3 accepted the challenges of adaptation week and spent a few days together outside, in the beautiful surroundings of Trnava.

More so, as a part of city challenge, they helped with cleaning of the "Kamenný mlyn" and separation of collected waste. ♻️ Students of Year 3 helped them with these activities as a part of Human and Health protection course. 👍

End of the school year 2020/2021

The gates of our school are about to close again. This time it won´t be because of the pandemic, but because of the so much deserved moment when books and duties are replaced by a 2-month relax.
