Eko day

The goal was to draw attention to ocean pollution. Quiet underwater world and sea turtles. People realize that the situation is alarming, there are more and more injured turtles. They are often injured due to water pollution, for example by swallowing garbage or a piece of plastic bag. That's why we and students of SBG Besst, Ms Hayley and natives, in cooperation with Ms Adel and the Speech and Art Therapy Center, decided to conceive EkoDay creatively using plastic waste materials and create a large turtle and turn the staircase into an ocean full of underwater life. 

BESSTed

BESSTed was an opportunity. Not just for the students who tested their presentation skills in front of an audience and discussed a variety of topics about the future. But also for parents and teachers - to see their children and students in the role of speakers. Thank you for your participation and support. We hopt ot see you next year!

ALLEY OF THE GRADUATES

This is how we planted the first linden tree in our alley.

Phillyra (the Greek name of the linden tree) was a nymph that the gods turned into a tree, after she asked them not to be sent to humans.

We hope that the tree will thrive as well as our graduates, because it was planted with love and great determination of our students from year 5. We hope that one day as adults they will come back to pick dried flowers to make a good linden tea.

ART DAY

On Friday, April 29, 2022,student union, led by Ms Adel collaborated artistically through encaustic and glass painting. This type of artistic creation helps maintain inner balance and focuses on the development of creative and emotional development and interpersonal relationships. Each class of years I. - III. painted their class painting on large glass. Also, each student created their own image with encaustics (melted wax art). By combining all the pictures, a breathtaking mosaic was created. Soon you will be able to see the works of our students in the SBG BEST.

WE CELEBRATED A MONTH OF BOOKS TOGETHER

March is the month of the books and our students decided to celebrate it with a short performance they prepared for kids in our kindergarten.

They rehearsed a fairy-tale theater about a miraculous mug for preschoolers, who recieved a small healthy gift at the end.

Such fun activities remind us how beautiful it is when older students spend time with the little ones.

WE FIGHT AGAINST FOOD WASTE

Did you know that 20-40% of the food produced globally, intended for human consumption is never eaten? Food waste is a global problem that needs to be discussed with the younger generation.

Therefore, we organized an online lecture for our high school students from IA and IB classes, where they learned interesting information and connections on the issue of food waste.

FINANCIAL OLYMPIAD

Our students measured their level of financial literacy.

As we support entrepreneurship and economic and financial knowledge at our school, Year 3-4 students participated in the first round of the Financial Olympiad. In addition to testing their financial literacy, they also gained new knowledge that will help them in the next rounds of the Olympiad.

We are keeping our fingers crossed for them and we look forward to their further success.

Training of managerial skills

Our pupils participated in the training of managerial skills for the management of a student company within the program Applied Economics

The training program focused on developing the foundations of management skills by AT&T lecturers.

DAY OF OPPORTUNITY

With so many choices available these days it pays to know your options. That's why we organised 'Day of Opportunity'. The day aims to give student real insight into potential career options so that they can make informed choices about their futures.

During this day, students attended lectures by experts from several fields, such as anthropology, higher level human resources and nuclear chemistry. Thus they got to learn first hand what it is like to work in a wide range of areas.

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
