Students had the opportunity to participate in classes with Fashion Design students from the Academy of Economics and Humanities in Warsaw. The workshop was led by Ms. Dean Dr. Magdalena Plonka and Ms. Aleksandra Ratajczyk. During the workshop, students discussed the fascinating role of lesser-known wild pollinators, and then moved into the world of drawing, trying their hand at rendering them on paper. There was also a creative soap making workshop. The smell of these products was in the air all day!

The students also visited the studio of Ms. Kamila Malik, who told fascinating stories about the violin and even played some extremely beautiful pieces for us.

The students not only learned, but also had a great time – thanks to the Ladies of the Library they learned the secrets of Kamishibai Theater, and under the guidance of Mr. Paul they tried their hand at the climbing wall. In the evening, an exciting field game awaited the students. The day culminated with a shared meal and a movie screening in the theater room.

The principal of our high school, Emilia Nagucka, MA, also spoke:

Adulthood is a challenge. At this point you begin your journey to a different, I believe, richer and more authentic life – and to the completion of the education you began 11,000 hours ago. You will finish your education. But I hope you will continue to learn for a long time and in a variety of ways.
Let me repeat: Adulthood is a challenge. What kind of it you will build for yourself – depends only on you.

 

Bruno Szymanovich and Filip Bialkowski thanked the teachers and management on behalf of all the high school graduates. There was also a moment to reminisce in the form of a slide show of photos from the four years spent within the walls of our High School.

 

We congratulate all the High School Graduates on their achievements so far and wish them much success in the next stages.

In December, a special event took place at our school. Class IB DP1, with the support of high school students, organized a holiday charity fair, the proceeds of which will go to the accounts of two non-governmental organizations: the Foundation for Psychological Assistance and Social Education “Together”, which provides psychological help (including for the youngest) and the EB Poland Foundation, which works for patients with epidermolysis bullosa. We thank everyone who contributed to raising an impressive amount of 3124.42 PLN with their purchases!

We believe that the amount raised will be a real help for the non-governmental organizations.

Our school was visited by a special guest and a true authority – MSc Eng. Ryszard Witkowski. He is an experimental pilot, author and translator of several publications in the field of aviation, as well as a soldier of the Home Army, who has been awarded, among others, the Order of Polonia Restituta and the Righteous Among the Nations Medal.

On November 10th, we celebrated Independence Day at TE Vizja High School. During this day, students worked in groups, discussing the meaning of the concept of freedom and answering questions: What is freedom to us? What does it give us? Are we truly free? The discussion also inspired students to create posters on this topic. We thank the history teachers for preparing such interesting activities!

On October 29th, we celebrated Halloween at school. This colorful and joyful holiday inspired high school students to create a “haunted house” that was visited by our classmates from elementary school. There was a lot of fun, smiles, and plenty of sweet surprises. The decorations created both fear and admiration – just as Halloween should be! Once again, the high school students showed how creative, ambitious, and open to people they are.

We hope you all had a spooktacular time!
