International Projects - school year 2011-2012

• Jurnaliste sans frontieres (7-28 April 2012) – for 20 days, students from Romania, Poland and Italy carried out specific activities of the true journalists: documentary, editing, filming, editing and subtitling. These topics were framed within a complex subject: "Democracy and its crises”

We know that some extra activities besides learning are needed for all our students to contribute to their personal development. Because we do care, we have teams for almost all regional contests(both for girls and boys): basketball team, volleyball team, handball team, football team, table tennis team, chess team, kayak team, athletics team.

And because we can’t compete without some cheering, we have a squad of joyful cheerleaders (by the way, they’ve won “Best cheerleaders prize” in 2012, so they are pretty good at what they do).

“A friend in need is a friend indeed”. Because we know how important is to help whenever we have the chance, over 250 students from our high school are involved in such programs like ( FSC, CRE, Ingenious Drama Association, Red Cross Romania, Antidrog and so on).
