Further Information Regarding the Return to School

Dear parents,

I would like to ask all parents of K1, K2 , grades 1,2,3, and 8 pupils to send us the confirmation forms notifying us whether their children will come to school on 18 /25 May, or whether, for various reasons, they cannot attend the programme in school. We will also need to know if your child needs to attend the Afternoon programme, so we can plan accordingly. We need the information today.

I will be able to send you more detailed information about the organisation and procedures when we have a confirmation of the number of pupils who will return to school.

Kind regards,

Irena Šteblaj

75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe Day

A minute after midnight on May 9, 1945, World War II officially ended in Europe. The worst time in human history began on September 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. The war then spread throughout Europe and, despite initial concerns, soon drew in France and Britain. Germany invaded Norway and Denmark in 1940, and France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands in May. In April 1941, the German army invaded the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Greece.

The liberation of Europe began with the Allied landings on D-Day in June 1944. As a result, the German army withdrew from all battlefields by 1945, and the ring around Germany became narrower and narrower, and the Battle of Berlin took place in April 1945.

The Victory Day in Ljubljana

“Greetings to the Yugoslav Army on the Liberated Slovene Land!” Wrote the writer Fran Saleški Finžgar on May 9, 1945 – on the occasion of the liberation of Ljubljana – in the issue of the Slovene Reporter.

A Journey Through Bela Krajina

These beautiful May days are an invitation to explore nature. This is why the MYP students went to Bela Krajina yesterday, not alone, but with the students of the Matija Gubec Primary School and the ninth-graders of the national department of our school. And how? On a Virtual journey, with the help of the internet! It was a new experience for us all, which proved to be a good one.
On their way, they observed nature, got to know new places, and everyone was impressed by the Lahinja Landscape Park. They met the green Jurij, Easter eggs and the many natural beauties of Bela Krajina, as well as the cultural heritage.
