FIRST LEGO League is the most accessible, guided global robotics competition, helping students and teachers to build a better future together. The teams are competing in four categories: the robot game, the technical interview, the project and core values. Our team, comprised from national (Nejc Tušek, and Miha Aleksander Folkson) and international (Maria Madeleine Svetlana Magnus, Eden Kismet Bahri and Eva Kastelic) department students, were successful at demonstrating all four components, on which they have been working hard for the past six months. As a result, they came in 16th position in the Adria region and received a SILVER AWARD.

Congratulations!

Mother’s Day 

by | Mar 24, 2023

Mother’s Day is a day set aside to express love, respect and thanks to mothers. The day is observed by giving gifts, visiting, or taking mothers out for dinner and celebrations. Mother’s Day around the world falls on different dates at various times of the year (usually in March or May). In Slovenia it is celebrated on 25 March. Many cultures have diverse ways to celebrate it. The moral of this day is that husbands and children must respect their wives and mothers in the family. President Woodrow Wilson announced the first Mother’s Day in the USA on 9 May 1914. He asked Americans to give a public “thank you” to their mothers and all mothers on that day. What will you do on Mother’s Day?

International Women’s Day

by | Mar 20, 2023


To commemorate International Women’s Day, the year 8 students had a lesson dedicated to the holiday. They created acrostic poems about women they admire, researched women leaders from around the world, imagined a day in the life of a girl from another place or time, amongst other things. International Women’s Day reminds us to be open-minded and caring, to live in a world in which everyone is equal.

6M – Visit to the Home for the Elderly

by | Mar 17, 2023

Some 6M students visited the Home for the Elderly in Bežigrad once more. The students again showed that they were excellent communicators, caring and real risk-takers. They prepared the delicious Kaiserschmarrn together with the residents of the home, which they also got to enjoy later on. Both the students and the hosts had fun and enjoyed each other’s company.
