Chronicle – school year – 2018/2019 – September and October

We won CERN !!!

On September 9, math and physics classes set off for a trip to Switzerland. After eighteen hours of driving, we arrived at the Rheinfall, a beautiful Swiss woodspad on the river Rhine. We rested a few moments and drove all the way to the French border to our hotel.

The next day we had the opportunity to visit CERN, one of the most important research and development centers in the world. We learned a lot about the work at the institute, nuclear research and accelerators, especially the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest accelerator.
During these few days we also visited two Swiss cities: Nyon and Geneva, both beautifully situated by Lake Geneva with a view of the mountains. We also saw the so-called French Venice: Annecy.
On the way back to Poland, we stopped at Technorama, the larger equivalent of the Copernicus Science Center. We could learn something about the laws of physics through play, and also make experiments with e.g. liquid nitrogen.
Despite many hours on the bus and tiredness, it was worth going and seeing such charming places, getting to know a piece of a new country, but also learning something.

Ola about the award in the ZNAK W SCHKOLE project – a summer internship in the editorial office of the Znak monthly

In the recent period of time, I had the great pleasure to fill my holiday frolics with a week-long experience in the editorial office of the monthly “Znak” (how did it happen? What did you eat with?). The very beginning of an inspiring journey through the history of this publishing house allowed me to decipher the meaning of the name itself. I will not divide it here, but which previously seemed to me very mysterious and ambiguous. I encourage you to get to know it.

Suggestion: Headline: short but succinct. The smell of permanent work and office coffee, enriched with an extremely open and cordial team of the Miesięcznik, for which the editorial office is almost a lifestyle, long disputes on the border of philosophy, religion, art and natural sciences, awakened my faith in the bright future of individuals who are uncertain and undecided about their path career I belong to. The mere specter of performing the function of a kind of Socrates, cooking delicious and sophisticated dishes for the thirsty for knowledge and answers to the people’s bothering questions, can put a humanist in admiration, especially a frightened intern. By looking under the lining of creating the monthly, seeing its prime factors, knowing exactly the type, weight and color of the paper, one is able to see a huge and very satisfying picture of the work of many creative and world-curious people who want to expand new and new horizons both for themselves and their readers. .

If among those interested there are those who really want to deepen (dismantle, crush, roll, mix …) the controversial content, or shape the controversy around these seemingly obvious, if one of you deigns doubt in your life, or wants to enter the world of the current culture directly, drawing on knowledge about its foundations and caprices from the best sources, I strongly encourage you to participate in the meetings of the “ZNAKU at school” and apply for those few hours of work that may stimulate passion and hope, or simply guarantee a ruler in the CV that requires improvement.

Volunteers of High School No. 6 for Hospice of St. Lazarus

On September 28, 2018, 19 students of Secondary School No. 6 took part in the Daffodil Fair, organized as part of cyclical campaigns for the benefit of those in need from the St. Lazarus in Krakow. We invested in the Main Square in Krakow. The event ended with a symbolic March of Hope on ul. Franciszkańska 3.

Spanish language lovers visiting Andalusia

Andalusia is a region of Spain known for flamenco, good food, siesta and sun. The Mediterranean climate is conducive to studying in a relaxed rhythm, without unnecessary stress, rush and breaks, contemplating art and the local nature. The Spanish language school, which was attended by a group of twenty students of VILO, is called “La playa” and, as the name suggests,
located right on the beach. Each student, as soon as they get tired of studying, looking up from the book, will encounter the soothing blue of the Mediterranean Sea. The promise of spending an afternoon at the beach will seem tempting, and at the same time it will encourage you to complete the ser and estar exercises, which will suddenly stop being so scary.

The food, prepared especially for us in a nearby chiringuito, tastes delicious, although not everyone loves jamón serrano or vegetable salad. The waiter serves us with great attention, and the chef checks whether everything suits us. Always smiling and polite, they wait for us with lunch and dinner at a long table set especially for us, at which we feast, just like real Spaniards. An additional attraction during meals is that
that everyone can test their skills by ordering dishes and drinks in Spanish.

We not only learn, eat and rest, but also visit. Malaga is a port city with huge ships that we admire every day. The Betitz Mountains on one side, the Mediterranean Sea on the other, and the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle rise above the city. We contemplate a landscape bathed in sunlight. At the foot of the castle we find the ruins of the Roman Theater. We walk the streets discovering squares, churches and museums. One thing was of particular interest to us.
It was in this city that the famous painter Pablo Picasso was born. We watch his works collected
in a beautiful typical Andalusian house with a patio. We also enter a huge cathedral where a choir concert is currently taking place. Delighted with what we hear and see, we stay there for a long time. After the spiritual digestion, it’s time for a meal. We eat dinner in a typical tapas bar.

The highlight of the program is a visit to Granada and a visit to the famous Alhambra, a stronghold of the Moorish caliphs. This extraordinary building and its history captivate us. We breathe the atmosphere of this enchanted place and take thousands of photos.

We also visit the town of Rincón de la Victoria, where the Cueva del Tesoro Cave of Treasures is located. It is the only known cave in Europe (and one of three in the world) that was entirely created under water. We get there on foot, along the seaside promenade in full sun.

At the end of the course, we receive diplomas confirming the improvement of the Spanish language. Our Spanish teachers send kind words to us and give us lots of compliments regarding our commitment in the lessons, interest in the topics covered and the rapid pace of learning. It remains to believe that we will also be appreciated after our return

The trip took place on September 29 – October 6, 2018 and will stay for a long time

75th anniversary of the execution at the Old Synagogue

For five years, our school has been taking care of the memorial site at Szeroka Street in Krakow. The modest monument is to the left of the entrance to the Old Synagogue. It commemorates the crime of World War II: on October 28, 1943, the German occupiers shot here 30 Poles transported from the prison at ul. Montelupich. It was revenge for killing, on the verdict of the Polish underground, two officials – Germans and a Gestapo informant. So far, only nineteen of those shot have been identified.

On the eve of the 75th anniversary of this tragic event, the community of our Lyceum commemorated the victims. The ceremony was honored by the presence of representatives of the Old Town District Council with its chairman, Mr. Tomasz Daros, and councilors, Mrs. Anna Bałdyga and Mr. Jacek Balcewicz. The prayer for the dead was led by the parish priest of the Corpus Christi parish, Fr. Przemysław Soboń.
