PORG Gymnázium a Základní škola

It's September and you know what that means - lots of smiles and lots of noise in the corridors of school again!

This year, we welcome back most of our previous pupils and many new faces too. Although last year's older pupils have moved on to the next stage of their educations, we are still proud to have pupils from half of the World's populated continents in our classrooms this semester.

It is wonderful to see the newcomers being accepted and circles of friendships enlarging. Everyone has lots of questions about life in the countries they have come from and they in turn are eagerly learning about life here.

We have had a little time to get to know each other and find our way around and now we are ready for the serious business of making this the best year of school ever!

Friday 22 October.

A dark and creepy end to the week awaits all who enter the haunted school on this day!

Do you dare to go down into the underworld which lies beneath the classrooms? Do you have the courage to confront the ghostly teachers and ghoulish activities?

If your heart is strong and brave enough to overcome the terror, you may walk away with some prizes to start your autumn holidays with!

PORG Ostrava is 10 years old!

To celebrate a decade of fine international education, as well as the sunny weather, we went outside for some fun and games.

There were a wide range of sports activities based around the themes of PORG and 10 to burn off some energy. Quite possibly, none of these sports will ever become Olympic but they deserve praise for their inventiveness!

Using nothing but recycled plastic and paper, our heroic athletes ran, jumped, dodged, fell, picked themselves up again and fought to a nail-biting finish. 

They displayed high standards of sportsmanship throughout and there was some suggestion of making it a regular activity, although for mathematical reasons it is sadly impossible.

Well done to the athletes and their talents, and also the teachers and their resourcefulness!
