Blood donation: a gift of life


An important action on the voluntary blood donation took place in our. Nursing staff from the city's University Hospital informed our students about the conditions and, mainly, the benefits of this initiative for both the recipient of the precious blood and the one who offers it. Serving in this way the Goals 3: Good Health and Well-Being, 4: Quality Education and 17: Partnerships for the Goals, we realized that we can all benefit spending only 10 minutes of our time.

Clean Beach Day



As part of our Erasmus + project “Agenda 2030: that’s our challenge!”, grade 10th students have cleaned-up a beach near Alaquàs and then they have played sports on the beach. It has been a complete day, first fighting against marine plastic litter and ocean pollution as part of our actions related to Goal 14 “Life Below Water” and then playing football, colpbol and volleyball as part of our actions related to Goal 3 “Good Health and Well-Being”.

You can find more information about the problem of marine litter following the #CleanSeas Campaign at http://www.cleanseas.org/ and the United Nations Environment Programme “Why do oceans and seas matter?” at https://www.unenvironment.org/explore-topics/oceans-seas/why-do-oceans-and-seas-matter

We should constantly clean and protect our beaches to make them enjoyable places!

We drink water and save our environment


Ice tea, coke and lemonade - unhealthy, but still found in many schoolbags of our youngsters. To take measures against that problem and to support a healthy drinking behaviour of our pupils, we decided to participate in a project from the charitable organisation a tip: tap. The organisation sponsored a drinking water fountain to fill our bottles with water and, at the same time, organised workshops on water usage and water issues.
Since the beginning of this school year, our fountain stands in the centre of our entrance hall. More and more pupils, as well as teachers, are using the fountain to fill up their bottles with clean, fresh and healthy water. In addition, they avoid plastic bottles, because many of them have bought bottles of steel from our school company „Schmids Druck Studio“. This company - operated by pupils and one teacher of our school - is a studio for print products like t-shirts, bottles, cups and bags. All of the products are made from sustainable materials or materials which save our environment. The bottles are printed with the name of its user, the logo of our school and the logo of our sponsor a tip: tap. So the two sustainable projects complement each other.

The importance and magic of Chemistry


The Department of Chemistry of the University of Ioannina opened its gates and welcomed the Erasmus+ students of our school, giving them the opportunity to discover the importance and magic of Chemistry. The event took place in the framework of the cognitive subjects of Physical Sciences and the "Science and New Technologies" Club, on 9th March 2018, at the Amphitheater of the Chemical Department.
The program included the attendance of a variety of chemical reactions, combined with the presentation and interpretation of impressive experiments by the scientific staff and postgraduate students. As an example, students participated in experimental procedures such as plastic synthesis, "banana-hammer" conversion, the creation of "cloud" with liquid nitrogen, and also learned useful information about dangerous "tasty" nutrition or for substances that pass from plastic to food burdening our health.
The enthusiastic comments and the common interest of all led to the implementation of Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being, Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnershisps for the Goals.
