Choosing what to study after the final years of secondary education is an important decision. Learning about the available study options, asking questions and discovering which paths best match their interests can help students approach this stage with greater knowledge and perspective.
Last week, El Regato Ikastetxea welcomed the University of Deusto and Mondragon University for a series of meetings aimed at both students and their families.
Last school year, El Regato Ikastetxea launched its school mediation programme to help foster a positive, respectful and participatory school environment. Since then, we have continued to develop the initiative with the support of GEUZ, an organisation working alongside the school to help implement and develop the programme.
This Wednesday, we took another step forward by holding a training session for the families of students in Years 5 and 6 of Primary Education and Years 1 and 2 of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), the year groups participating in the programme this school year.
The school year has just begun, and our 4th ESO students are already taking part in a new international experience. Over the past few days, we have welcomed 19 students from Albrecht Thaer Gymnasium in Hamburg, as part of the cultural and language exchange programme we share with this German school.
During their stay, the German students, together with their exchange partners, had the opportunity to discover some of the most representative places and elements of our culture and surroundings. Gernika, Bilbao and Artxanda were some of the highlights of the experience, combining cultural and sporting activities, visits around the city and plenty of opportunities to spend time together.
The school garden is much more than a place to grow plants. At El Regato School, it is also a learning space where our students can discover where food comes from, learn to care for nature and understand the importance of making the most of the resources around us.
This week, our 2nd Primary students enjoyed a very special hamaiketako made with produce from our own school garden. What makes this experience even more meaningful is that these tomatoes and cucumbers have their own story: the students planted them last year, when they were in 1st Primary.
