THE ADDES VALUE OF THIS PARTNERSHIP FOR OUR SCHOOL The possibility to achieve this partnership opens new perspectives for the students to study the cultural heritage, the social inclusion, freedom, tolerance, diversity and how to work with others (informing, sharing, supporting) and how to get involved in decision making.
We value the uniqueness and importance of every student and will seek to help them form a sense of their own worth through developing self confidence, self expression and the ability to relate withpeers and others, while at all times making allowances for diversity among people. Our students show great interest in language learning, the use of ICT, exploration and discovery, the arts, music, dance, sport, literature. We support our pupils by combating early school leaving due to any form of bullying, harassment, and intimidation. 10% of the our pupils considered they were online bullied. By the help of this Project, we will integrate all students, so everyone will feel valued and appreciated.
