On 1 September, Gimnazija Vič joined other schools across Slovenia in reopening our doors to our students after the long summer break.

We would like to congratulate Ana Jankovec, one of our second-year students, for her outstanding achievement in being awarded first place in a recent art competition..

On 24^th May 2022, an art exhibition was organised by the art club of Gimnazija Vič.

Towards the end of the year, a group of students with a keen interest in photography spent several weeks taking part in a special workshop as part of the ART creative course.

On Tuesday, 25 October 2022, the Gimnazija Vič astronomy club organised a special project to make the most of the partial solar eclipse which could be seen from Slovenia. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth, the Moon and the Sun are perfectly aligned in the same plane of rotation.

On 21^st April, the authors whose work had been selected to be given an award, were invited to a ceremony at the Festivalna dvorana (Festival Hall). The event was enjoyable due to the wonderful readings of the commissioned works which were enhanced by live musical performances and short interviews with the members of the jury, through which we got to know their different fields of work.

Our trip to Belgium began very early on the morning of March 7, 2022. Still sleepy but full of expectations and enthusiasm, we gathered at Gimnazija Vič. The first leg of the journey was by van which took us to Trieste for our first flight.

On 8^th March, a blood donation campaign was organised for the students of Gimnazija Vič who were old enough to take part.

Blood is provided by volunteers who donate it as a way of helping the sick and even saving lives. Blood is an irreplaceable part of the medical system, which only people can provide for each other and we may all find ourselves in the situation where we need to receive blood someday.

Our school’s English language book club was happy to be able to continue with its plan for the school year by having a special event to mark Christmas and the festive season on 13^th December.

At the start of October, the Gimnazija Vič English Book Club arranged its first meeting of the new school year. Although the group has been running in some form for over a decade now, this marks a new type of organisation with a more structured reading programme for those students who are already very confident readers.

On 17^th February, a small delegation from our English department travelled to Budapest to meet up with our colleagues from Közgazdasági Politechnikum Alternatív Gimnázium, one of our partner schools in creative projects.

On Tuesday, 13^th December, a holiday-themed concert was held at Gimnazija Vič.

During the last week of April, a delegation of teachers and students from Gimnazija Vič travelled to North Macedonia to meet up with our partner schools in the Erasmus+ Green STEM project.

As always, students across all our four years had exams to take towards the end of the school year. While our first three year groups have regular class tests so they can move up to the next stage of their education with us, those in their final year have to sit the Matura exams. These are state exams for those who are finishing this level of education and allow students to continue with their academic path by getting a place at university.
