On 20^th October, our school's English language book club held a special event to mark Halloween. Instead of picking a full novel to discuss this time, the plan was made to focus on a short story and to discuss our thoughts on the horror genre.

During the third week of October, we were delighted to host Mr Peter Kowatschew, a teacher of Physical Education and Economics from Anne-Frank-Realschule plus Mainz school in Germany.

Between 13^th and 16^th October, Gimnazija Vič joined in with other schools and educational institutions across Europe by celebrating the valuable experiences that international cooperation can bring through the #ErasmusDays programme.

Over the third weekend of October, the official Ljubljana Marathon took place. This year was a special occasion as it marked the 30th anniversary of this event in the city's history.

On 6^th October, students from our third-year classes enjoyed a trip to the Karst region of Slovenia and Trieste in Italy. The excursion was linked to The Year of Srečko Kosovel, a project throughout 2026 which was established by the Slovenian government to mark a century since the death of this poet who left such an important legacy within national and world literature.

On 1^st September, we joined other schools across Slovenia in marking the start of the new school year. While teachers and other school staff had been busy for weeks beforehand, this day was the official beginning and the chance for our students to return to their classrooms.

As the school year came to a close, lots of additional activities were arranged for the students in our first three year groups as our final-year students sat their Matura exams (the national exams in Slovenia for those finishing secondary school).

Through this school year, a group of our students, under the mentorship of Mr Andrej Smrdu from our chemistry department, worked towards gaining a place in competing team for the prestigious International Chemistry Olympiad.

On 12^th June, Gimnazija Vič was honoured to have H.E. Amit Narang, the Indian ambassador to Slovenia, as a special guest to our school.

This has been another successful year for the English language book club at Gimnazija Vič. Although there has been a loosely organised group like this for a long time, it is only in the past few years that it has been properly structured and it's great to see that the efforts made in this regard are definitely worthwhile.

The Gimnazija Vič choir has had another busy and successful year. Under the continued mentorship of Marija Mihevc, our school’s music teacher, their regular rehearsals led to a series of crowd-pleasing performances at local choral festivals and at school events like our annual concert for Christmas and New Year.

On 19^th May, the final of the Ljubljana Basketball Championship for this year was held in the main sports hall of Gimnazija Vič

On Tuesday, May 19^th, students and teachers from the V. Gymnasium in Zagreb, with whom we are collaborating in the Food for the Future Erasmus+ project, visited us for a one-day trip.

Through this school year, students from schools in three countries worked on pieces of haiku which were put forward to be part of this year's International Haiku Competition. As well as Gimnazija Vič, we were delighted to have our partner schools of Državni znanstveni licej Franceta Prešerna in Trieste, Italy and Gimnazija Pula in Pula, Croatia involved in this project for another year.

At the start of April, the results of this year's IATEFL English competition were announced. This is an annual project organised across Slovenia in which secondary school students in both 3rd and 4th years take part in a range of different test activities to demonstrate their knowledge and abilities when it comes to the English language.
