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.

At the start of April, the results of this year's IATEFL English competition were announced.

The exchange was a great opportunity to share our culture and strengthen friendships.

On 20^th April, Gimnazija Vič held its annual event linked to World Book Night. This celebration of books and reading has been a major part of our English department's calendar for over a decade and brings students from our school and others around Ljubljana together to mark special literary anniversaries while also celebrating the current generation of young writers. Although this event is normally held on 23rd April to coincide with the United Nations Day of Books and Copyright, due to other events being held in our school, the decision was made to bring it forward a few days.

Every year, the team behind the Slovene language drama group at Gimnazija Vič select a play to be their main event in the school calendar. For 2026, the decision was taken to perform “Bang Bang You’re Dead”, by the American playwright William Mastrosimone.

This made up one of only two teams from Slovenia at the event.
