The
debating club is popular among the students of the Lyceum as well among
the students from other schools and colleges. Debating
Club PANDORA was founded in 1994 in Klovskiy Lyceum with the
support of “Renascence” fund. The first to head the newly
established club were English teachers Jamie Taber and Zoya Gulko. In 1995 the team from the
lyceum debating club became the first team to represent Ukraine at the
first European
contest in summer (Hungary, 1995). Over
the last years few debating movement spread quickly throughout Ukraine.
The members of our club represent Kyiv at All-Ukrainian
debating tournament annually. Many of our debators were
marked out among the best speakers of Ukraine. Our
debators have achieved high results at the international tournaments in
Bulgaria, Estonia and Lithuania.
The
year 1999 was also marked by another outstanding event. Pandora won the Project of the Co-operation with the USA Schools Contest.
Ten students from Klovskiy Lyceum #77 took park in this exchange
program.
In
spring of 1999 they welcomed students and teachers from Cherry
Creek
High
School,
Colorado, and in fall they had studied at this American High school for
three weeks, winning admiration and respect of all Americans they
socialized with. In 1998 a debating program for primary and senior school pupils (form 2 to 7) started. And at the first city tournament a pupil of the 5th form won the first prize among the best speakers together with the boy from the 7th form who was the best at the All-Ukrainian tournament for juniors. On
June, 6, 2000 the president
of the lyceum debating club Kateryna Yasko greeted the US President
William Jefferson Clinton on the Mykhaylivska Sq., Kyiv. The
participants of the debating club have grown before our eyes. When
they first came at the debating meeting they were afraid to say
something. And now they are able to adduce so many proofs that it’d be
wiser to make for time out. This competitions and tournaments help you both to see yourself and understand the others. Debating teaches to respect alternate conception, it teaches tolerance. In fact debate is an attempt to look evenly at the problems from different points of view. Debating is the future in the development of democracy.
Several
times annually literary soirees take place in Klovskiy Lyceum #77. They are
dedicated to the work of a certain outstanding writer or poet. Among the
constant participants in this unusually warm soirees are our pupils,
teachers and our friends. In Klovskiy Lyceum there are several non-political youth organizations and clubs. Among them a youth Korchak group in memory of an outstanding writer Yanush Korchak. there is also a Non-political Ukrainian Youth Organization - European Youth Parliament, which was founded by our former student Olga Smirnova in 2002. Today our students take an active part in every session of the European Youth Parliament.
From
the first years since the foundation of the school, teachers have been
trying to develop their pupils’ love for art. The school used to have
its small amateur theater and a band. Everyone
here was fond of singing. So it is obvious that this school gave birth to
such world-famous singers like Maria Lytvynenko-Volhelmut and Konstantin
Laptyev. The Senior and Junior School plays
performances are highlights
of the school calendar.
The
Lyceum
has two concert halls – the bigger one used for major lyceum occasions
and another smaller one occupied mostly by the Junior school. Both
concert halls constantly boast a fine display of pupils’ achievements.
We
have several gymnasiums, a hard tennis/basketball court, and a fully
equipped sports complex with facilities for Gymnastics, Badminton,
Basketball, Volleyball and Football as well as a complete dancing complex.
Klovskiy
Lyceum is involved in matches among the other schools teams and the
fixture list includes many of the strongest schools in Kyiv. We have a
record of successes to be proud of and every year a number of pupils
achieve representative in various sports. The
Lyceum sporting facilities provide different sports played by the students
at Klovskiy. In addition to those mentioned before Chess, Table Tennis,
Lawn Tennis and Dancing are
also played. MusicAll
pupils receive formal music tuition up to the age of 14 (for 7 years)
whereupon they are able to choose Music (school Choir) as an optional
subject.
A sertain number of pupils receives individual tuition in Music such as piano for example.
All
pupils are encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities through
their involvement with lyceum competitions. Competitions are contested in
the following events: Choir, Sports and Debating. Apart
from this every year the Olympiads and contests in every subject are held
among the students at Klovskiy Lyceum. The winners take further part in
the district, city and All-Ukrainian contests. The history of Klovskiy
have known a lot of names of great students winning the highest-rated
Ukrainian and international contests. School
expeditions, tours and visits are an excellent way of broadening the
experience of members of the whole Lyceum. Both the preparation for and
participation in these trips help to develop leadership, organizational
and inter-personal skills. There
are expeditions to the Country Boarding School being under the patronage
of Klovskiy Lyceum. These expeditions provide an opportunity for Klovskiy pupils
and Staff to see monies raised by the School at various charity events in
action. In
addition to these activities, various trips and weekend excursions are
organized throughout the year. This includes tours organized within the
classes as well as the inter-classes and inter-schools activities. The
tours vary from outdoor adventure weekends in and out side the city to
long-term travels on duration up to several months. Recent
examples include holidays in France and Slovakia, tourist visits to Lviv,
Saint Petersburg and Moskow, outdoor adventure weekends in Kanev, Uman,
Chernihiv, theatre trips, visiting museums and galleries and tour round
Kyiv – a cultural center of Ukraine. It was an experience they would
never forget. Our
students keep in touch and exchange the delegations with the students from
the USA, Great Britain, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, France, Germany,
Bulgaria and other countries. A course in American Literature and Country
Study was given by an American, Jamie Taber for nine years, a course in
Country Study and Literature of Great Britain by Mr. Queen Ile for two
years and there was also a group of students from British Universities
teaching out for the program “Teaching
ABROAD”. Several
years ago a group of American teachers and professors came to visit
Klovskiy Lyceum No.77. The same year it was visited by a number of
American students. Since that time every year a group of foreign students
comes to study here for a usual term of several months. In the last years
Klovskiy have seen outgoing young people coming from the USA and various
European countries. When
coming here such students have a good chance to learn the culture and
traditions of Ukrainian people when staying with the host family, whose
child studies at Klovskiy Lyceum. The pupils are encouraged to participate
in all school activities ensuring that
students develop a varied range of interests and a well-rounded
personality. Close consultation with other pupils, teachers and staff
allows pupils a say in the selection of those. The mix of different
cultures within the school broadens perspectives and promotes open
mindedness. Throughout
the year, boarders are encouraged to participate in many of the activities
that are offered by the school. The school's sports facilities are
available out of school hours. Every student is encouraged to pursue an
activity. Suggestions for new activities are always taken into
consideration. In addition to these activities, trips and weekend
excursions are organized throughout the year. Recent examples include
outdoor adventure weekends in Kanev, Uman, Lviv, theatre trips, visiting
museums and galleries and tour round Kyiv – a cultural center of
Ukraine. It
is important that time spent at school is fondly remembered. Although
special taster weekends are arranged during the academic year, we welcome
pupils at any time. A
fully qualified nursing sister is always on duty and there is a first-aid
post in the main building. If urgent
treatment is needed, pupils will be serviced at school. All
the students are registered on the school medical books which are kept in
and regularly reviewed by the Central District Polyclinic. Every year all
our students pass a medical inspection there in order to keep every child
fit.

In
1999 for the first time in history Ukrainian team took part in the world

Drama
at Klovskiy Lyceum has a long tradition dating back to the early 1900s. 
All
productions offer opportunities to pupils of all ages and are eagerly
anticipated by the local community. There are not only roles for those
wishing to play on the stage but a team of sound engineers and backstage
assistants in the face of the students themselves who perform a worthwhile
role for each production.
All
of these sports as well as Athletics and Cross Running have a loyal
following. The major games are Football and Basketball for the boys, and
Volleyball for the girls. P.E. is part of the curriculum for all pupils.
Of
those pupils who do not receive formal tuition after this age, many pupils
are
still involved in many musical groups which are popular in the Lyceum.
Tutors visit the school on a regular basis to provide over half our pupils
with individual, specialist instruction.
