SCHOOL NO.191, Bucharest, Romania

Built in Bucharest, in 1965 our school is for both boys and girls aged 7 to 15. It has about 580 pupils in 26 classrooms and 35 teachers (11 for primary school) who are well-qualified and very committed to their job. Apart from our classrooms that are beautifully decorated we also have well-equipped laboratories where we can make experiments or watch educational videos and listen to audio-cassettes related to our curriculum.
On 15th January 2003, thanks to our parents’ financial efforts and our teaching staff’s involvement the new IT Lab was inaugurated. It has 20 computers, a printer, a digital camera and modern furniture.
 Every year both the students and the teachers in our school do their best in order to get good results at the contests organized at different school subjects. So far, thanks to our committed teachers we have won a lot of prizes at Romanian, Maths, English, French, Physics, Biology, Geography, Art and Gym contests. All these achievements have brought us a very good reputation among the schools in Bucharest. Moreover, we regularly take part in charity activities such as gathering clothes and toys for the poor children or visiting old and sick people.

STIRLING PRIMARY SCHOOL, East London, South Africa

 50 years ago, 75 children enrolled into our school in the year 1954. They were placed into 5 classes.     

 Since then Stirling has evolved incredibly. With now 1303 children, we have 21 senior primary classes, 16 foundation phase and 6 grade R classes. We even provide care for 4 and 5 year olds. We also have a Library and 2 Computer Labs. Not to mention Cultural Rooms and a Lecture Theatre. To celebrate our 50^th year, our headmaster, Mr. Hall, who has been with us for the past 29 years, has decided to build an indoor pool complex. We have all raised money for this structure, by selling bricks with the buyers name on it. These bricks will be placed in the complex.

Once a term we give credit to children who have achieved, whether it is an academic or merit award. The various sporting events at Stirling provide excellent opportunity and facilities. We have two sports fields and a number of netball courts. Many children go on tours organized by the school, all around South Africa.  The Rugby boys left recently for Pietermaritz Berg. Ms. Marais and Ms. Muller organize a play each year. Mrs. Venter is in charge of our award winning choir and music department.

We learn a lot about other countries, as we welcomingly host pupils and teachers from around the world. Stirling is indeed a wondrous school.

INTERED KALLITHEAS, Athens, Greece

Located in Athens, Greece our school is part of a big and well-known organization called Interlingua-Intered. For the last 25 years it has been providing people (aged 7-77) with the opportunity to take foreign language and Information Computer Technology courses.

Interlingua-Intered is also an academic and examination centre for CIE (Cambridge International Examination). Besides, it also issues International Diplomas in ICT.

We have students from 7 to 77 years old and basically help them to develop their computer skills.
We would like very much to communicate (via the Internet) with children all over the world and get to know one another better.  We would also like to practise and improve our English. For your information, we study it as a second language.

The Duke of York's Royal Military School, Dover, England, UK

The Duke of York's Royal Military school is situated in the heart of Dover. But it hasn't always been this way, in 1803 was when the school first opened. It was built in Chelsea, but due to the World Wars we were evacuated and we settled in Dover in 1903. The school celebrated its 200th birthday just last year. The school used to be an all boys school but only 11 years ago were girls introduced. Now there are many girls.
 

In our school there are many boarding houses for both girls and boys.
All the houses are named after famous war heroes. Here are some of them: Marlborough, Wolfe, Clive, Wolsey, Wellington etc.
 

The school is only for children whose mums or dads have been in the armed forces. This because it is a military school and when you get into year nine then you start doing CCF (Combined Cadet Force) and you learn all about the army. In your year ten you get to go on CCF camp and you take part in a series of different exercises.

CCF teaches you all the things that the British Armed Forces learn in their training.

We have a chapel, a dinning hall, a swimming pool, a sports field for running, sports fields for hockey, netball, rugby, tennis, etc. We also have a range of different clubs that pupils can do.
 

Participating pupils: Ellen C., Nichole B., Catherine (Lizzie) K., Natasha G., Joseph W., Georgina P., Danielle F., Prerana G., April C., Siobhan C., Georgina B., Daniel K., Nikita M., Hannah S., Eleanor C., Samantha M., Jennie W., Loiuse T, Natalie W.
