HOLIDAYS
We are on holidays three times a year:
Christmas holidays (from 23rd of December to 8th of January)
Easter holidays (from 17th of April t0 24th of April)
Summer holidays (from 22nd of June to 15th of September)
But at school we have other festivities that we celebrate all together.
Halloween: In Catalonia this festivity is called Castanyada because people eat chestnuts and a typical dessert called “panallets”. At school the students of 4th level sell cakes because they want to learn money for their final trip and there is also a disco party.
Christmas: There are some activities (disco, chess, skateboard competition, dance classes…) for the students. Each class celebrate “The invisible friend”. All the classmates buy presents for another student. But the other student doesn’t know who gives him/her the present.
Carnival: The students prepare workshops for the other students and there is a competition of costumes and the winner has a present.
San George: It’s a literary party. All of the students prepare tales, poems, and stories… for that day.
End of the course: The students go to a theme park or sometimes there is a concert at the high school.
TRIPS
All the courses spend three or four days and nights with the classmates. In first of Secondary we go two nights in October because students need to know the new classmates. In 2nd of Secondary we go to the Delta del Ebro in June and in 3rd we go to the snow. In 4th we do a final trip to celebrate the end of Secondary studies. We go to Mallorca or Paris…
CLUBS
In the school, on Tuesday’s afternoons, when we haven’t got any classes, there are basketball teams, football teams and a performance group. During the break there is a chess club.
