The school year has just begun, and our 4th ESO students are already taking part in a new international experience. Over the past few days, we have welcomed 19 students from Albrecht Thaer Gymnasium in Hamburg, as part of the cultural and language exchange programme we share with this German school.
During their stay, the German students, together with their exchange partners, had the opportunity to discover some of the most representative places and elements of our culture and surroundings. Gernika, Bilbao and Artxanda were some of the highlights of the experience, combining cultural and sporting activities, visits around the city and plenty of opportunities to spend time together.
The school garden is much more than a place to grow plants. At El Regato School, it is also a learning space where our students can discover where food comes from, learn to care for nature and understand the importance of making the most of the resources around us.
This week, our 2nd Primary students enjoyed a very special hamaiketako made with produce from our own school garden. What makes this experience even more meaningful is that these tomatoes and cucumbers have their own story: the students planted them last year, when they were in 1st Primary.
Our classrooms are once again filled with voices, new encounters and new experiences. After the summer break, students at El Regato School have returned to school to begin a new year full of learning and moments to share.
For some, these first days have been a chance to reconnect with classmates, teachers and familiar spaces. For others, such as our youngest students, they have marked the first steps into a new stage, gradually discovering their classrooms, routines and everything that lies ahead.
Students from the first year of Bachillerato (Upper Secondary Education) at El Regato School have taken another important step in their education thanks to an Erasmus+ project that enabled them to complete two weeks of work placements in companies across the German region of Schleswig-Holstein.
This experience was the second stage of an exchange programme that began in April, when thirteen German students came to Bizkaia to carry out their own work placements in local companies. This time, it was the turn of eleven students from our school to travel to Germany and experience first-hand the value of working in an international environment.
What happens when students not only learn science, but also explain and share it with others?
The answer can be found in Zientzia Azoka, an initiative led by 1st-year Electronics Baccalaureate students that turns learning into a real experience of communication, collaboration and outreach.
