On Sunday, June 21, Janek Tomczyk and Eliza Kopera from Class 1m saved the life of a man who was drowning in Barbara Pond in Katowice.
The man was submerged and already at the bottom of the water. Janek and Eliza jumped into the pond, pulled the victim out, and immediately began resuscitation efforts on their own while waiting for the Air Rescue Service (LPR) helicopter to arrive. They also maintained contact with the 112 emergency dispatcher throughout the incident.
Thanks to their quick response and actions, the man survived. The doctor who arrived at the scene confirmed the restoration of vital functions.
This heroic act deserves great admiration. We are proud that students of our school do not remain indifferent when another human being needs help. Kindness and empathy are values of immeasurable importance.
We also extend our congratulations to the parents for raising children who are so sensitive and ready to help others.
