On 14 October, our school celebrated National Education Day, a special occasion that brought together teachers and all members of our school staff.
During a formal gathering, our Headteacher, Joanna Wojtynek, extended her warm wishes to everyone, thanking them for their daily work, dedication and contribution to creating a welcoming environment for learning and personal growth. She emphasised the importance of teamwork, which enables our school to achieve its goals and support students in developing their passions and talents.
One of the highlights of the gathering was the presentation of the Headteacher’s Awards, recognising the hard work, professionalism and outstanding commitment of the recipients.
The day also included activities focused on safety. All school staff took part in safety training, which provided an opportunity to review key procedures and highlighted the importance of working together to maintain a safe environment for both learning and work.
National Education Day is an excellent opportunity to recognise not only the dedication of teachers but also the everyday efforts of everyone who helps our school run smoothly and contributes to its positive atmosphere.
We wish all our teachers and staff continued job satisfaction, many reasons to feel proud, endless inspiration, and the kindness and gratitude that give us strength every day!

On 9 October, our school community cast its votes!
Julia Czapek from class 3d1/d2 was elected the new Student Council President, with Justyna Groetschel from class 2m as her deputy.
Congratulations to both of them! We look forward to seeing the new Student Council’s ideas and initiatives come to life!
 

Over the past few days, our school has been transformed into a real photography studio! Zuzanna Letza from class 2m, who is passionate about photography, took group photos of our classes, teachers and school staff.
Thanks to her enthusiasm and dedication, we now have a special keepsake that will help us remember our school community in the 2026/2027 school year. 📷
A big thank you to Zuza for her time, creativity and professionalism! We would also like to thank her helpers – Zuzia, Eliza, Marta and Miłosz – for supporting her throughout the photo shoot.
Zuza, thank you, and we look forward to seeing your next photography projects! ❤️📸
 

Students from classes 2m and 4m took part in the international photography project “Jugend-Fotomarathon”, held from 18 to 21 September. The project was organised by Internationale Akademie für Photographie e.V. (IAPh), with artist Ulrich Nowikow as our partner.
The project brought together young people from several European cities and countries. Participants shared their photographic perspectives on the world around them, including students from Pankow and Kołobrzeg, a school from Mals, Italy, young people from Wörgl, Austria, and students from our school.
Each team was asked to take photographs inspired by four themes:

• Transport and (sustainable) mobility
• Shopping and (sustainable) consumption
• Nature and green spaces in the city
• Sport, play and physical activity

Each group had to submit one photograph for each theme. This gave participants an opportunity to explore their cities from different perspectives and show how everyday life, urban spaces and the activities of local residents can be captured through photography.
Our school was represented by two teams:
Class 4m:

• Marta Dawidowska
• Karolina Radzik
• Julia Musialska

Class 2m:

• Zuzanna Letza
• Zuzanna Karpińska
• Eliza Kopera
• Marta Jasicka

Both teams from classes 2m and 4m achieved particular success. Their photographs of Tychy received awards and were selected for an exhibition at Jugendkunstschule Pankow, an art school in Berlin’s Pankow district.
The exhibition opened on 25 September in the presence of the district mayor. The photographs are displayed in the corridor of Jugendkunstschule.
It is worth highlighting the contribution of Hubert Götz from Lauingen, Bavaria, a long-standing partner in the Tychy–Lauingen cooperation. He suggested including Tychy in this international initiative. The exhibition at Jugendkunstschule Pankow also features photographs taken by Ms Seidel.
Taking part in the project gave our students an opportunity to develop their photographic skills, creativity and teamwork, while discovering a new way of looking at Tychy through the lens and exchanging experiences with young people from other European cities.
Congratulations to Zuzanna Letza, Zuzanna Karpińska, Eliza Kopera, Marta Jasicka, Marta Dawidowska, Karolina Radzik and Julia Musialska, as well as to all the other participants! Special thanks go to Ulrich Nowikow and Internationale Akademie für Photographie e.V. for inviting our students to take part in this international project. 📸
 

On 6 October, students from classes 1c, 1d1, and 1m took part in the March for Respect – Tychy Against Violence, an event promoting positive relationships and drawing attention to the importance of empathy and kindness.
The march began at 11:00 a.m. at Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński Square, and participants then walked together to Solidarity Park and the Giraffe Monument.
The slogans “Stop Violence”, “Stop Hate”, “More Empathy”, and “More Goodness” highlighted the main message of the event: everyone has a role to play in creating a school and community where people feel respected and supported.
We’re glad our students could join this initiative and represent our school at such an important event. Sometimes, simply showing up and standing together can send a powerful message. ❤️
