On 15 and 16 September, students from Classes 3d1 and 4d3, together with volunteers from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oświęcim, visited the Memorial Site as part of the Study Visits programme.
The programme is designed for school students and aims to deepen their knowledge and understanding of World War II, Auschwitz and the Holocaust. The study visits are organised by the International Centre for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust.
During their September visit, the students took part in a guided tour of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, followed by a workshop entitled Questions about the Holocaust, held in the Reflection Room in Block 27.
 

Our first challenge for the new first-year students is already behind us! We made the most of the beautiful September weather and spent the day at Paprocańskie Lake, where an energetic competition, plenty of fun and lots of creative challenges were waiting for us.
At six different stations, each first-year class had to take on a specially prepared CHALLENGE. It was active, fun and full of creativity — but above all, it was a great opportunity to get to know one another better and spend time together outside the classroom.
As tradition dictates, everyone was treated to refreshments at Dzika cafe, the perfect addition to an exciting and eventful day.
Our graduates also joined us, showing that the bond with Kruczek does not end with graduation. We wish our alumni every success and all the best on the next stage of their educational journey. And to our first-year students, we wish you four wonderful years filled with new friendships, interesting experiences and, simply, a great time at Kruczek!
Special thanks go to the Youth Council, who organised the entire event and made sure that Freshers’ Day was full of positive energy, fun and great vibes.
And who won this year’s competition? 👀
We already know… but you’ll have to wait a little longer for the winner to be announced!
 

We are delighted to share the wonderful success of Magdalena Leżucha, a student of Class 1M, who took a place on the podium at the Silesian Dressage Championships last weekend.
The competition took place on 4–6 September 2026 in Zbrosławice, where Magdalena won 2nd place in the Amateur category! 🥈
This fantastic achievement is the result of her passion, hard work, dedication and love of equestrian sport. We warmly congratulate Magdalena on her success and wish her many more sporting achievements, continued development of her passion, and countless unforgettable moments in the equestrian arena! 💐
Magdalena, we are very proud of you! Congratulations! 👏🎉
 

From 6 to 11 September 2026, students from classes 4d4, 4e and 4m embarked on an unforgettable journey through Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
It was a fantastic six-day trip filled with new experiences, fascinating places, cultural discoveries and, of course, plenty of time spent together.
The students were accompanied by their form tutors: Ms Małgorzata Pawlik-Pszczółka, Ms Agata Nycz, Ms Joanna Gawor and Ms Ruta Seidel.
Our adventure began with an overnight journey to Berlin, where we explored some of the German capital’s best-known landmarks, including Unter den Linden, the Victory Column, Alexanderplatz, the Holocaust Memorial and the world-famous Museum Island. We also took a boat cruise along the River Spree, enjoying a different perspective on the city and its impressive architecture.
The next part of our journey took us north to Scandinavia. In Denmark, we explored Copenhagen, taking in its iconic Little Mermaid statue, Amalienborg Palace and the colourful and picturesque Nyhavn harbour. We also travelled to Helsingør, home to Kronborg Castle – the legendary “Castle of Hamlet”.
Our Swedish adventure included visits to the picturesque towns of Ystad, Lund and Malmö, as well as the beautiful island of Bornholm, often known as the “Majorca of the Baltic”. Its spectacular coastline, cliffs and the ruins of Hammershus Castle made a lasting impression.
One of the highlights of the entire trip was our visit to Ales Stenar, Sweden’s fascinating answer to Stonehenge. The site consists of 59 enormous stones arranged in the shape of a ship and dates back to between 500 and 1000 AD. Set dramatically on a cliff overlooking the Baltic Sea, it was a truly impressive place – and one that encouraged us to reflect on the history and mysteries of ancient cultures.
But the trip was about much more than sightseeing. It was also a great opportunity to strengthen friendships, integrate across classes and create shared memories. From exploring new places together to evening conversations, every day brought something new.
We returned to Tychy on the evening of 11 September, tired but full of unforgettable memories and stories to share.
A huge thank-you to our teachers for taking care of us and organising such a memorable trip!
It was a true Scandinavian adventure!

Well, not quite the whole thing, but we did read substantial excerpts from every part of Dziady. Some of them were even sung!
And during one of the breaks, our Principal herself read Ustępy.
We hereby predict that our great national poet would be pleased.
