About love - from prehistory to the present day (13th February 2024)
Just before Valentine’s Day class I B students visited the social welfare home (DPS - dom pomocy społecznej) in Gryfice. To celebrate the holiday of lovers, the young people presented popular songs and poems about love. They took the residents of the social welfare home on an unusual journey to the past and present showing different faces and images of love: men fighting for a woman in prehistoric times, the knight's return to the beloved lady of the court, the famous balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet, and even contemporary dating through Internet communicators.
The cooperation of ‘Chrobry’ students with Gryfice DPS is a project whose goal is to activate both young people and the local community. Not only does it bring joy to students and seniors, but also reduces social distance, enables exchange of experiences and supports the creation of valuable relationships. We would like to thank all those involved in this undertaking!

Trip to the District Court (by Sara Gac, class 1d)
On 13th November 2023 the students of classes 1 and 4 took part at the trip to the District Court in Gryfice. During the visit we were acquainted with the institution. We learnt about the department operating there, the staff of the court and their role. We also learnt what electronic surveillance is and how it works, how to become a judge, how a court worker is dressed. We learnt about the punishments and consequences of certain acts and the story of Ewa – a girl who committed suicide because of online hate. We had the opportunity to see Gordon Allport’s pyramid of hatred, which is a scheme consisting of 5 stages that are characterized by increasing harm towards a discriminated person. The trip ended with a visit to the detention centre and other rooms located in the court. The students were eager to ask questions and listen with interest to the tour leader (the judge). In my opinion, the trip was interesting and successful, because it inspired me to link my future with the law and I could learn interesting new information.

Spanish students in Poland! (29 października 2023)
After the exchange in Spain, there was time for the mobility in Poland. On 19th October 15 Spanish students and 2 teachers arrived in Gryfice, where they spent eleven days. The young people were hosted by the Polish students. The first offical meeting was held on Friday, 20th October. Mrs. Jolanta Folwarska, Principal of the school welcomed the guests from Spain and wished them an interesting stay not only at the school, but also in the region. After the official meeting, the exchange participants took part in a crash course in Polish, prepared by the students of ‘Chrobry’. The weekend was devoted to exploring different parts of the Zachodniopomorskie Province. The host families took their guests to numerous places: Szczecin Kołobrzeg, Międzyzdroje, Świnoujście, Wolin, Koszalin and Resko. The next part of the mobility programme was a visit in Gdański - one of the European capitals of culture. There the students visited the Main Town Hall and the Royal Road, the longest urban axis of the European Middle Ages, which made a great impression on our guests. The Gothic-Renaissance style of the town hall and the so-called Gdańsk houses (characteristic tenement houses with narrow facades with gables, additionally decorated with coats of arms or allegorical figures) bathed in the autumn sunshine contributed to the unique atmosphere and mood of the moment. Moreover, the young people visited the Artus Court located opposite the famous Neptune Fountain and the Uphagen House on Długa Street - the only reconstructed tenement house, which today reminds us of the former glory of Gdańsk. A unique point of the program was the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre. The building is considered one of the greatest works of architecture in recent years - it is the only theatre in the world with an opening roof! The theatre was built in the place where the first public theatre of the Republic of Poland was located in the 17th century. The Elizabethan stage and the opening roof, which allows viewers to fully travel to Shakespeare's era, are particularly impressive. The next day of the Polish-Spanish exchange started with a morning walk, after which the students reached the Museum of the Second World War. On Tuesday afternoon, they went to Sopot, where they were walking along one of the most famous streets in Poland, Bohaterów Monte Cassino Street, and along the famous pier. Thursday and Friday were the days which the Spanish students spent in our school. They, together with the Polish students, took part in lessons, for example geography, physics, social studies, maths, German and English as well as a sports competition, art workshop and round table debate on the differences and similarities between Polish and Spanish schools. They also took over the role of Indiana Jones and found a treasure by answering questions about Poland. The exchange ended with the ceremony, which took place in the Józef Pańkowski Hall. Mrs. Jolanta Folwarska, Principal of the school, thanked all the exchange participants, expressing special words of gratitude to the parents for fruitful cooperation and creating an open, warm home for the Spanish guests. The Principal also handed out certificates of participation in the exchange. The solemn mood of the moment was emphasized by entries in the school's commemorative book. It was a very touching moment, there were endless tears … . This is how history is made. This is how the future is created.
‘Chrobry’ in Spain! (19th October 2023)
The students of ‘Chrobry’ had a chance to develop their language, educational and cultural competences while taking part in a cooperation with a Spanish school - I.E.S Carlos Casares in Viana do Bolo. The most important part of the cooperation was the exchange, which started on 9th October. On that day 15 students and 2 teachers of ‘Chrobry’ set off to Spain where they spent the next ten days. The programme of the exchange was very attractive. During the mobility the participants took part in lessons in the Spanish school, played games, tried regional delicacies such as androlla or chorizo and browsed the stalls at the street market in Viana do Bolo. They also took part in traditional celebrations: Fiesta Nacional de España and Grape Harvest Festival in in Punxeiro. One of the most important goals of the exchange was visiting the most interesting places in the neighborhood. The students visited places in Portugal and Spain: the 17th century cathedral in Ermitas, a charming Portuguese town of Chaves with the medieval castle of Castelo de Chaves and the ruins of Roman thermal baths, the city of Ourense. They also visited Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia, where they saw many monuments, including the cathedral, the historic city government building and the monastery. Other interesting places were A Coruña and Lugo. The participants had the opportunity to climb to the top of the oldest working lighthouse, which was probably built during the reign of Emperor Trajan. In Lugo they walked along the defensive walls butli in the 4th century and saw the Casa dos Mosaicos (the mosaic museum). The students also had a chance to experience the nature: Lake Sanabria, Peña El Concejo Vigo de Sanabria or the highest peak of Galicia - Cabeza de Manzaneda. The exchange lasted 11 days and was an unforgettable experience for all participants. International student exchanges are an interesting form of learning that brings many tangible benefits. Thanks to them, young people break stereotypes, learn tolerance, open up to the world, learn foreign languages, and, above all, make friends.
Students made their choice! (17th October 2023)
After a one-week election campaign during which the candiadates for the position of the President of the Student Council could present their manifestos and discuss their programmes during a debate, the students of ‘Chrobry’ made their choice. They elected Łukasz Siemaszko – a student from class III C – to the position of the new Presinent. In his manifesto Łukasz wrote: ‘My name is Łukasz Siemaszko, I am in class 3c. I really enjoy getting to know other people and I'm always ready to help. If I become the President of the Student Council, my main goal will be to strengthen cooperation between students and teachers and continue current programs in our school. I would also like to organize interesting events. I believe that together we will show what the Student Council is and work together for our common good!’. Congratulations to Łukasz and good luck
Fourth-grade students on a pilgrimage (15th October 2023)

The students spent the next two days in Zakopane. They visited places related to John Paul II, i.e. the National Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima and the Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa. After a moment of reflection, there was time to explore the attractions near Krupówki Street and enjoy beautiful mountain landscapes on Gubałówka and on the route to the famous lake Morskie Oko. The moment that a lot of students were waiting for was a visit at the biggest amusement park in Poland – Energylandia. They had a chance to overcame their barriers of uncertainty and fear, getting on the highest rollercoasters not only in Poland, but also in Europe. The last two places the participants of the trip visited were Cracow and Częstochowa, where the students could attend a mass at Jasna Góra and get some time to visit the shrine.
Time to debate: Is homework necessary? (5th October 2023)
On 5th October the students of ‘Chrobry’ took part in a round table debate on homework. The starting point for the debate were the following questions: Do students do homework? How much time do they spend doing them? Do they do them on their own? What do they use? Should homework be graded and mandatory? The debate was very lively. The participants willingly shared their opinions and thoughts, which will certainly be taken into account when making decisions about homework at school.
‘Totalitarianisms of the 20th century - the curse of Europe’ at the Przełomy Dialogue Centre in Szczecin (29th September 2023)

Beautiful music setting, provided by the orchestra under the direction of Jerzy Wołosiuk, complemented the work, while the operatic singing of Lucyna Boguszewska, Joanna Myśliwska-Drożdż and Paweł Wolski intensified the solemn and touching mood of the play. Can a woman's love make her hit rock bottom? Can she save her dignity in the world dominated by men? The story of Ewa Pobratyńska, her life full of tragedy and overwhelming passions, aroused emotions and made art recipients reflect.

Known and unknown - in Gryfice (23 czerwca 2023)

Students of LO Chrobry - Iga Janowska, Franciszek Chyla, Mateusz Król and Tomasz Skrylonek from class II B - masterly solved the task about copyrights at the 9th week of the Liga Sprawiedliwości competition, obtaining the maximum number of points. With this excellent result, the team ‘Chrobry i Spraiwedliwi’ was promoted to the finals in which they won ... a gold medal! Young people performed tasks - mainly about law - from March. On the official website of the competition, organized by the Ministry of Justice, we read that its main goal was to get young people interested in legal issues and devolop the skills of working in a team. During the competition the participants faced questions about law, e.g. initiating bailiff enforcement, exclusion of a judge, buying land and obtaining building permit, compensation, establishment of associations, differences between the employment contract and the commission contract, the principles of correct citation and copyright in practice or lodging cassation and appeal. The form of performing the task was indicated by the competition organizer. Iga, Tomasz, Mateusz and Franciszek presented the problems in literary, multimedia or art forms. The tasks were different and of varying difficulty. Often the topic seemed simple, even banal, but it hid some hidden content, which is why each task was discussed for a long time, so as to show all the nuances of the problem. On May 22, the team faced the final task. The students, supervised by Mr. Tomasz Jędras, developed a collage depicting dilemmas and legal actions of a retired doctor. Their work was awarded the maximum number of points form the members of the jury – and the historical gold medal went to the students from ‘Chrobry’.
