There is compulsory testing except for vaccinated or recovered people. The school management decides on a case-by-case basis which pupils are exempted from compulsory attendance and participate in school-led learning at home (saLzH). We are still assigned to the "green" corona level. After the holidays, tests will be carried out three times a week for two weeks (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays).
We wish all students, their parents and guardians and all colleagues a relaxing autumn break!
Es besteht Testpflicht außer für geimpfte oder genesene Personen. Welche Schülerinnen bzw. Schüler vom der Präsenzpflicht befreit werden und am "schulisch angeleiteten Lernen zu Hause (saLzH)" teilnehmen, entscheidet die Schulleitung im Einzelfall.Wir sind weiterhin der Coronastufe "grün" zugeordnet. Nach den Ferien wird zwei Wochen lang dreimal getestet (montags, mittwochs, freitags).
Wir wünschen allen Schülerinnen und Schülern, ihren Eltern und allen Kolleginnen und Kollegen erholsame Herbstferien!

Artivism for Nature
The Global Goals (aka SDGs) are overarching goals and therefore relevant to any subject. 6D recycled old magazines into new visuals of our planet‘s lungs; trees. They uploaded their tree Art onto the Global Goals website to add to the virtual forest of the ‚Artivism for Nature‘ project. Some of their art work can also be found in this collage. Why don‘t you add yours? Here is the link.

Die Global Goals (auch SDGs genannt) sind übergreifende Ziele und daher für jedes Thema relevant. 6D hat alte Zeitschriften zu neuen Bildern der Lunge unseres Planeten recycelt; die Bäume. Sie haben ihre Baumkunst auf die Global Goals Website hochgeladen, um den virtuellen Wald des Projekts "Artivism for Nature" zu ergänzen. Einige ihrer Kunstwerke sind auch in dieser Collage zu sehen. Warum fügst du nicht deine hinzu? Hier ist der Link.

Juniorwahlergebnisse / Junior election results
Wahlergebnisse Junior BTW Deutschland gesamt / Results of the Junior election for the whole of Germany
Am 20. September fand an unserer Schule die Junior-Bundestagswahl statt. 528 Schüler*innen ab Klasse 9 waren zur Stimmabgabe aufgerufen. Der Politik Grundkurs Q3 organisierte im Vorfeld eine Podiumsdiskussion zur Unterstützung der Wahlentscheidung und verteilte Wahlbenachrichtigungen. Professionelle Wahlkabinen, eine Wahlurne und Stimmzettel mit den passenden Kandidat*innen für unseren Wahlkreis 80 sorgten für eine authentische Wahl. Die Ergebnisse unserer Schulwahl weichen dabei nicht nur vom offiziellen Ergebnis der Bundestagswahl, sondern auch vom Ergebnis der Bundes-Juniorwahl deutlich ab. Viel Spaß bei der Analyse der Ergebnisse!

Clean the school/Saubere Schule - Umuganda (P30)
Clean the school - Umuganda (P30)
Last Saturday, 2.10.2021, it was finally time again for four hours of thorough cleaning of the schoolyard and building of the P30 site together with students, teachers and parents. In total, more than 40 people came together on a sunny and pleasantly warm autumn day to take on tasks that cannot be done by the regular cleaners. Among other things, the furniture was arranged in the schoolyard, flowerbeds and green areas as well as the entire schoolyard were cleaned, plants were trimmed, stage parts and seat sets from the FoN were stowed away, the entire entrance area was thoroughly cleaned, dishes and cutlery were collected in the building, trash was removed, and walls and floors were cleaned. The students of the UNESCO group, who also designed the new Umuganda logo, called for the Umuganda action. Especially many participants came from Q1 (12th grade), but also students from the middle school actively supported.
On behalf of the entire school community, we would like to thank all those who came together to school on their Saturday off between 12 and 4 pm to beautify the site. Umuganda will take place again in January and then will certainly be announced in the long term.
The idea behind Umuganda can be loosely stated after John F. Kennedy: "Don't ask what the school can do for you - ask what you can do for the school."
