May 2016 - GIMNAZJUM NR2 TRZEBINIA in POLAND – Alcohol and Smoking Awareness Month

The motto of this month was !!!

Stay away from ADDICTION?

Use of addictive substances—tobacco/nicotine, alcohol and other drugs—during adolescence interferes with brain development. Use of any addictive substance while the brain is still developing increases the chances of future use any addictive substances.

THE EARLIER AN INDIVIDUAL STARTS SMOKING, DRINKING OR USING  DRUGS, THE GREATER THE LIKELIHOOD OF DEVELOPING ADDICTION:

9 out of 10 people who abuse or are addicted to nicotine, alcohol or other drugs began using these substances before they were 18 

One way that addiction and substance abuse can be prevented is through screening and early intervention.

Messages that parents, doctors, teachers, the media and others  send to children and teens about the dangers of tobacco/nicotine, alcohol and other drug abuse can be extremely influential in helping to prevent addiction and reduce substance abuse.

PREVENTION PROGRAMS CAN HELP TEENS

·         Resist social pressures to engage in substance use

·         Strenghten their self-esteem

·         Improve decision-making and communication skills

·         Manage stress and anxiety

During the month GIM2 TRZEBINIA students took part in a workshop conducted by a professional addiction prevention coach. They had a chance to use Alcohol and Drugs Simulation Goggles.

These tools help demonstrate through multiple activities the simulated effect of alcohol impairment including impaired targeting skills, slower judgement, diminished focus, delayed reactions and a loss of balance. During the class the  trainer has aslo taught  how to deal with emotions. He used a strong argument that appeals to teens more bluntly than the health aspect - MONEY. Taking no intoxicants you can save a large sum and invest in yourself and therefore enjoy good health in adulthood.

Performance as a Tool to Prevent Substance Abuse

All over the world, young people are involved in and exposed to performance-based group activities that indirectly or directly help prevent substance abuse. They’re dancing, singing, clowning and acting, writing, composing and choreographing and exhibiting their work in various places.

Most of the projects focus on strengthening individual and community factors (protective factors) that allow young people to resist addictions. . 

Our students had a chance to watch a drama by a professional theater group entitled 'Make me the tree.' We met dangers associated with nicotine, alcohol and drugs.

Alcohol and smoking awareness month

The students of BME International Secondary Grammar School of Budapest have created posters for preventing smoking and alcohol misuse in young people.

OUR ERASMUS+ ALCOHOL AND SMOKING AWARENESS MONTH

A workshop on alcohol and smoking awareness was held at IISS “Vincenzo Lilla” Francavilla Fontana on Tuesday 17 May. We relied on “Unplugged”, a European school-based programme for preventing smoking and alcohol misuse in young people.

The students were involved in group activities designed to equip them with specific skills and resources to resist negative social influences and to support knowledge about alcohol and smoking and their adverse health consequences. They showed a great deal of interest and took part actively in the workshop.

Botanical Garden.

We all know how relaxing it is just to be in the nature, to see an amazing living organism or to observe a plant. Last week, our Erasmus+ Activity project based on these ideas. Grade 10 with the Biology teacher from BME International Secondary Grammar School of Budapest had a short trip to the Botanical Garden of Eötvös Loránd University. This garden is a nature reserve area where Botanists are doing their research and students can study taxonomy, plant physiology and plant ...anatomy. The place is popular among people who would like to have a nice, relaxing walk in a natural environment in the middle of the city. Our students had the opportunity to have a pleasant walk in the garden, visit the palm house, play in the Japanese garden and observe tropical and subtropical plants. They could identify and observe common Hungarian plants and non-native species as well, like carnivorous plants, Mimosa or Welwitschia.

April 2016 - GIMNAZJUM NR 2 TRZEBINIA in POLAND – LIVING ACTIVLY IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

The motto of this month was MEET ACTIVE INSPIRATION !!!

Time to sum up APRIL activities - the month of INTENSE OUTDOOR RECREATION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Nature walks, hikes or rides offer rejuvenation for body and mind.

Everywhere you look in nature you find balance, harmony, life, and renewal.

Our planet holds a world of secrets just waiting to be discovered.

Duing the month the students took part in another nature trip.

This time they admired the charms of Cracow-Częstochowa Upland in a spring sunshine. They climbed up Ogrodzieniec Castle Hill and the nearby climbers areas. Then hiked in the nature reserve of Mount Zborów, which impressed them much. The most adventurous students experienced caving through the Berkow cave.

               There was also a chance to try one's hand at cycling!!!

A &  E students from Gimnazjum nr  Trzebinia took part in the recreational 40-kilometer Kryspinów- Trzebinia Bike Ride. The rally route ran in a beautiful area of Krakow-Czestochowa Upland.

About 2,000 cyclists, including 10 from our school and a dozen graduates enjoyed the stunning spring views and simply had a good time.

Can a teacher with passion be an inspiration for the student ??? – YES, FOR SURE.  

The best example of this are the teachers in our school who, not without reason, are taking part in the A&E project promoting healthy lifestyle.

Mr. Robert Łączka and Mr. Dariusz Wcisło showed us how actively spend time fulfilling  own passions.

The lecture promoting healthy and active way of spending free time close to the nature was organized. The speech about holidays adventures to Georgia was made by PE teacher Dariusz Wcisło. Together with other PE teacher Robert Łączka and three other friends went to reach the 5000 high summit - Kazbek (5033asl). Teenagers had a chance to see the beauty of icy mountains, Caucasus. They saw how differential is Georgia. Mr. Wcisło pictured that you need to be well prepared to such an adventure. We can't forget about good fitness condition and nutrition during months before the trip. Surely after this speech the students are motivated to being active.

The teachers also shared their passion for marathon running.

Only in the month of April they took part in three marathons including the cross-country mountain running Pearls of Malopolska .

Will the participants of the project follow in their footsteps?  Some of our students have already done it !!!

Dozens of students from Trzebinia primary and secondary schools, including representatives of our school, took part in the Run Athletics for Everyone at Orlen Warsaw Marathon, on  April 23rd in the area around the National Stadium in Warsaw.

Excursion to  Hármashatárhegy

On the 4th of May the BME International Secondary Grammar School of Budapest students had a little excursion to Hármashatárhegy, which is located on Buda side, at 495 m above the sea level. The mountain is popular place for hiking, biking and paragliding. Hármas-Határ-Hegy means "Three Border Mountain" (Buda, Óbuda, Pesthidegkút), these three city borders met at this point in the 19th century. Today, these cities have merged into Budapest.
During the excursion our Geography teacher explained the life of the forest.
