Juliusz Słowacki Secondary School is a school which brings together students aged 16 -19. About 520 students attend the school at present. There are three types of classes in it. Classes with extended biology and chemistry, classes with extended maths and physics

and classes with extended the humanities.

Our students are hard-working, ambitious and eager to work. The tests and exams results they achieve are very high. We take pride in being the best school in our county and in

the lead (fourth place) in the Świętokrzyskie Region. Almost every student who graduates from our school goes to higher education.

There are a lot of after-school activities in the school. Moreover, we organize a lot of events. Our students run the webpage and the newspaper of Juliusz Słowacki Secondary

School. However, not only do they help at school but also help poor people and a range of institutions as volunteers.

The teaching staff of the school consists of 50 highly-skilled teachers.

Helping them become fluent speakers of the English language

The aims of the project

The topic of the project is WATER IS LIFE which means it concerns one of the most important natural resources on our planet. The aim of the project is to raise and shape

pro-ecological awareness among young people as it is, according to us, a great challenge for the young all over the world nowadays. Due to broadening their

knowledge of the environment the students, we hope, will become more interested in the issues and, as a result, will lead better lives what may also influence their future

career paths. We also think that the integration of young people coming from different European countries will prepare them be better citizens of the European Union. Thus, it

can help them shape their pro-ecological thinking as well as improve their language skills. Moreover, their efficiency in communication and information technology will be

improved, too.
