19 May Print festival, 2nd day and Reception for Jens Olfert

Dear reader,

An eventful week at Ranum Efterskole College has passed. We have been visited by a group of talented people from Turkey, had our portraits and contact group photos taken for the blue book and, not least, attended the Aftryk music festival.

Turkish guests

From Sunday to Monday, 5 students and 2 teachers from an international school in Izmir, Turkey visited us. The visit is part of a UNESCO programme and is associated with some of our students who had chosen Oman, UNESCO, as their cultural subject. During their visit to Denmark, they visited Skagen, where they saw the branch and the bunker.

2nd class day

Wednesday was a fantastic day with smiles, laughter, challenges and great entries at an O-Race at Ranum Efterskole. The O-Run took the 2nd graders around the world, with history from each country's post and a fun warm-up with dancing from all 7 continents of the world. A great day for both our own students and the 2. We are already looking forward to next time.

Pictures for Blue Book

Thursday and Friday were dedicated to the photographer. On Thursday, all the pupils at the school had their portraits taken for the Blue Book. It was fun to see how the students have already changed a lot in less than a year. Friday was spent taking contact group photos, which will also be used for the Blue Book. It was a great activity, with many original costumes.

Imprint Festival

420 excited students boarded 8 well-filled buses and went on a road-trip to Bælum, where this year's Aftryk Festival was once again taking place. A handful of our students wrote their own music and lyrics in Tuesday classes, which were performed at Aftryk. Here, the cotumen is also that everyone who performs, performs their own originals. It all went down when Semimob from e-music was on stage with a super show and rap that greased the ear canals. A great day, with happy and now a bit tired students.

New students' day at the weekend

On Sunday, the new team of pupils will come in for an eventful day where they will be presented with profile subjects, try on school clothes and merchandise, hold talks with the contact teacher, etc. The pupils will also get to experience their contact group for the first time and parents will be briefed on pedagogy, school home cooperation, finances and the parents' council. We look forward to welcoming the newcomers and wish them the best start in August.

Reception for Jens Olfert

Jens Olfert Andreasen resigns as chairman of the Ranum Efterskole College board at the school's general assembly. Olfert has been chairman of Ranum Efterskole College for 12 years and has been strongly committed to the school's fantastic development. Olfert has actively participated in a number of cultural trips to Nepal, Peru, China, Oman and most recently the West Indies. Olfert has, if any president in the afterschool world, been responsible for building an open and international afterschool with the utmost freedom and trust in the management and staff. On Monday we will hold a farewell reception for Olfert.

We wish you a great weekend 🙂
