26 Oct Concert, final football and reunion day

Dear reader!

It has been a week with a strong focus on academics, and all students have received their first standpoint grades, and we have completed the first profile period with evaluation. On Tuesday we had a concert by Dancer with Dirt and they emptied the ballroom of chairs and filled it dancing happy young people. Thursday the girls took a great 2nd place in the finals of the North Jutland Championships. On Friday, the majority of the students went to their first student party with the theme white sensations. According to rumours, it went really well.

CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS - SO!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thursday afternoon the girls' team won the second place in the fight for the North Jutland championship in football. In an evenly matched final, where there was a fight to the last whistle and the Ranum girls once again showed great courage and will to win, we unfortunately had to see us defeated by the girl team from HCI, who on a rainy and muddy field was awarded a lucky penalty kick, which gave them the victory ... Despite a myriad of melees, sprints, fine crosses and a handful of corner kicks towards the end of the match, we did not manage to get the ball in the box, and we therefore had to settle for 2nd place. BUT PYT, - there is now enough to be happy about! It has been two fantastic and eventful days in Thisted, where many smiles have been generated, 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat - and then we have managed to concede only two goals in six matches! Well done, girls!

Pedagogically, it has been a super nice week, with lots of excitement and energy up to the student party, Friday. However, the week started a little difficult for 9 students, who were on a night out, and it gave a bit of a pedagogical pick-me-up. We build our pedagogy on trust and occasional control, and that had just been forgotten over the holidays and travel week.

On Saturday, the whole school was once again filled with over 570 former pupils for a really nice reunion day. We sang the Tree of Life and Gi´os the Light Back, so the banquet hall shook and all afternoon the house was buzzing with life everywhere. In the evening, the students from the last 3 grades went to a joint RE-union party and filled Haverslev hall again for the second day in a row.

In the coming week there will be a regular timetable, and then the new cultural subjects will start. It will be exciting to clarify the interests and goals of the respective cultural subject teams. Over the next few days, we will form a joint programme that prepares students and teachers for the big cultural subjects expedition in January. On Monday there is a concert with Keep Camping, Friday there are voluntary parent/school conversations about the academic position, and then there is a sibling weekend with Halloween and Disney themes. The registration is sent out per school plan.

We look forward to seeing all students back after a well-deserved weekend, and preferably for winter time - remember now!

Best regards and have a great Sunday!
