“MY HIGH SCHOOL” For 25 years, IES Galileo Galilei has helped to improve the quality of public education. This big effort has been rewarded with many prizes, like the one for “good coexistence” in 2008. The school got that prize thanks to the “mediación” group because they did some great work. It has excellent teachers who worry about students’ progress and they try to organize activities related to the lessons, such as going on excursions to the theatre, visiting museums and exhibitions... The school has many facilities: computer rooms, audio-visual rooms, a library which is opened in the afternoon for the students who want to study or do their homework there, a gym , a football and a basketball court, and we will have a volleyball court soon! We worry about the environment so we have a vegetable garden and solar panels. Our school organizes cultural activities. For example, last year we went to a technology fair where we could show our projects and designs. Students also took part in a photography contest and some of them won important prizes. We have a great variety of extracurricular activities, such as English lessons, sports, guitar lessons and acting lessons (Drama). Students travel abroad once a year if they want, we celebrate carnival, and we have a week with cultural activities in June and the last two years, we had a very big party that lasts 24 hours! All these things make this project possible. “Comenius” has encouraged us to take part in all this activities. We hope you’ll come soon to our high school. Galileo Galilei Rocks!
