Eventful open day at the Waidhofen high school

Last weekend, the Waidhofen grammar school opened its doors for interested parties. During the open day, the high school students had the task of taking their younger colleagues through the school's premises and giving an insight into the diverse training offer.

Director Alexander Frank emphasized the wide range of training opportunities that the high school offers its students. "We offer a large variety of training from sporty, creative to scientific," he said. According to Frank, the children can set individual priorities based on their personal talents. It is important to pick up the students where they stand in order to be able to specifically promote their skills in the course of the school years. In this context, he also mentioned the excellent infrastructure of the school, which offers numerous opportunities to develop the students. Around 430 students currently visit the high school, which covers a catchment area of around 30 kilometers.

insights into school life

The open house day offered visitors an excellent opportunity to experience school life up close. The students led their younger guests through various classrooms and facilities that brought visitors closer to the variety of learning and leisure opportunities. The creative subjects were not neglected, and the pupils' artistic work were proudly shown.

For many elementary school students, this was an exciting opportunity to learn more about the type of learning at a high school and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the high school. Such events help to reduce the inhibition threshold and enable children to gain a personal impression of school before making a decision on their school career.

The teachers and students of the Waidhofen high school were available to visitors during the event. "We want the children to know what to expect and that they feel in good hands right from the start," said Frank. The commitment of the older students as a guide also shows how important community and support in the education system are, which can be particularly advantageous for new students.
