Conferences with pupil‘s participation at IGS Bad Salzdetfurth

Introduction:

We looked at the attendance lists of different types of commitee meetings at our school. The focus was on the commitees “Schulvorstand“ (chairmen), “conferences of subjects“ and “faculty meeting“ (“Gesamtkonferenz“) during the school years 2018/2019 and the first term of the school year 2019/2020.

Results:

1) We found out that ~47 percent of the elected pupils attend the “Schulvorstand“ meetings.

2) Furthermore, we found out that ~25% percent of the elected pupils attend the faculty meetings.

3) We also checked the different conferences of the subjects, for example, foreign languages, German, arts and economy. There is a big difference when we compared the single subjects, for example, there are more pupils that attend art conferences than foreign languages conferences.

Summary of student`s activities 2019/2020 at IGS Bad Salzdetfurth, Germany

1) “Tolarance festival“ at a comprehensive school in Hildesheim (30th of August 2019)

Pupils from year 9, 10 and 11 offered a workshop about our long term project “school without racism, school with courage“.

They also visited other student`s workshops about tolarance, discrimination and acceptance.

2) The 11th grade is fighting against a change of the time table due to Covid 19

The students are trying to convince our headmaster, that changing the timetable shouldn`t affect

the 11th grade because less than 20 of them are using the busses, to reduce the number of people in the busses.

3) Class project about issues at school

In December 2019 one English E-course year 10 had a unit about “What problems do we have at school and how can we solve the problems?“

The course created posters about some issues, for example, the implementation of iPads, modernisation of the old D building, or keeping the toilets clean.

4) UNICEF run

A teacher along with his students organised a UNICEF run to raise donations for a charity and our school.
