Handwriting competition

All students from K2 – 8m were invited to take part in a handwriting contest. The task was to write on an A4 piece of paper their names or quotes of different lengths. They could use different calligraphic handwriting, old-time initials, different alphabets and scripts and decorate it with patterns or colours. We received a number of very nice works which you can see in the ground floor of building III. As promised, we will award some which we found particularly beautiful and creative. We also found it very important that the students create the works by themselves.

All the participants of the contest are invited on the 15. 6. at 14.00 to take part in the workshop "make your own booklet", there will also be an "ice-tea party" with refreshments. The prizes will be given at the workshop.

The most beautiful works of art are:
