CLÍNICAS DEL SABER -An Invitation to Keep On Learning

Since the second term of this school year has finished, and as a reward for the students’ effort, dedication and commitment to the own learning experience, the School has been carrying out -for some years now- a program which interests students, teachers and parents. “Clínicas del Saber” targets 2nd-year students with the aim of strengthening their attitude to the worth of knowledge, increasing their motivation towards study and work, stimulating creativity and their desire to learn, and giving them a reward for their effort and dedication towards schoolwork.

When we talk about good results, not only are we referring to the students who get the best qualifications, but also to those who have improved their performance in a significant way during the first two terms of the year.

The activities are interesting and amusing. All the “Clínicas” last two days, and they take place out of the school. This year, many projects will be developed by the Natural Sciences and Technological Education Counseling Areas, their teaching teams, and the Students’ Counseling Area. As part of the 2007 technological activities of the “Clínicas del Saber”, students will visit the go-kart track, where they will be able to participate in go-kart races; but not in ordinary races: they will learn (among other things) what telemetry is, and how and with what equipment the pilots’ and vehicles’ performance data is registered. There is much more, but we’ll keep it as a surprise…!!! The Natural Sciences Area has organized two days at a field… with "flavor to sweet things". The activities will be carried out in San Pedro and Baradero, with the aim of elaborating and transforming materials, and having a first approach to large prehistoric mammals. For the students who were selected, these activities are among the best of the year.

All of us who help develop ORT day by day are happy to know that the effort contributes to expanding our students’ areas of interest, and that students can consider learning a pleasant activity. We congratulate all these outstanding students!
