Invitation to a Play in English

Within the framework of the extracurricular activities organized by the English Department, a group of 2nd and 3rd-year students from Almagro campus will attend a play by The Stage Company, an English theater company, on October 25th. On this occasion, they will interpret “Frankenstein, Laugh at Your Fears”, a musical comedy for people of all ages, which is attractive to all audiences for its dramatic value, the power of the story, the human dimension of the characters, and its great music. The students will enjoy this unique theatrical experience, no matter their level of English. We invite parents to participate in this activity with their children.

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!

Lilaj Festival

On September 5th, the traditional Festival "Rikudim Lilaj", organized by the Keren Kayemet Leisrael, was carried out at ORT Belgrano Auditorium. Within the framework of a People Dance, "Am Roked", 1st and 2nd-year girl students from Almagro and Belgrano campuses represented our school. And they did it very well!!!
Once again, we feel proud of their commitment, dedication (for they rehearsed for many hours), and the joy they transmitted to us through their dance. Congratulations to all our girl students, to students from the senior high-school cycle who helped during the arrangements for the event, and especially to Ariadna Faerstein - teacher of Israeli dances (Rikudim) - who coordinated and organized the choreography, through which ORT students had such a great performance.

AMIA – Reflection activity

To commemorate the 13th anniversary of the AMIA bombing, students, teachers and 2nd-year counselors from Almagro campus gathered to recall and reflect on what happened in 1994. The participants of the activity debated and watched parts of the film “18 J”. Students showed a reflective attitude and got involved with the activity.

Meeting on “Limits, Freedom, and Consensus”

Within the framework of the Health and Prevention Program, we have organized meetings on “Limits, Freedom, and Consensus” in both campuses. Approximately, 300 parents from the junior high school attended – a figure which exceeded our expectations.

We are already organizing the next conference which will be on “Prevention of Alcohol Consumption by Adolescents”. We will send you the details soon!
