Football, Passion and Identity

Alejandro Apo was the first guest-speaker of a series of conferences, and inaugurated the Football Corner at the library. Within the framework of the project “Football, Passion and Identity”, carried out by the teachers Juan Pablo Todaro and Martín Legizamón from the Social Sciences area, the well-known sports journalist Alejandro Apo was invited by ORT Belgrano campus to initiate the series of conferences.

Alejandro Apo developed his idea of football as a vehicle of ideas and identity. He also answered very enthusiastically the questions that students made in relation to his profession, the current violence in football, and the crisis that some national clubs are undergoing. Apart from that, he narrated a story on football, and inaugurated the Football Corner at the Belgrano library and the blog of the project.

Swimming Tournament – Belgrano Campus

On September 5th, the swimming team of our school, Belgrano campus, will participate in this year’s third competition organized by the School Swimming League.

We would like to highlight the effort and the higher standards achieved by our students.

Evita Tournament

The basketball and football teams of ORT Argentina are participating in the Evita Tournament and compete against other teams that represent schools and clubs.

Our school has already classified for the second round in the U-14 and U-16 categories. The teams are coordinated by Prof. Adrián Curutchet.

This Saturday, the basketball team will be playing at the “17 de agosto” club against Canavesi at 10am.

Coca Cola Cup

The football team -coordinated by Prof. M. Bolatti, Eduardo Hernández and the coach Pedro Larraquy- has participated in the Coca Cola Cup, which took place at Independiente Club, in Wilde. This tournament gathers the most important schools from the City of Buenos Aires and the Great Buenos Aires.

We congratulate the students who took part in this competition!

Sporting Activities for 2nd year – Almagro Campus

The students’ coordinators and counselors organized sporting and recreational activities for all the 2nd-year students at the Sports Club. The aim was to promote the integration of the students, especially of those who have just started at the school.

On the other hand, a group of coaches and first-rate volleyball players (who compete at national level) visited the school, and shared games and recreational activities with 2nd-year students. This activity, just like the football school project coordinated by Pedro Larraqui, has an important cultural and educational value, both for teachers and students.

Those who participated in this experience felt motivated by the comments and indications they received from these top-level sportsmen and coaches, and they also felt happy for the time they spent together.
