A Day in the Snow

hknasar — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 07:34:46 +0000

On Wednesday, February 16, year 4 to year 8 students spent a day on the slopes at Veitsch-Brunnalm.

Although the weather conditions were not favourable – heavy snowfall, harsh winds and poor visibility – everybody had great fun in the piles of freshly fallen powder snow. The pictures below will give you an impression of this trip.

2abc Skiing and Snowboarding at Planneralm

hknasar — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:37:09 +0000

The year two students were supposed to leave on Sunday the 15th of January to go on their ski week, but couldn’t, because of possible avalanches. Instead we stayed at school for three hours and then had to go back home. The next morning we left at 8.20, arriving at Planneralm in time for lunch. Those who were borrowing skis and other stuff went up to the shop to get it. Then everyone had lunch. In the afternoon we went skiing and snowboarding. There were three groups of snowboard beginners, one group of advanced snowboarders and three groups of skiers. The weather was really nice on Monday, but it wasn’t so nice on Tuesday. We always had an evening program. For example, our first evening was spent learning the rules for safe skiing. On Tuesday and Wednesday we went skiing and snowboarding, had lunch, went back on to the slopes, had supper and then had an evening program. On Thursday we were on the slopes again in the morning and afternoon. After dinner we had the talent show and then the disco. On Friday morning we left. We were rather late getting home, because one bus got stuck in the snow and had to be shovelled free.
Altogether we had a great time and I thought it was really fun and I learnt a lot. We would all like to thank the teachers who went with us for the great ski week.

Un Auteur Français pour la Jeunesse en Visite à GIBS

hknasar — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:14:23 +0000

Vendredi 20 janvier les élèves des 7e ont accueilli à GIBS Christophe Léon, l’auteur de Silence, on irradie, un des livres sélectionnés pour le Prix des lycéens autrichiens 2012. Ce Prix, organisé par l’Institut français de Vienne, permet aux élèves lecteurs de rencontrer les auteurs et de leur poser des questions sur leur livre.
Ainsi, après Marie-Florence Ehret, auteure de Faim de vie, présente à GIBS en décembre, Christophe Léon s’est volontiers prêté au jeu des questions-réponses avec nos élèves et des élèves du Sacré-Cœur venus aussi à la rencontre.
La personnalité de Christophe Léon et les questions pertinentes des élèves ont rendu particulièrement animé et vivant le débat entre l’auteur et ses lecteurs. Un très beau moment de ce Prix des lycéens 2012 !

Au Rendez-vous avec la Langue Arabe

hknasar — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:08:28 +0000

Dans le cours „Voyage Interculturel“ la 7a/b avait le plaisir de suivre un cours d`arabe accompagné par Monsieur Mostafa El Sarqui, issu de Casablanca/Maroc, professeur à l`université de Graz et à la Montanistik Leoben.
La langue arabe est parlée par environ 320 millions de gens dans le monde entier comme langue maternelle et par 60 millions comme langue séconde. L`arabe classique qui est une de 6 langues officielles de l´ONU- Organisation des Nations Unies -connait beaucoup de dialectes, comme l´arabe tunisien ou l`arabe marocain. On s´est régalé, on a bien profité, c`est très beau!

Servus at GIBS

hknasar — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:07:42 +0000

On Thursday, 19th January 2012 a camera crew from SERVUS TV visited GIBS. Students, who are in the course system, were interviewed about the advantages of having many class options to choose from. Our students informed the reporters that they enjoy being responsible for their learning, described to them how they can follow their own interests and that they cannot fail the courses, just to mention a few. While. the Servus TV crew were at GIBS they filmed some teaching units and visited a few elective courses.

You can watch the report filmed at GIB by clicking on the link below. The topic is called Schul-Reform – Nationalrat beschließt modulare Oberstufe.
