SCHOOL:
The Polish Primary School is situated in the suburbs of a town called Rybnik ( south part of Poland) with 150000 inhabitants.
The school has a staff of 54 teachers and 671 children from age 6 to 12 ( all of them involved in the project).
We have pupils with both psychical, mental and also visual disabilities .The number of such students grows considerably during the past few years. We are glad that all our pupils have the opportunity to confront the level of their tolerance in reality, yet the financial condition of Polish schools does not help us to deal with the disabled students with the necessary care. It is the role of schools to open students’ minds towards the possibilities carried by knowledge of foreign languages. Our students seem to understand the need but at the same time they hardly believe they could change their lives only by being better foreign language learners and users. The disabled ones are even more pessimistic in regards their future.
The socioeconomic level of families is low due to unemployment. Due to the socioeconomic reasons it is quite difficult to expect some international exchange to take place. We have the students’ population of immigrants and they are fully integrated into the school. The number of such students grows also.
School’s participation in some international cooperation program will by no means enrich the European dimension of our extracurricular activities.
We are very much aware of the Silesia region with its customs and traditions. Meeting foreign language speakers or only reading foreigners' tales make us realize that all small regions such as ours are as important as large, rich countries, which also consist of smaller districts with their own culture and traditions. Different methods and techniques of working with young people will certainly influence their attitude towards teaching, students and language.
The school is associated with the catholic religious faith but is respectful to all creeds and ideologies. Our guiding principle is coeducation and we advocate the principle of equality.
This is a public school, supported by public funds.
