Construction technology graduates celebrate graduation ball: Tatort construction site thrilled!

Last night the Burgenlandhalle Oberwart shone in the splendor of the Matura ball of the construction technology department of the HTL Pinkafeld. Under the motto “Crime Scene: Construction Site – A Suspicious Exit,” 58 graduates celebrated their graduation, leaving an exciting era behind them. HTL director Wilfried Lercher organized the official opening of the ball and welcomed the numerous guests.

The festive atmosphere was introduced with a rehearsed polonaise choreographed by Carina Schuch. The band Skylight provided musical entertainment and got guests on the dance floor. The delicacies of the evening included delicious pastries, a champagne bar and an exciting midnight performance, which skilfully rounded off the celebrations.

Guests of honor and awards

The presence of numerous guests of honor was particularly pleasing, including state parliament member Doris Prohaska, mayor Kurt Maczek, deputy mayor Carina Laschober-Luif and deputy mayor Adrian Kubat. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of Katja Jesch as ball queen and David Fuchs as ball king, which was celebrated with loud applause and joy.

The HTL Pinkafeld is known for its committed students who prove themselves not only in theory, but also in practical projects. This year's Matura Ball marks the start of a series of other celebrations in the region. Upcoming Matura balls in Oberwart have already been scheduled, including the BHAK/BHAS Stegersbach on October 18th and the Wimmer Gymnasium Oberschützen on October 25th, 2025.

According to a recent study, one in three children at risk of poverty still lives in material poverty twenty years later. However, early childhood education can help to mitigate these unfavorable circumstances and have a positive influence on the educational path. Austria currently invests 0.7% of GDP in early childhood education, compared to 1.3% in Denmark and even 2% in Norway. This shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement to promote equal opportunities and improve the quality of education. Momentum Institute reports that…
