Great success for the Mooskirchen middle school at the Penguin Cup!

water fun and creative development go hand in hand in the Mooskirchen middle school. The students of 2B organized an impressive “English Night” in spring, which not only promoted the fun of the language, but also strengthened the sense of community. During this evening, the participants were able to test their English skills in a playful way through language-based games, puzzles and an escape room. And as if that weren't enough, delicious burgers were also prepared and eaten together.

In the context of this cultural event, such programs as the "English Night", cannot play a significant role in school education. They not only promote the creativity of the students, but also contribute to improving the school atmosphere. A study emphasizes that cultural education arouses the talents of the students and strengthens their social development, which is particularly expressed in the school environment. It is important that schools continue to receive support for such projects, as well as [teacher side] (https://www.lehrersite.com/foerderung-kulture- event-an-schulen/).

penguin cup: great success for Mooskirchen

Another highlight was the participation in the penguin cup, which took place in the Therme Nova in Köflach. Here two seasons of the middle school competed against 26 other teams from the Voitsberg district. The school team was able to bravely assert themselves and won the 5th place, while the other team won the coveted penguin cup and thus achieved the district victory. This not only underlines the swimming skills of the students, but also the community spirit and team cohesion, which is promoted in such competitions.

The competition is evaluated not only after the fastest time, but also after the proximity to the calculated average time, which makes it particularly exciting. In the individual ratings, some students were also able to take home medals, which further rewarded the performance of the Mooskirchner. Director Ingrid Meeraus praised the students for their excellent performance and particularly thanked the parents' association for the assumption of the bus costs. Therme Amadé emphasizes that around 300 pupils took part in the competition and this conveyed the swimming skills in a playful way.

Cultural and sporty events like this are crucial for the development of young people and promote holistic education. In times when social coexistence is increasingly in demand, the Mooskirchen middle school shows that it has a good hand, both in the promotion of linguistic and sporty talents. In this way, school life becomes more alive and the students are well equipped for future challenges.
