This year the World Scholar’s Cup regional tournament will take place in two places: Day 1 – Trebnje; Day 2 – Ljubljana. The application fee is 40€ and transport costs of approximately 3€ are expected. We will probably take the train to Trebnje but, based on last year’s experience, we would kindly ask you to consider picking the students up in Trebnje after the event. The students will be asked to arrive at Festivalna dvorana in Ljubljana on the second day of their own accord. The application fee includes registration, materials and one meal per day. The students are advised to bring their own snacks as well. As this is an extracurricular activity, the school, unfortunately, does not cover the expenses. We would kindly ask you to inform us whether you agree to your child participating at the event by 28 February 2025.

From 20 – 24 January we will pay special attention to handwriting and the role it plays in the learning and writing process. It has been scientifically proven that handwriting, especially joined-ip or cursive writing, has positive long term effects on fine motor skills and cognition; therefore, many education systems are bringing it back to class (e.g. the USA) or keeping paper text books (Sweden).

This year's topic is interesting – the connection of our most primal sense –smell – to memories and relationships. We all remember how the wet gloves or grandmother's cookies smelt or the smell of a summer afternoon before a storm or even the newly purchased books for the school year. Each of these memories can become a story of its own and a pen and paper naturally lend themselves to the story writing process. You are, therefore, warmly invited to write down a memory of your own. Parents, teachers and students -  share with us a handwritten memory or two.

We are collecting handwritten works until 7 February.
