Κατηγορία: Extra Curricular Activities

Within the framework of the Religious Education subject, two groups of the A class visited the Church of Taxiarches in Moschato, in order to be acquainted with the architecture and the religious wall painting of an Orthodox Church in an experiential way.

After the guided tour by the Religious Education teacher of our school Mr. Sotirios Kollias, the priest in charge of the church, father Christodoulos Bithas, talked to our students about the history of Taxiarches Church, the establishment of the Church institution and showed them the mass vessels, explaining their use. Then a constructive discussion followed during which the priest answered all the students’ questions, focusing mainly on Christ’s love. After the end of the visit, the hospitable people of the church offered a treat to our students.

The accompanying teachers were Sotirios Kollias, Evangelia Karimali and Sotirios Tsalamandris. We deeply thank both the priest and the people working in the church for the love and the hospitality they showed to our students.

The aim of this visit was their acquaintance with the Greek education system, the attendance of English Language and Citizenship lessons, the use of English as a common language of communication, as well as the discussion and realization of common activities for the acquaintance of the students and the exchange of opinions regarding the ways for the youth to deal with the current social issues and their approach of European Union’s role.

On Thursday 15 February the B’ class students that participate in the Journalism Action visited the Hellenic Parliament, where they had the chance to get a glimpse of the discussion and vοting of bills. More specifically, they sat in the balcony of the plenary room and attended part of the procedure of the parliamentary control.  In this procedure, a Parliament member of the opposition party posed a question to the Minister in charge regarding an issue that concerned the area where this Parliament member is elected and then the Minister answered the question. The students found the process very interesting and experienced the way in which decisions are made during the parliamentary procedure.

Then they were guided in “Eleftherios Venizelos” room, where it is hosted the exhibition entitled “Seeing Liberty: In the Hellenic Parliament two centuries later”. They saw important artworks and exhibits form the Revolution period and were informed about the history of the Parliament building. The guided tour was realized by Ms. Eleni Laskari, a member of the academic staff of the Foundation of the Hellenic Parliament, whom we thank very much.
