Presenting Union of Secondary School Students of Serbia at Savremena

On Friday, 28 April, a presentation of the Union of Secondary School Students of Serbia (UNSS) was held in the classrooms of Savremena International School, so as to introduce Savremena’s students to the union’s ideas, the possibilities the students have and enable them to discover new ways to exercise their rights.

Creating a school to the students’ liking

The Union of Secondary School Students of Serbia was formed in 2003 with the aim of creating an organisation which would represent and act on behalf of secondary school students on the national and European level. Several students from Belgrade managed to carry out their vision to unite secondary school students in fighting for their rights.

The idea behind UNSS is to give secondary school students the chance to become informed, educated and well-established, developing themselves in various fields by collaborating with their peers and participating in different projects.

According to the founders, the priority of the Union of Secondary School Students of Serbia is developing and strengthening the network of students’ parliaments in Serbia, which is why it is important to get all students involved.

Savremena’s students are familiar with the idea of creating a school where the students are equal participants, rather than mere recipients of knowledge, as the same concept is cherished at their school.

Useful lectures for Savremena’s students

Although Savremena’s students contribute to the improvement of lesson quality on a daily basis, they are enabled to hear and see a lot more than what constitutes the learning process. Lectures such as this one open new doors and introduce the students to a rich world of opportunities made possible by being well-informed.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
Contemporary in any sense of the word, our school offers functional knowledge and quality preparation for tertiary education in Serbia and abroad. Implementing modern and creative teaching in the classroom, where the teachers’ pedagogy and students’ performance are aligned with the highest academic standards for the high-school finals, our school develops linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, cultural, technical and ICT competence, which is a prerequisite for further education and professional development. Teaching is supported by the interactive whiteboards and educational software, whereas practice exercises research and critical thinking.
