At the city competition held the following day, Thursday, 11 May, Katarina came 5th in the long jump, and Petar Stanković and Andrej Mojsejev were ranked among the top 10 in their disciplines. Thanks to the preparations and great support from their PE teacher Stefan Radojičić, the students managed to find themselves among the top young athletes in Serbia.

We will be following the upcoming competitions and their performances with a watchful eye, rooting for equally good results. We congratulate Savremena’s athletes and their teacher. We are certain that these accomplishments are only the first step in a series of upcoming victories.

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
