At the Winter State Championship held from 9 to 11 March at the Milan Gale Muškatirović Sports Centre in Belgrade, Savremena’s student Tara Ćulibrk won as many as 9 medals – 4 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals – in the 50m, 100m and the 200m front crawl events, as well as in several relays as part of the 11th April Swimming Club.

This placement and good results ensured her participation in the Balkan Swimming Championship in Sarajevo, and in the competition between the national teams of Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia which will take place next weekend.

Tara’s achievements in numerous national and international swimming competitions have placed her among the most talented and dedicated students of International School Savremena.

Fostering talent since early age

Tara started swimming at the age of seven and since then this sport has become a big part of her life. As Tara herself said, the swimming pool feels like home to her, and swimming helps her find balance in life and improve her organisational skills. She works hard to win many prizes and medals, and her life goal is to participate in the Olympic Games. So far she has won 15 gold, 12 silver and 6 bronze medals in different swimming competitions.

We congratulate Tara and encourage her to march on.

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
