Our Traditions in pictures Advent, Santa Claus, Christmas are celebrated within classes, we usually have Christmas party in the school, when we get our presents from our friends and clasmates. After that we have usually a two-week long winter holiday.

To popularise our school we have Open doors and Family day, when primary school students or children from kindergarden with their parentscome to our school, visit lessons, play games, have the opportunity to feel the atmosphere.

On Luca-day the school- corridors become a market place. The classes prepare with small gadgets, cookies and drinks for sale.

Burning of ‘kiszebáb’ which is a puppet with magic

power. It chases away the winter. We prepare a straw- puppet and set a fire on the school yard. We use tools and instruments: rattles, whistles, drums, and noise making objects. It usually works.

Telepy-day and the traditional Sport day mean sport or other intellectual competitions for classes and we spend our school-day on completing different tasks.

Being healthy or being and acting as environmentally-conscious

students are also important for us. In our classes we have containers for paper, plastic or can, so we can collect waste seperately. We also have paper-collecting competition twice a year.

Dancing, drawing, music

Telepy is specialised in Sport. In the primary section children have at least 3 or 5 P.E lessons a week. So sport is more important than in any other schools As it encourages us to experience many roles for responsibility. We are identified as part of a team and encouraged to develop team work, delegation, support and mentoring.
