IN OUR SCHOOL...

Berchmans School is a place where capacities, talents and likes can be expressed with no exceptions, but no only talents, also is a place where you can find events that invite you to learn new things and to have tips to have an easier school development or to act to better. It is important to know that in many cases, the school has not a common interest. Having into account this, is important to know that like an additional aspect, each region develop activities, corresponding to their capacities, and the place they are.

 In Berchmans preschool there are some punctual interest, during the school year they develop activities like; Halloween, San Valentine’s Day, Berchmans Week, English Day, The kids day and some other activities, they have aprocess of bilingualism, in their journals, they have teachers that make activities, to prepare the children to be a fine Berchmans in future but always helping those children to amplify the knowledge to be prepared and to act to better in their futures.

In our school primary, they always do their activities, knowing that be a Berchmans is to “be more to better serve”, following the life example of San Juan Berchmans, that’s how they make their academic,, spiritual, sporting, artistic, recreational and cultural activities, they have some campaigns, to save the nature of the school, referring to animals, and flowers, also to reduce, reuse and recycle.

As a final aspect, we know that Berchmans high school is English immersion, college fair, flag- raising, pastoral, artistic rock, Tuesdays of family, pre- ICFES, Berchmans week, Eucharist, pedagogical outputs.

But any Berchmans know that school is a place where we built our personality and our future day by day, is a place where we enter to learn and go out to serve, it is where our friendship grows up and our second home

SPECIAL WEEK

The Berchmans week is a big event and one of the most important activities that the school make for the students, parents, teachers, and generally to all the school community, we enjoy it to much, and all the year we wait for it, all the teachers enjoy it to because they are part of the groups, and parents also like to look their songs making different activities. The ones to win the Berchmans week feels to much proud of the work, effort and dedication put in this event; the 11 grade’s student feels more proud because is his final week, but they also work as a club, not only 11 grade.

Four days of creativity, and a lot of energy, putting by the Berchmans students, in the artistic, sporting and academic activities development. Like all the activities in school is a week where every students can show their talents, they can dance, sing, play any sport, paint, and show their knowledge, everything to represent a group.

In this activity, we apply many values, like the group work, the fellowship, the respect, honesty, leadership and some others, the think is that this event in not only to have a great time or to fail classes, is an event that helps the school community to learn about the topic of the year, and to integrate and to find people with your same interests.

In primary and high school, the Berchmans week is a little similar, but in the preschool they make activities according to their age and their knowledge.

ART ACTIVITIES

In the art classes can work with different materials for example in painting classes we are working  during this  period using different materials , that we have to buy, we are working in an interesting thing, we are related the arte whit some cultural aspects of  different cultures  in the world. The kind of music that the students work during the two first periods it has the same objective; they worked whit different regions like and some Colombian music. In theater class the students are preparing preparing a play using different components. Finally in the dance classes they are working in a most freeway, doing choreographies with the music they like the most, dividing in little groups. The result of this art activities are demonstrated in different events that the school prepares to show the school community the talents that the students have, this activities calls many people. Like parents, old students and the students in the school, it acts also like an invitation to the Berchmans students to start to practice those activities, not only in their classes, also after the school day. In our school we have a  fortress, referring to the art classrooms that are in perfect conditions, and referring too to the teachers that are people in the capacity of teach us they are studied people and they always help us to understand what they explain in classes.

I think that these activities are important in our school because they help students to have a art side and can express their feelings.
