The town of Krapkowice is situated in the south – west of Poland, in Opole province, on both sides of the Odra River. The town lies at the height of 170 – 200 m above the sea level, 25 km south of Opole. It is placed at the junctions of important communication routes from Opole to Racibórz and from Nysa to Strzelce Opolskie. The administrative area of Krapkowice consists of the town of Krapkowice and 12 villages.

MENU

Krapkowice as a town traces its history back over 700 years, to 1275 when the settlement was probably given the civic rights based on Magdeburg law.

The oldest preserved document which confirms that Krapkowice was a town at the end of the 13th century comes from 1294 and was issued by Bolesław the First, the Prince of Opole.

The history of the town dates back to the 13th century, and the history of Krapkowice-the settlement even to earlier centuries. Krapkowice derives its name from the family name of a person-Chrapek who was the first to settle on the area of present Krapkowice. The name probably meant somebody who snored or had a hoars voice ( Polish: “ chrapać, chrypieć”) or maybe somebody who wanted something ( “ mieć chrapkę”- to want something very much).

Assessment, promotion, Assessment, promotion, examinationsexaminations andand

In every type of schools, students’ achievements are assessed at the end of every term (usually a school year is divided into two terms), according to the scale ranging from 6 to 1, on the basis of partial grades or the sum of points. Except pre –schools and Forms I-III of primary schools where children are awarded mainly descriptive notes, except traditional grades for religion and ethics.

The scale of grades from 6 to 1: 6 – excellent,5 – very good, 4 – good, 3 – sufficient,2 – poor but acceptable, 1 – fail.

MENU

PromotionPromotion

In every type of schools, promotion to a higher form is given on the

basis of a positive grade of achievements at every compulsory

subject, at least “2” - acceptable grade. In the case of one “fail”

grade the pupil can take an exam in this subject. There is also the

possibility of correcting two “fail” grades but the agreement of the

teachers’ council in the school is required and only in exceptional

cases. The pupil who is not promoted and has not passed the exam

has to repeat the form.

The teachers’ council may decide about conditional promotion of a

pupil who has received one “fail” grade, but only once during the

whole cycle of education in the school, except the last from.

MENU

Pupils take their first external exam at the end of the 6-year primary school it is a

competence exam. The test is national and compulsory, but is not used for selection

purposes and it does not influence on promotion.

ExaminationsExaminations

At the end of gymnasium, pupils take the next external exam (a written exam), which covers knowledge and skills in humanities, mathematics and natural science. This

examination is compulsory, though its results does not determine the pupils’ progression. However, the results obtained in the exam should guide the choice of a

further educational pathway

At the end of the education in upper secondary school (general lyceum, specialised lyceum, technical secondary school), except vocational school, pupils can take the maturity examination, which consists of written and oral parts. The maturity examination from the school year 2004/2005 will be totally external in its

written part. MENU

CertificatesCertificates

Primary school and gymnasium (lower secondary school) leavers are

awarded the certificate of completion of education in the schools. Pupils

of upper secondary schools who have passed the maturity examination

are awarded the maturity certificate, which open to them a way to higher

education. These pupils who have not passed the maturity examination or

they have not taken it at all, are given the certificate of completion of

education in the school. In the case of technical secondary school, pupils

are awarded a title of technician in a given occupation. Vocational school

leavers are given qualifications of a worker in a given occupation.

The history of our schoolIn 1966 the Polish nation celebrated 1000 years of existing

its country. In 966 the Polish nation was Christianized through the ceremony of baptism of Polish prince Mieszko the First. In connection with preparations to this celebration an action “1000 schools for Millenium of Poland” was held. Within this action many new schools were built in Poland, including ours. They were called “Statues of Millenium”. Our school was built during one year. On 26th July 1960 the charter of foundation was laid and on 3rd September 1961 there was the solemn opening of the school. The school was given the name of Powstańcy Śląscy (the Silesian Insurgents), in memory of the heroes of three uprisings, which took place in Silesia in 1919, 1920 and 1921. The image of the Monument of Silesian Insurgents in our hall, opposite the entrance of the school recalls about the patrons. It is based on a monument from Góra Św.Anny made by a famous Polish sculptor Ksawery Dunikowski. MENU

In the school year 1999/2000 our school became Zespół Szkół nr 2 including the Primary School and the Lower-Secondary School.

The vision of Publiczne Gimnazjum nr 2 in

Krapkowice

• The imperative aim of the educational work of the school is the broad development of students’ personalities and preparing them to a creative, self – reliant life in the constantly changing, pluralistic society. The main school task will be giving to students a coherent vision and better preparation to the participation in adult life through departure from encyclopaedic education and stressing the achievements of competencies.

• The knowledge passed on students should be comprehensible and possible to integrate with students’ experiences of everyday life.

• Each student should understand his/her place in the world which, in spite of scientific development, is not cognizable completely. This understanding should give a sense of safety.

• The basic conditions, which make possible to achieve intended aims, are : a creative atmosphere, which supports the development of the school, and close, based on mutual trust, relationships students – teachers.

• The development of teachers’ group work is a key task, which leads to achieving the coherence of the school work and unity of influence and demands. All teachers are equally responsible for effects of the school work.

• In raising the quality of the school work there are anticipated: the development of interschool teacher training system, work in subject groups, self-education and teachers’ increasing participation in various courses, workshops and seminars.

• The school creates for students proper conditions for achieving knowledge, skills and good habits i.e. developing competencies in the following ranges: learning, thinking, searching, acting, improving themselves, communicating, cooperating.
