Pupils will be issued with a certificate of study on the first day of school, i.e. 1. 9. 2025.

  • Educational advisor for 1st, 2nd grades and gifted pupils - Mgr. Alena Fedorová,

Every year the school offers a wide range of clubs focused on engineering, electrical engineering, foreign languages, etc. Their current list is always during September of the new school year on the school website in the section Leisure activities and on the school bulletin board in the school building.

In order to improve efficiency and reduce administration, a school cash desk has been set up for pupils at our school. Each pupil has his/her own account where parents can keep track of the movements and where they can transfer money without cash if necessary. It is also possible to deposit cash into the account at the ČSOB counters (no fee). All payments will be deducted from the pupils' "account". In this way we will deal with such things as charges for textbooks ordered, credit for photocopying or ISIC card renewals. Similarly, various school events (excursions, cultural performances or sports courses and other payments) will be paid for.

 

We ask Parents of pupils of 1st yearin order to have registered on the website of the School Programme, which operates the online checkout. After successful registration and confirmation by the class teacher, please deposit the amount 350 CZK to the online school cash desk, no later than the date 26. 6. 2025 (to account no. 294180851/0300, identify the payment as follows: VS: phone number of the registering legal representative, SS: 60075970, text: pupil's name). This amount is intended for the purchase of ISIC cards for new pupils.

You can read more in Instructions.

Another amount 3000 CZK send it no later than the date 25. 8. 2025. This amount will be used to pay for the adaptation activities that will take place in September, to purchase new textbooks and to provide credit for photocopying.

Pupils who were already using the school cash register system in primary school, the pages of the school program again with do not register. In the SP tab, fill in ID - i.e. our school ID number 60075970 a child's name. They then send it to the class teacher for approval. After approval by the class teacher, parents can send money to the school cash account. Just BEWARE, the TREASURY tab will then be set up with 2 schools, the original school and our school, you need to check which school you are sending the money to.

We ask all users of the online checkout to check regularly that each student's account always has at least 300 CZK.

All our students will receive their own overalls with the school logo (and in the case of the electrical trades, the logo of our partner company ČEZ, a. s.).

Fitting size testing (jacket + trousers) will take place on two dates:
23. 6. 2025 from 13:00 to 15:15
25. 6. 2025 from 13:00 to 15:15

Guys the overalls will be tested in the classroom č. 104, girls in cabinet no. 105 (both rooms are next to the main entrance on the ground floor). As many sizes as possible will be provided for trying on. A bulk order will then be placed.

The school pays for the overalls of the first year pupils. If the pupils outgrow them (or lose or damage them) during their studies, they pay for new overalls themselves. Pupils who are unable to attend fittings on any of the dates will be referred to the manufacturer's website to select their size according to the size chart.
