14 Jun Ranum Derby, bonfire cosiness & Efterskolelife
Dear reader,
The competitive spirit can be felt everywhere among the students at Ranum Efterskole College. We've just organised our traditional Ranum Derby, where there was laughter, betting and racing. When the competitive spirit is packed away, we create space between exams and let the cosiness spread through good conversations and bodies in motion. We've had a quiet week that was savoured to the fullest, which you can read much more about in the newsletter here!
NOTE: Registration deadline is already 15 June 2024!
Have a great weekend. We wish you all a great weekend!
Ranum Derby
On Friday morning we held our traditional Ranum Derby. The students were able to bet on the horses with real Ranum Dollars, with the opportunity to spend the winnings on noodles for the rest of the year. It doesn't get much better than that! The students raced and played polo with the students against the teachers.
Air between exams
When there are no exams on the timetable, students enjoy their free time in many different ways. For example, a large group of students have enjoyed nature on the backs of the beautiful Icelandic horses.
Other students have been out on the water trying out their wakeboarding skills!
And our Adventure/outdoor students cook food and marshmallows over the fire!
The jewellery workshop
Students try out new techniques in our jewellery workshop: weaving bracelets on a loom. Many beautiful and creative creations were produced!
Headmaster's column
Dear reader,
The oral exams, preparations and activities create a new everyday life for students. Of course, they have to prepare for their presentations, but in between exams they can also choose from a wide range of activities that they themselves have helped to suggest and shape. The choice is for one week at a time, and allows for extra time to cultivate friendships and discover new ones during the last part of the 1TP5 year. The week also included a visit from our American friendship school The Harvey School, who worked with our USA science students on topics such as underwater drones, the aquatic environment, film production and Danish culture. The Harvey School was only able to visit us this week, and luckily we managed to make it work with the students' exams. It creates a very positive energy to work with such dedicated young people, and we are honoured that they will travel so far to visit Ranum, which they praise to the skies because they also get more freedom here than at home.
In the coming week there are still activities and rehearsals. In between, students and staff will be preparing for the 20th anniversary celebrations on Saturday 22 June. During the day, students will be helping with activities, tours, a welcome assembly and then they'll be off to their own final student party, where there will be a communal meal, disco and a concert with the theme Summer Vibes. We expect around 1,500 guests for the big anniversary gathering and around 250 for the festive dinner in the evening. We have invited current and former employees, as well as school district members, board members and former students. We are very much looking forward to the day and hope for good weather, but we also have a few butterflies in our stomachs, as this is the first time we are celebrating our 20th anniversary.
Have a great weekend,
Olav Storm Johannsen
