23 May Adventure in the air, play on the ground and a fond farewell to teaching
Dear all
A week full of action and adventure has just come to an end at Ranum Efterskole! From jumping out of the aeroplane at Vesthimmerland Airfield, to fun and games at the last day of school and visits from the municipality's happy 2nd classes.
Happy reading!
Above the clouds with Ranum Efterskole
On Saturday, a group of brave students took to the blue skies for a skydive adventure. The weather was at its very best with bright sunshine and clear visibility, making the experience unforgettable. The atmosphere was great and everyone came back with big smiles!
A day in the life of a child
The school was buzzing with life when we had a visit from several of the municipality's 2nd graders for "Around the World with Ranum". Our students had prepared exciting stations with activities from all over the world and guided the younger guests with great commitment. It created a cosy and meaningful day where relationships and community across ages really blossomed.

Diving instructors of the future emerge from Ranum
This week we have been visited by a dedicated group of divers who have embarked on the demanding training programme to become diving instructors - a process that requires both professional knowledge, practical skills and the ability to teach others underwater. Several of the course participants are teachers at Ranum Efterskole College.
Classes end - the community continues
On Friday we celebrated the last day of school in style! The schoolyard was buzzing with life, with students engaging in everything from mechanical bulls and tug-of-war to creative activities and treats. It was a day filled with laughter, camaraderie and the feeling that something special is coming to an end - but thankfully, the school year is far from over and there are still many fun and memorable experiences ahead.

Profile field trips
Next week, the last profile course trip of the year will take place from Monday to Wednesday - just before the Ascension holiday. The students are looking forward to travelling one last time with their profile subjects, where community, experiences and new memories are in focus. It will be a perfect way to round off the year's many exciting trips.
Headmaster's column
Dear reader,
Today is the last day of school - a week later than in primary school because we travel the world more weeks than other schools.
The last day of school marks the end of academic classes, and over the next three weeks, we have thousands of oral exams.
Of course, in addition to the many oral exams, students have time to prepare in common areas and classrooms where they can also get support from teachers.
If the student has no preparation or test, 5-10 different activities are offered every day, and there are plenty of opportunities to request and participate in activities - both day and evening during the period.
In the coming week, we have mini-expeditions until Wednesday, when students can go home for the Ascension holiday.
The following week we warm up for the big Gala, where students dance the lanciers in their family groups, but also have the opportunity to eat and socialise with their invited Gala partner.
We wish everyone a great weekend and look forward to welcoming the students back on Sunday after 18:00.
We sincerely hope that both students and parents involved in Aalborg Carnival have a safe and enjoyable party.
Have a great weekend!
Olav Storm Johannsen, Principal
