Dear reader,
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend, more than 30 students parachuted over Himmerland. On the ground, a large group of students picked strawberries for the entire student body, and spoiled the many who have been working hard to prepare for the oral exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the water the Ranum boat came first around Mors. In the evening we danced lancers and had a good time around the fire and wrote memory books. There is too little time left and yet so much to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we are entering the last week of this afterschool year and it is almost unbearable to think that when I have become we<\/em>,<\/strong> then we shall spread to the winds - all over the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mors Round Race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend, a team of former sailing students borrowed Ranum Efterskole College's large Matcher 37 sailboat and participated in the Mors Rundt race.
The team crossed the finish line first after 10 \u00bd hours of intense sailing, including in front of an X50. The team was sailing out of competition, so it was great to be the first boat to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New chairs and tables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, we got over 300 new office chairs in the classrooms, so students can sit comfortably and healthily for years to come. After a student-teacher democratic process, we chose a chair with a PUR seat and back. It is a flexible material that is also perceived as soft and friendly, and less cold than the plastic chairs. There is a 10 year guarantee, so we hope to enjoy the chairs for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Lanciers REC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, students have been practicing lancets in the main hall. They have fought bravely with their positions, stepped over their own toes and those of others, and bowed and scraped. And after a few rehearsals, it looks set to be a great show next Friday at the Gallafesten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity day on the field obstacle course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There have been a lot of activities this week for students who have either finished their oral exams or need some fresh energy and distraction in between exams. 
A number of students took up the challenge and took to the military obstacle course in a fierce internal competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust citizen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday we held another course on becoming a Robust Citizen. The course is organised by the Swedish Emergency Management Agency and is free for students. The immediate benefit of becoming a Robust Citizen is that students learn how to prevent accidents, prepare for external events (e.g. weather) and generally know more about how to help themselves and their loved ones in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
