Dear reader,
<\/strong><\/span>After a pleasant reunion with family and friends during the first long weekend, the students returned to Ranum with renewed energy on Sunday evening. The week has included an encounter with a new culture, some extra exercise in addition to the daily morning walk, and an early farewell to our AFS students. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motional races
<\/strong>The time is approaching Vilsted lake race and therefore we had on Tuesday a small exercise race of 3.5 km. The students got out their running shoes and completed the course in some impressive times. At the finish line, Olav was ready to greet the students with smiles and high fives.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're sitting at home and want to race with our students, here's your chance at the Vilsted lake race. The start will be from our beautiful afterschool, where we hope to see a lot of students, teachers, parents and siblings for a run around Vilsted lake.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit from Hong Kong
<\/strong>This week we were also visited by Simone from Hong Kong, who will be here for seven weeks. Simone is here as a volunteer, which means she will be doing various activities with the students. All the way from Hong Kong, she has imported exciting culinary ingredients that she hopes the students will help turn into delicious dishes inspired by Simone's home country. On Wednesday, Simone gave a small introduction of herself to the daily community gathering. In beautiful English, she started off with \"Hi. It's nice to meet you!\", which was followed by an exciting introduction in English. We have to take our hats off for that.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging the gap: a peek into the future 
<\/strong><\/span>Even though the school year has just started and life as an afterschool student has only just begun, this week we were going to talk about the possibilities after a year at Ranum Efterskole College. The 10th graders were introduced to bridge building, which is a mandatory part of this school year. Meanwhile, the 9th graders were gathered in the multi-hall, where they also talked about secondary education. One of the topics discussed was the importance of choosing an education with heart and brain instead of just choosing according to where your friends or the types you like best should go. The theme gave many students food for thought and during the autumn there will be more talks and presentations on the choice of secondary education.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodbye to AFS short course students 
<\/strong><\/span>For the past four weeks we have been visited by a lovely group of AFS students. It has been a really nice week, where they have been part of the community here at Ranum. We have enjoyed their company and good humour. Not least we say thank you for the fantastic masterpiece in the seminary building. With precision, colours and a little bit of hurry with the last brush strokes, the masterpiece was luckily finished in time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
