Dear reader,<\/h4>\n

That's the expression\u00a0to get some air under your wings<\/strong>that in principle it means \"the opportunity to develop freely and independently or to experience something new and exciting\" (ordnet.dk). Add community, professionalism and education in a safe, diverse environment, and you've almost got Ranum's values framed.<\/p>\n

Right now, the Danish westerly wind is adding another dimension to the wing narrative. It's blowing. A lot. TV2 Nord predicts an unusually windy Friday ahead, so we seek refuge from the wind and in each other's company.<\/p>\n

Pull up your collar and put the kettle on, here comes this week's newsletter from Ranum Efterskole College.<\/p>\n

We start off strong<\/h2>\n

8 teachers. 10 bats. 20 barrels. 400 pupils. 0 cats. Put it all together and you have one HUGE carnival. That's exactly what we had on Tuesday. The contact groups had dressed up under the same theme. Most of them, anyway. See or re-see the pictures of them right now here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mid-term evaluations<\/h2>\n

Last week, the contact groups started to evaluate how the after-school year has been so far. We are halfway through, which means that we now have personal interviews with each student. The conversation has several purposes, but the most important is of course that each student is seen, heard and challenged. We talk about values, attitudes and friendships, and we do this in a safe but also encouraging context.<\/p>\n

The conversation should also focus on the rest of the year, tightening up where to tighten, supporting more where to support, building dreams, goals and so on.<\/p>\n

New AFSers<\/h2>\n

We'll just switch over to English.

Trial at Ranum<\/h2>\n

Well, it's probably not as bad as it sounds. It's as close to reality as possible, but there are no criminals here. At most, a night owl or two, and we'll take care of that too, of course. Outside the courtroom. But educational and exciting, it certainly was.<\/p>\n
