Today we\u2019re heading into a long weekend after two whirlwind weeks! It\u2019s been an absolutely fantastic start to the new school year, and whilst you might imagine we write the same thing every year, this year we\u2019re experiencing a very special efterskole spirit. Never before have we seen so many pupils singing along at the whole-school assemblies; there\u2019s lively chatter during communal meals; and the overall participation and enthusiasm for lessons and activities is impressively high. We naturally hope this continues, as it is a pleasure to witness the energy, curiosity and joy with which the pupils approach their daily lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this week\u2019s newsletter, you can read about a new subject at Ranum and hear the pupils\u2019 own thoughts on what it\u2019s been like to go mobile-free for nearly two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorparty <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We kicked off the weekend in style with a spectacular colourful party! And we\u2019re not done with the great atmosphere just yet. That\u2019s why we\u2019re sharing this album with all the photos from the evening, so you too can relive the atmosphere and get a little glimpse of the fantastic welcome party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A record number of girls on the football team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year, the girls\u2019 football team at Ranum Efterskole College is breaking records with no fewer than 28 girls who love football. It\u2019s fantastic to see how many girls want to take up football, get out on the pitch and be part of the community surrounding the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With as many as 28 players, we\u2019ll be able to field two teams this autumn for the upcoming tournaments \u2013 and, not least, for the big highlight: the North Jutland Championships in September. It will be exciting to follow the girls as they set out to represent Ranum and compete for good results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coaching team has also been expanded, and this year we are delighted to welcome Anne Sofie Siersb\u00e6k (on the left), who brings with her many years\u2019 experience as both a football coach and a fitness coach at FC Thisted. At the same time, Anne Schmidt is continuing the excellent work she did with the girls last year and is once again helping to create a great environment for development, enjoyment of football and a sense of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re looking forward to an autumn season packed with plenty of football and great experiences on the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yearbook presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been delighted to start handing out the yearbooks to last year\u2019s pupils, and it\u2019s a real pleasure to see you all again and hear what you\u2019ve been getting up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week we\u2019ve been in Fredericia and Odense, and next week we\u2019ll be continuing the distribution in \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New this year, we have HIKE AND CLIMB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have launched a new course at Ranum, which combines many of the great skills and facilities we already offer. The course is called Hike and Climb. Here, we combine raw strength with good fitness, and on the autumn trip to Morocco, pupils will get to try out both the hiking and climbing elements in the Atlas Mountains. In both disciplines, good team spirit is crucial \u2013 both for reaching the top of the climbing wall and for completing the distance on the hike. Most of the pupils have never worn climbing shoes before, and we are delighted to see how they throw themselves into new challenges, learn new skills and help one another along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile phones are back <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first two weeks of the school year are almost over, so the pupils have had their mobile phones returned to them. For many, this provides a great sense of security and makes it easier to stay in touch with the outside world. Several have also mentioned that it can be difficult to find one another on efterskolen\u2019s large campus, particularly in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the mobile phone policy remains that pupils are not to use mobile phones whilst eating, during whole-school assemblies or in lessons, unless they are asked to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch Jenny and Alessia talk about their experience in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
