School Mediation Program 2025-2026

For the 3rd consecutive year, our school successfully implemented the School Mediation Program, this time with even greater maturity and impact!

This year, in addition to experiential simulations and intensive training in mediation techniques, our students handled real mediation cases within the school. With responsibility, empathy and respect, they contributed to the peaceful resolution of conflicts, proving in practice the value of the program.

Our collaboration with the 1st High School of Sykies was particularly significant. We organized two joint workshops — one in our school and one in theirs — where students from both schools exchanged experiences, participated in experiential activities, and strengthened their skills through group exercises.

The highlight of the year was our joint educational trip to Bulgaria. The purpose of the excursion was to explore the history, culture and social dynamics of our neighboring country through a journey that combined knowledge and experiential learning. We visited the historic Rupel Fort and Museum, continued to Sofia, and concluded our trip in Plovdiv. Through guided tours and discussions, our students reflected on issues of peaceful coexistence, conflict resolution and intercultural understanding — values that lie at the heart of school mediation.

We warmly thank all the participating students, the teachers Kallirroi Papakosta and Christina Tzoumaka, as well as all our partners who contributed to the success of the program.

A Window to Europe Through a Big Digital Screen: Our Shared Story in the World of eTwinning

Participation in an eTwinning Project

During the current school year, our school successfully participated in a European eTwinning project, offering our students a unique experience of collaboration and learning.

Through a variety of creative activities, students had the opportunity to work with peers from different countries, exchange ideas, explore new cultures, and develop their digital and communication skills.

Participation in the project enhanced students’ creativity, teamwork, and self-confidence, while also contributing to the development of an open and collaborative learning community.

We are very proud of our students’ work and participation and would like to thank all our partners for their excellent cooperation. We look forward to taking part in similar projects in the future.

Radio broadcast on European School Radio

The Rotunda, the most significant monument in Thessaloniki, was built at the crossroads of two worlds, the Roman and the Byzantine. Its construction began at the end of the 3rd to the beginning of the 4th century AD when Caesar Galerius Valerius (293-311 AD) chose Thessaloniki as the seat of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. It is included in the Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2008, the archaeological site was awarded by the European Union and Europa Nostra. Europa Nostra is the pan-European federation for cultural heritage. When the Rotunda was built, what its use was, how to interpret its original, masterful decoration, and many other questions have received various interpretations, often diametrically opposed, without research reaching commonly accepted conclusions. So what’s going on with the Rotunda? A group of students interviewed Ms. Pelli Mastaora, an archaeologist at the Ephorate of Antiquities of Thessaloniki, who answered their questions. On the occasion of the guided tour of the Galerian Complex and the Rotunda, a group of B’ class students sought information in order to create a radio broadcast about these monuments of our city. The broadcast was aired on European School Radio on Wednesday, April 5, 2023.

Action against violence

“In memory of Alkis Kampanos, who unjustly lost his life a year ago after being attacked, the students of the 1st Senior High School of Stavroupoli spread their own message for the elimination of sports fans violence, forming with their school bags and bodies the words: VIOLENCE = WEAKNESS ALKIS.”

“Life After…!!!”

On Tuesday May 16 2023, at the “Lazaristes” Monastery, the dance-theater performance “Life After…!!” was presented, dedicated to our ancestors who, more than 100 years ago after the Asia Minor Catastrophe, arrived in their homeland exhausted in various ways, leaving their own “Homeland” behind and settling in Western Thessaloniki. Thus, our school’s project entitled “Tastes and Aromas of the East…!” was completed.

The event was the result of collaboration among 6 schools in the area, including our school, the1st Senior High School of Stavroupoli.

We congratulate the children on their wonderful performance and wish them more success to come!

For those who couldn’t attend the performance live, they have the opportunity to watch it recorded on the channel of the Directorate of Education of WesternThessaloniki
