Just before the Christmas holidays, we had the chance to get to know each other "live". We had a video conference and we talked to our partners. It was a fantastic experience. We are going to do it again!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
Something about our school
Our school is located near "Fontana Luminosa" and the castle, just in the centre of l'Aquila.
It is called ITASS "Elena di Savoia".
We are 350 students (but only 20 boys!!!). So the boys are very lucky, but the girls not very much.
Those who love scientific subjects attend the biological branch, where there is a lot of maths, chemistry, biology, science etc...
Those who are fond of foreign languages attend the linguistic branch, where they study mostly: Spanish, French, English and German. Another branch is "social activities" that is a more pratical course where you can study psicology, aliments, healthy and junk food, diets, illnesses and how to give disable people the means to work, live and comunicate in social life.
All the students in our school attend the lessons from Monday to Saturday from 8:20 to 13:30.
There are no lessons in the afternoon, but some projects: etwinning is one of them, as well as sport activities, theatre etc...
We assure you that our male teachers are very handosome but they are few, the female teachers are nice and young in spirit. This is why we make a lot of projects.

An angel died
Everything started on Saturday 6th December 2008…
His name was Alexis Grigoropoulos, a child born in Athens. He was one of us… a 15-year-old boy dreaming of the future. He had lots of dreams for himself. He would like to be a lawyer, he wanted to succeed in this domain. Well, nothing is certain in this life!
Like everyone at his age, he wanted to entertain himself by going out to celebrate the name-day of one of his friends.
It was 8:30pm…
Demonstrations were taking place in the centre of Athens. Students from all Athens’ universities had been protesting about the economical crisis which has affected everyone, Greek people, too. You could hear the sound of molotov, smoke grenades etc.
9:20pm…
Alexis was in the street when a police car passed by. Someone threw a bottle of beer at the car. After a couple of minutes the officers being in the car came back and there was an argument. They exchanged some insults. The situation started to get from bad to worse when suddenly a bullet stopped everyone’s voice…
Alexis GOT KILLED! The two officers walked away as if nothing had happened…
Greece is mourning…
The Police officers were arrested but nothing can bring back the soul of this boy whose death was so unfair.
“ He was only 15” everyone said.. Riots broke out all over the centre of Athens and then all over Greece, targeting police stations.
Although everything started from a small number of people, during the day many school and university students, as well as other young people, started taking part in the clashes with the riot police.
Like every riot, this one had its consequences. Many shops were burnt and their windows were smashed. In addition to this, some people with their faces covered broke into the stores and started ramaging and looting them.
So far there have been demonstrations and clashes with the police in the centre of Athens everyday. Yesterday one of the students of our school, who took part in a demonstration, was arrested. Today he is being taken to court and many teachers, parents and students have gone to support him.
Fortunately, Vrilissia is far from the centre and the events haven’t affected us directly.
