487 junior high school students in the Silesian Voivodeship received the title of laureate of subject competitions organized by the Silesian Education Superintendent in the 2015/2016 school year, among them was a student from Gimnazjum Nr 3 im. Cypriana Kamila Norwida in Myszkow – Karol Knysak. The student from “Trójka” became a laureate twice – in chemistry (supervisor: Anna Durka) and Polish language (supervisor: Izabela Kochel).
To honor the particularly talented youth, gala events for the laureates of provincial subject competitions for junior high school students from our region were organized. On April 4th, at the Central School of the State Fire Brigade in Częstochowa, certificates and gifts were presented to the students by Urszula Bauer, the Silesian Education Superintendent. The Superintendent also thanked the school directors and teachers who prepared the students for the competitions. 79 students and 44 school directors were invited to the gala in Częstochowa.
– You are the best among the best. Achieving the title of laureate is your true success and a reason for pride for your teachers and parents – said Urszula Bauer during the meeting with the laureates. The Superintendent also directed words of thanks to the teachers who inspire the youth with their passion and curiosity about the world, motivating the students to learn and make an effort.
