Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween to all the followers of this ancient Celtic tradition! The third issue of the Hyde Park this year is traditionally devoted to the autumn festivals of the English-speaking world. We have updated information on Halloween contributed by Vlad Kuzmenko (Group 32-E) and Nataly Zabolotna of Linguistic University (graduated from the Lycee in 2007). You can find the article on the Halloween's history and origins HERE and the explanations of Halloween symbols' meanings right HERE . Enjoy!

“SAFE UKRAINE – SAFE EUROPE – SAFE WORLD”



October 24, 2009
This motto makes the name of an international high school students’ contest organized by the Association of School Administrators of Ukraine, the Atlantic Council of Ukraine and the Public League Ukraine – NATO. The similar contests are held in Poland and Slovakia. The contest was held in Ukraine for the 4th time. The aim of the contest is to spread information and knowledge in the areas of international security, particularly to understand the activities of international security organizations.
This year Naukova Zmina Lycee took part in the contest for the first time. The team of 3rd course students consisting of Oles RYABCHUK, Vlad CHYKIVCHUK, Yuri ISCHENKO and Oleksandr SIKORSKY, led by their trainer Oleksiy ZABOLOTNYI, went to School # 41 to participate. Our guys submitted their essays, took a test and participated in a discussion. As we were new at the contest, our essays may be not perfect, but our students were second to no one in terms of intellect and discussion skills. Special thanks should be addressed to Yuri ISHCHENKO who turned up at the contest despite his injury and demonstrated dedication and bravery.
In the end everybody received the Certificate of Participation and an invitation to join more activities and contests held by the above mentioned organizations. We hope that next time we will be even more successful because A GOOD BEGINNING MAKES A GOOD ENDING.
Thank you for participation and
promoting the Lycee!
