Success at the Hippo English Language Competition
Qualification for the European level of the competition
We are proud to highlight the outstanding success of our students at the national level of the Hippo English Language Competition. This prestigious international competition gathers students from many countries around the world, offering them the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge while fostering a love for language through engaging and meaningful challenges.
This year, our students once again showed exceptional dedication, responsibility, and knowledge, achieving remarkable results. As many as ten students qualified for the European level of the competition, marking an important step toward the international finals. This achievement is the result of continuous effort, hard work, and a strong desire to excel.
During their preparation, students not only improved their language skills but also learned how to face challenges and manage competition-related pressure. Through this process, they strengthened their confidence, perseverance, and belief in their abilities—key elements of both personal and academic growth.
Teachers played a crucial role in guiding and supporting students, while parents provided essential encouragement throughout the entire journey.

Sofija Dupor

Marko Ponjević

Each of these names represents dedication, effort, and perseverance. Their success proves that hard work pays off and serves as an inspiration for other students to follow their example.
Participation in such competitions offers much more than results. Students develop communication skills, meet peers from different countries, and broaden their perspectives—experiences that build confidence and readiness for future challenges.
We would also like to extend special recognition and appreciation to the teachers whose dedication, expertise, and continuous support played a key role in preparing students for this competition. Their commitment and encouragement were essential in achieving such outstanding results. Teachers Tanja Mihajlović, Danica Colnarić Marinković, Melanija Navala, Bojana Bošković, and Danica Simović not only enhance students’ language skills through their work, but also inspire them to believe in their abilities and strive for excellence. Thanks to this approach, students achieve success that goes beyond the classroom and leaves a lasting impact on their educational journey.
A step closer to the international stage
The European level of the competition will take place in Lido di Jesolo, Italy, from May 17 to May 20. This will be an opportunity for our students to showcase their knowledge in an international environment and take another important step toward top achievements.
We believe this experience will leave a lasting impression and further motivate them to continue developing their skills and interests. Competitions like this provide a unique opportunity for growth and unforgettable memories.
We congratulate all students on their outstanding success and wish them the best of luck in the next stage. We are confident they will proudly represent their school and achieve even greater results!
