State-of-the-art education has provided the students of Primary School Savremena with new knowledge and skills, thanks to which they can adequately take care of their oral health or create their own individual training plans.

Life Skills Programme – Things You Will Never Learn in School

The Life Skills Programme is a carefully designed eight-year curriculum that lasts throughout the whole school year and students’ schooling in our educational system. The goal of this programme is for students to acquire practical skills that will enable them to be independent, versatile and capable citizens.

In September, we held two workshops of this type in Savremena in cooperation with our PE teacher Željko Zarić and dentist Nina Milović.

PE teacher, Željko Zarić, explained to our older students of Savremena how different physical exercises affect muscles, strength and overall health, through an interactive lecture on the importance of physical activity. After the lecture, each student acquired the knowledge that allows them to independently create their individual training plan.

A large number of our youngest students attended the workshop with dentist Nina Milović. Thanks to the thoughtful approach of Nina, who designed the entire workshop as a game, the children, while having fun, gained the necessary knowledge about proper tooth brushing and tooth protection. The children were delighted when they got their hands on the biggest brush they had ever seen. With such a tool, they easily adopted the movements and procedure of proper tooth brushing. They also learnt to go to the doctor even when there is no pain or symptoms, because “prevention is better than cure”. As small children are known to be big lovers of sweets, Nina devoted special attention to explaining to them what are the healthiest ways to eat sweets, and how important it is to take care of their teeth.

In Savremena, we always take care that children acquire practical life skills and knowledge in addition to academic ones. Since autumn started with a lot of fun and games with numerous interesting content, empowered with new knowledge, we can’t wait to see what our creative professors and collaborators have in store for us for the October workshops!
