\u201cOur school is special because we care about every child, whether they come from the city or from a remote mountain village. For us, there is no forgotten child,\u201d emphasizes Ivana Petrovi\u0107, a pedagogue at the \u201cStojan Novakovi\u0107\u201d school, which is among the most successful in the country, in an interview for our portal. We went there to find out why.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the “Stojan Novakovi\u0107” Elementary School in Blace, success is not measured only by grades and diplomas \u2013 but also by togetherness, solidarity, and dedication to learning, work, and life. The school’s pedagogue emphasizes that the students are versatile, diligent, and engaged, and the teachers are dedicated and ready to provide additional support to every child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our students compete in almost all subjects, and are most numerous in mathematics competitions, where they achieve enviable results. We also have successes in Serbian language, literature, literary Olympiads, as well as in foreign languages \u2013 Russian and English. Children gladly participate in history, geography, chemistry competitions as well\u2026 Most students qualify for district competitions, and last year we also had a placement in national competitions, which is a great success for us \u2013 emphasizes Petrovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She adds that for a school from that region, every national competition that children reach is a great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 For a small school in a small town, it is already a success that someone reaches a national competition, regardless of whether it is fourth or fifth place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This school also has its champions: a girl who was second in the national Russian language competition, a student who traveled to Moscow as part of the Ni\u0161 Olympiad, as well as children who won the first three places in national competitions in previous generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 We have children who are grateful for the work, and our teachers are engaged and full of enthusiasm. When they see desire, will, and interest in students, they are ready to invest additional time and energy. We organize additional and supplementary classes \u2013 both for those who want more and for those who need extra help \u2013 explains Petrovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spirit of community is also fostered in the school: every year, a charity fair is organized at the end of May, where students and parents bring homemade food, books, dolls, flowers, toys\u2026 The money collected at the fair is used to help students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds \u2013 for buying books, paying for trips, excursions, graduation, and even clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Most of our students come from families engaged in agriculture, so after school they help their parents with various tasks \u2013 explains Petrovi\u0107, whose face shows love for all students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Our children manage everything \u2013 they help their parents, study, socialize, play sports, and spend the least time on social networks and games. They use innovative teaching methods, participate in creative workshops, watch educational films, solve research tasks, and even hunt for treasure, solving math or nature and society problems. Teachers are dedicated to keeping students’ attention for 45 minutes and adapt learning methods \u2013 she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are also children in the school whose parents work as teachers, order is maintained in the school environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 In the street we are friends, but in school it is clear who is the teacher and who is the student. Children know how to address whom \u2013 explains Petrovi\u0107 and adds that this is part of the values the school nurtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the conversation, Ivana Petrovi\u0107 proudly states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Our children are versatile, diligent, and ready to help. That is our greatest strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
