The Bundesgymnasium Seekirchen is a Bundesgymnasium and Bundesrealgymnasium in the municipality of Seekirchen am Wallersee in the Salzburg-Umgebung district in the State of Salzburg .

history

The school, which was founded as a private high school in 1996, was preceded by a citizens' initiative and a resolution by the Seekirchen market town with the aim of establishing an AHS in the premises of the Seekirchen elementary and secondary school. After the purchase of two pieces of land for a new school building by the municipality and tough negotiations u. a. With the state of Salzburg and the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft (BIG) the private high school was opened on September 12, 1996 with 63 students under the direction of Matthias Hemetsberger. The school authority was the market town of Seekirchen.

In the meantime, container classes for the numerous high school students have been set up on the property of the elementary school. In September 2001 around 400 students and 40 teachers in 20 classes moved into the new school building on Wallerseestrasse. Before the end of 2001, the Seekirchen grammar school was integrated into the federal schools and thus became a federal grammar school.

Although the school building was designed for 600 students, but the number of students increased, in 2006 the state school board for Salzburg and the BIG approved a list of four container classes - this time on the forecourt of the grammar school.

In order to cope with the lack of space, an EU-wide architecture competition for an extension was started in 2009, which was won by the architects kofler architects . The existing school building was renovated and the extension was completed in 2014 after just under one and a half years of construction.

Educational work, equipment and offers

The Bundesgymnasium Seekirchen has 28 classes from 5 to 12 grades with 800 students. (Status: 2015)

The Seekirchen grammar school has been offering a grammar school and a realistic school form since the 2013/14 school year.

In the first and second grades, all students are taught according to the same timetable; from the third grade onwards, students can choose between the grammar school with another foreign language or the secondary school.

In the grammar school, the school-independent subject “Languages ​​alternative” is offered. In the Realgymnasium there is the school-autonomous focus “media: creative”.

In the upper level, the student-autonomous compulsory elective area was increased for both school types and the new school-autonomous subject areas “Understanding Politics”, “Communication and Rhetoric & Pre-Scientific Work” and “Literature Workshop” were created.

Regardless of whether students attend grammar school or secondary school, they can choose between three different all-day school types in the lower grades.

In the all-day class (interlaced form) for the 1st and 2nd class, all-day care takes place in the class with rhythmic teaching, learning and leisure times and an educational concept with more independent learning.

The afternoon care (separate form) for the 1st to 4th grades takes place after the morning lessons in mixed-age groups with alternating study and leisure time in the studio.

In 3PLUS for the 3rd and 4th grades, a support concept for deepening the languages ​​and media: creatively combined with learning and exercise units is carried out.

The school has day care with a seal of approval.

In 2009 the school was nominated for the Austrian School Prize and in 2018 it was awarded 3rd place.

Citizen Science Project

The BRG Seekirchen took part in the Citizen Science project "Hidden World of Bacteria" (Sparkling Science Program) until 2019 . In this project, new types of bacteria were searched for, discovered and scientifically described in close cooperation between science and school. The participating students isolated and named bacterial genera and species that had not yet been discovered. An example is the genus Aquirufa belonging to the family Cytophagaceae and its associated species beregesia, which was named by students of this school, with beregesia being an acronym of the BRG Seekirchen. The Bundesrealgymnasium Seekirchen is therefore likely to be the only school in all of Austria after which a newly discovered bacterial species - Aquirufa beregesia - was named.
