GSO and City Library

The comprehensive school Bremen-Ost (GSO), Walliser Straße 125, is an integrated comprehensive school founded in 1972 with all-day operation in the Osterholz -Tenever district in the east of Bremen . The district also has an old settlement structure (farms, meadows and fields, parks) and large residential areas with a high proportion of the population with a migration background. With around 1350 students, the GSO is the largest general education school in Bremen. It is an integrated comprehensive school , called Oberschule since 2010 , which also has a grammar school upper level. This upper level can be selected by all students in the district and beyond.

history

building

The comprehensive school east was built from 1970 to 1972 according to plans of the architectural group planning group 5 ( Glade , Köhl , Müller, Schmidt and Zickerow). The building concept corresponded to the then educational model of a large facility. Due to its size and concentration, the diverse offers for schoolchildren and people in the district should be achieved. The school was planned for 2,400 students. The four-storey building in reinforced concrete frame construction was made from exposed concrete prefabricated parts with the special teaching areas, the administration and the school and city district public areas on the lower levels. A series of courtyards is reached in the central axis from the terrace-like raised main level. The building was completely renovated from 2002 to 2007.

school

In 1972 the school was opened as an integrated comprehensive school. Ten years after it was founded, the GSO had 1,200 students. After that, the number of learners initially decreased and then increased again. The students come mainly from the districts of Osterholz, Mahndorf and Oberneuland. In 2007 the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen moved into rehearsal rooms in the GSO.

The Osterholz city (sub) library of the Bremen City Library has been located in the building since 1974/75 .

concept

The classes of the GSO are put together in the fifth grade and stay together until the tenth grade. Social educators are assigned to the respective classes up to the eighth grade . There are classes with a focus on music, art, theater and natural sciences. In addition, a specialty subject from the fields of technology, music, art, natural sciences or the foreign languages ​​French or Spanish is chosen. Although the class groups remain in place until the tenth grade, there are differentiations in the subjects English and mathematics (from seventh grade), German (from grade 8) and natural sciences (from grade 9) according to school performance.

Because it is open all day, there is a school canteen with two menus a day. Numerous leisure activities are offered during the lunch break.

Working groups

There are working groups on the subject of football, handball, hockey, badminton, table tennis, swimming, kayaking, dancing, school gardens, computers, theater, video, school paramedics , bicycle repairs and a working group Jugend forscht . There is also the possibility of participating in the pop choir as part of a working group. In addition to the working groups, project weeks also take place every year.

Cooperations

The GSO cooperates with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen , with the Bremen Kunsthalle , with the Focke-Museum and with the SV Werder Bremen . There are numerous joint activities every school year.
