The Schalksmühle network school is located in Schalksmühle . In addition to Schalksmühle, the catchment area also includes Breckerfeld , Hagen , Halver and Lüdenscheid .
Today's school complex in Friedhofstrasse and Bergstrasse consists of three buildings. In the main building on Friedhofstraße, one of the oldest school buildings in Schalksmühle, there are mainly classrooms and the school organization. In the former primary school building on Bergstrasse and in the courtyard building there are almost exclusively specialist rooms for teaching biology, chemistry and computer science, housekeeping, art and music, physics, technology and textile design.
classes
In the lower level (5 + 6), the test level, the focus is on foreign languages. In addition to English, which is learned from the 5th grade, French is initially taught to all students from the 6th grade. According to the so-called wind class model, a wind class for 5-6 is established. In this class, students are trained in music lessons with a focus on wood and brass instruments. At this level there are also individual remedial lessons in the core subjects.
In the intermediate level (7 + 8), an inclination focus is formed and one of the subjects or specialist groups is selected: French, technology, IT, social sciences, natural sciences, which then belongs to subject group 1, which also includes German, mathematics and English. Among other things, computer science can thus become a 'major'.
The upper level (9 + 10) prepares for the professional and working world, e.g. B. by practicing applications and a three-week student internship.
Extra-curricular offers
In addition to working groups for z. B. Spanish, school newspaper, photo and film, activities such as reading nights, night of the school poets, volleyball tournaments, summer youth games and acquisition of the sports and swimming badges are offered. In the lower school, an eight-day trip to the school camp on the North Sea island of Wangerooge is carried out.
A cafeteria for lunch is available.
The school has developed a special educational concept for disruptive students (concept of the training room).
Others
A sponsoring association supports the school financially.
In addition to the secondary school leaving certificate, the secondary school leaving certificate or the technical college entrance qualification and a qualified note (QV) that entitles the holder to attend a grammar school are offered.
history
The school history can be divided into four sections: Higher private school - Rector's school - Middle school - Real school.
The school was opened on November 11, 1889 as a "higher private school". In 1907 the school moved from temporary accommodation to the newly built building at Friedhofstrasse 11.
In 1909 the private school became the rectorate school and was sponsored by the state. The final exams since 1911 have enabled students to join the secondary school in Lüdenscheid. The Rector's School was a Progymnasium for some of the students. Around 1920 French was the first and English the second foreign language.
At Easter 1935, the rectorate school was gradually converted into a "middle school", the completion of which was the secondary school leaving certificate.
On April 5, 1951, the school became a "Realschule". At that time, some students were also taught Latin to enable them to transfer to one of the grammar schools in Lüdenscheid and Hagen, which all started with Latin at that time. In the 1950s, a piece of land was acquired in the western part of the island of Wangerooge and a holiday home for young people was built there. The RSS got its permanent school campus. In 1954/55 an annex was built for the ever-growing student body with two large classrooms that could be used as an auditorium.
A major spatial change in the school came about when the building on Bergstrasse was incorporated in the early 1970s. In 1985 both buildings were enlarged and modernized. In the 1970s the number of students grew strongly. In the 1976/77 school year there were 456 pupils in 18 classes, in 1979/80 more than 500. In the 1980s, however, the numbers fell almost as sharply to just under 300. In 1986 the support association of the RSS was founded. In 2002 the courtyard building was built on the site of the old fire brigade house.
future
The “Report on the future offer of secondary schools in Schalksmühle” presented in April 2008 on behalf of the local community recommends merging the RSS with the local secondary school in order to avoid the closure of the schools that are important for the Schalksmühle location despite declining student numbers. The report leaves open whether the merger should take place in the form of a comprehensive school or a community school.
On Monday, October 26th, 2009, there was an important school policy decision on site. The municipal council of Schalksmühle decided that the two secondary schools, the secondary school and the high school Schalksmühle, should be merged into a so-called composite school from August 1, 2010 . The network school should also receive a Montessori branch. This new type of school with a pilot character, which is mainly found in the rural areas of North Rhine-Westphalia, means: Although the premises are shared by the pupils of both types of school, both teachers' colleges are amalgamated under a single joint headmaster, but each of the two schools maintains its own Independence and in this it differs significantly from a comprehensive school. At the beginning of the school year 2010/11, the new joint grade 5 with four classes was started in Friedhofstraße, the previous location of the Realschule, and thus began to structurally change this school from bottom to top until 2015. On October 2, 2013, the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Education approved the conversion of the network school into a so-called primary school (admission of primary school children). This new primary school in Schalksmühle started in the 2014/2015 school year. The former secondary school Schalksmühle is integrated into it.
