The Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium is a secondary school in Nottuln, Westphalia . It is named after the founder of Cap Anamur / Deutsche Not-Ärzte und Grünhelme e. V. , Rupert Neudeck .
history
The Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium was founded in 1991 as the "Gymnasium der Gemeinde Nottuln" and since then has been the only secondary school in Nottuln that offers the Abitur as a qualification. For the 2017/2018 school year, the name was changed to Rupert Neudeck as the namesake. The proposal arose from an in-house future workshop and met with great approval in all committees. In the spring of 2017, the social committee of the Nottuln municipality voted for the name change, which formally came into force on the first day of school of the 2017/2018 school year. Widow Christel Neudeck attended grammar school for the naming ceremony .
School profile
Since it was founded, the Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium has continuously developed special features and characteristics that are recognized beyond the school itself. The aim is the development of a wide-ranging ability of the students to act on the way to becoming responsible people and as preparation for university studies or qualified vocational training. Particular emphasis is placed on individual talents, social skills and a high quality of teaching and learning.
UNESCO project school
As part of the naming process for Rupert-Neudeck -Gymnasium, the school also gave itself a public profile and applied as a UNESCO project school .
foreign languages
The modern foreign languages English, French and Spanish as well as Latin are taught at the Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium. Various competitions and certificate courses are offered in all languages, such as the DELF certificate in French and the Cambridge certificate in English. The preparation for this exam takes place in specially set up small groups. In the second part of the compulsory elective subject “Business Analysis - Economy - Business English”, special attention is paid to communication in the English-speaking field. The subject Latin can be completed with the acquisition of the Latinum .
STEM subjects
A wide variety of MINT subjects are taught at the Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium : mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, ecology-human biology and technology. In this course, which is based on the subjects of mathematics, computer science and technology, in addition to descriptive geometry and computer-aided technical drawing, the construction of models 8 is carried out.
Funding concept
The Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium promotes every student according to their individual abilities and inclinations in order to do justice to their talent potential. It submits offers of help in the event of poor performance just as it looks at promoting high-performing students. Precise observation and advice are a prerequisite for recognizing individual performance and help with allocation to appropriate funding programs.
Part of the support concept includes homework support for the lower level, the project "Learning to learn", the implementation of various forms of work and learning in remedial classes, individual tutoring by high school students and the project "Students help students" but competitions in foreign languages (e.g. the French DELF exams) and MINT subjects. There are also support and challenge measures in the field of education, such as self-assertion and conflict training.
International contacts
The opening of the school to other European and non-European countries is a priority goal and thus makes a contribution to education for Europe and international understanding. The high school wants the students to maintain their language skills, break down prejudices, make international friendships and broaden their horizons. The contacts to our partner schools should give the learners an insight into other school systems and into the way of life of the partners abroad. In addition to promoting language skills, the aim of these encounters is also to develop new cultural realities in family, school and leisure time. In addition, intercultural learning should arouse and promote young people's interest in our country's relations with its European and non-European partners. The school therefore supports student exchange trips and stays abroad for individual students. She also regularly accepts guest students from other countries. The grammar school has a Polish partner school, the Miejskie Gimnazjum in Chodziez . Every year around 25 young people take part in an exchange with this school. Furthermore, friendly relations are maintained with two partner schools in Francophone Switzerland. Since the school year 2000/2001 there have been regular exchanges with the Lycée Jean-Piaget in Neuchâtel . Another partner school, the Collège Madame de Staël from Geneva, was added in the school year 2004/2005 , which passed on its exchange in the school year 2008/09 to the Collège Rousseau, also in Geneva. The French students in grade 9 take part in the 8-day exchange with Geneva, those of 11 / EF in the one with Neuchâtel. During this time, the young people are housed in the families of their corres and sit in on their lessons. There is a supporting program, which includes exploring Neuchâtel or Geneva and the surrounding area, but also day trips, e.g. B. to Bern or to Annecy in France.
School trips
The class trips in lower secondary level at the end of grade 5 or at the beginning of grade 6 and in grade 8 are intended to encourage understanding among the students. Study trips in the upper level are offered as part of the advanced courses with a corresponding thematic focus. In addition, the EF grade students have the opportunity to take part in "Religious Orientation Days" . Hiking days and exploration days are part of the school's permanent offer. In addition, there are courses and excursions in many subjects.
Sports
The Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium is also active in sports. The eighth grades go to Austria every year for a compact ski course, there are various school teams and there is an annual St. Nicholas tournament for students, parents, teachers and alumni.
Career orientation
For career and study orientation, more than 15 offers are available for all students at the grammar school. They start in grade 7 and end in grade 12. For example, there is the event “Focus Job”, which was added to the program in 2011. In addition, there are projects aimed at specific stakeholders, e.g. B. training as a school paramedic or sports assistant, the project course “School meets business” in Q2. The BOSS module is a seminar on vocational orientation for students at the end of secondary level I with partners outside of school, such as the district craftsmen, the University of Münster and the employment agency .
Media concept
There are two computer rooms with multimedia-equipped PCs in the school network. Every subject given at the Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium contributes to media education with its possibilities. These are recorded in the curriculum of the individual subjects within the school program. The aim is to sustainably promote the media skills of the students.
Political, social and community engagement
The grammar school is particularly involved in the political and social area. The focus is on democratic processes and projects in order to guarantee the sustainability of decisions and implementation. Together with the Nottuln community, students are prepared to use resources responsibly.
The Polit-Café
The social science courses of the upper level organize public panel discussions with audience participation at regular intervals. Speakers from politics, business and civil society are invited to current topics and problems to discuss with the moderators (two students of the respective course) and the audience and to argue about possible solutions. All interested citizens are invited. Since it was founded in 2007 by teacher Werner Völlering , the Polit-Café has become an integral part of the activities in the Nottuln community. Discussions take place, for example, on upcoming elections, but also on socio-political issues such as digitization. Prominent guests included Sylvia Löhrmann and Robert Habeck .
Student household
Every year the students receive a certain amount from the municipality. The student council determines proposals from the student body about how the money should be used and the entire student body then votes.
"GyNoFairnascht"
The student company "GyNoFairnascht" has launched a project course in economics. The student company sells fair trade sweets, bananas and stationery. Some of the sales take place during the breaks, in the staff room and at events. The grammar school is also trying to apply as a Fairtrade school. In order to increase sales of the student company's products, 5th and 7th grades design advertisements for the products.
AULA school
The Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium is a pilot school in the AULA project, which motivates students of all ages to shape and improve their school life themselves. This project is internet based to practice liquid democracy .
Model European Parliament project trip
High school students take part in this English language simulation of the European Parliament. After simulations of various bodies have been practiced in school (European Parliament, Bundestag, UNO), the students learn to articulate and enforce their interests in other bodies.
Political educational trip to Berlin
In the 10th grade, students get to know historically and politically important institutions in Berlin (e.g. Bundestag , Stasi prisons, etc.) and have the opportunity to communicate their interests in simulated Bundestag and / or Bundesrat meetings as well as in discussions with members of parliament .
Cell phone project
In grade 9, the students collect discarded cell phones in order to have the raw materials they contain recycled. With over 200 cell phones collected in 2016, this project also met with a great response beyond high school.
Mary's Meals
The Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium supports the Africa aid of the organization Mary's Meals , among other things by collecting packed school bags.
Sponsorship run
The high school supports social projects in Brazil and Africa in cooperation with the Joao Pessoa working group. For this purpose, various events take place in the school every year. The sponsorship run should focus on the mission sister and doctor Dr. Support Raphaela dealers who have been building and expanding a school in Tanzania for years.
social commitment
Part of the school program is what is known as social engagement . Each student between the ninth and eleventh grade (Q1) should take on a social task in school or outside of school for about six months. The areas of responsibility range from homework supervision and library work to managing working groups and taking on organizational tasks at school to looking after senior citizens in old people's homes or youth teams in sports clubs. Participation in the school medical service or participation in the student council also counts as social engagement. With these and other activities, the school takes part in the “School of the Future - Education for Sustainability” certification program. In addition, she has received several awards for her democratic education through the democratic action funding program .
Project "lid on it"
The school collects plastic lids to recycle and donate the proceeds. In the cafeteria, anyone can throw the lids into a bag provided. This was promoted again on the UNESCO project day: the students asked people about their plastic lids and were even allowed to unscrew the lids in beverage markets.
Support association
The Friends of the Rupert-Neudeck-Gymnasium supports many activities and projects. For example, the association promotes “coolness” training for boys and “power” training for girls in grades 7 and 8, but supports the theater group, the sound group, the Lions Quest project and the “DELF” exam also rhetoric seminars, a professional aptitude test and an ADAC driver safety training course for high school students.
School newspaper
With a little help from teachers, the pupils create their own school newspaper and thus record everyday school life. Most of the reports are about school projects. In the part "The Rupees", which is made exclusively by students, the children create several entertainment pages with jokes, questions for teachers and other categories.
School building and architecture
The school building is divided into several pavilions, which are grouped around large outdoor areas. Two pavilions each form a thematic area, such as art / music and natural sciences. The complex also has a multi-purpose hall, a cafeteria and a forum.
