The district school Rissen (abbreviation STS Rissen ) is a district school founded in 2011 in the Hamburg district of Rissen .

history

With the Hamburg school reform from the school year 2010/2011, all secondary schools, secondary schools and comprehensive schools in Hamburg were abolished and replaced by district schools. Four-year elementary school and twelve-year high school were retained, the former after the six-year primary school was rejected in a referendum. As part of this reform, the nearby Iserbarg secondary school was converted into a pure elementary school. The main and secondary school part of the Iserbarg school went to the Rissen district school.

According to plans since March 2011, the “District School in Rissen” was formed in August 2011 as a spin-off from the Blankenese District School and initially shared the premises with the Rissen Gymnasium, which z. T. also caused displeasure and criticism. With the school development plan 2012, the district school became independent on August 1, 2012: the STS in Rissen became the STS Rissen . In the course of this it was decided to erect the building of the district school on the premises of the grammar school: a new building for administration, lower and upper grades, a common new cafeteria and an all-day area.

Since the rooms in the grammar school were soon no longer sufficient for the steadily growing district school, lessons increasingly took place in container classrooms, which were increased every school year. In May 2015, work finally began on the new buildings, which were inaugurated in January 2017. Meanwhile, the district school and the grammar school are very keen to cooperate and be good neighbors and share the Rissen school campus.

2015 Student Companies project was the STS cracks as one of ten schools and educational projects with the Hamburg Education Award of Haspa and Abendblatt excellent, in 2016 reached the same school project a 3rd place at the school prize of Hamburg's economy the Chamber of Commerce .

In 2018 the STS Rissen said goodbye to its first high school graduate class.

Location and architecture

The district school uses the "Schulcampus Rissen" (Vosshagen 15) together with the Gymnasium Rissen , which has been located there since 1971. The joint campus is around 28,000 m² in size and is located in the middle between Tinsdaler Heideweg in the south and Bundesstraße 431 in the north. The immediate vicinity of the school campus is characterized by single-family houses, allotment gardens and loosened block developments from the 1960s.

The existing buildings erected for the grammar school prior to the founding of the district school were inaugurated in 1971 and expanded in 1976. These are series constructions based on drafts by the Hamburg Building Authority, in particular of the type 68 (double H). From 2011 to 2013, the specialist class building underwent a major overhaul with a budget of half a million euros. The existing buildings have flat roofs throughout and are kept in simple white, gray and beige tones.

New rooms were needed to set up a three-class district school and to enable all-day operations in both the district school and the grammar school. The required room volume was distributed over two new buildings in order to achieve a harmonious ratio between the size of the new buildings and the existing buildings with a maximum of three floors. The newly built L-building (learning building / L-shaped floor plan) on the western edge of the school premises has four floors. The two-story cafeteria building on the east side of the school premises also includes an auditorium and is used by both schools. In contrast to all other buildings on the site, the cafeteria does not have a flat roof, but two monopitch roofs running in opposite directions . The facades of the new buildings are designed in a kaleidoscope-like manner with colored tiles. The L-building functions as the main building of the district school. The L-building was inaugurated in 2017 and is barrier-free, i. i.e., it has ramps, an elevator and accessible toilets.

While the administration, lower and upper grades are housed in the L building, the middle grades of the district school are located in the H building, the other half of which is used by the Rissen high school. The F-building with specialist rooms for chemistry, physics and theater is also used by both schools, as are the sports and outdoor facilities. Due to the rapid expansion of the school and the expansion from three to four class trains, classrooms are housed in makeshift containers as of 2020, which were actually only provisionally built during the renovation and new construction phase.

School profile

The school has been divided into four classes since 2019 (previously three classes) and comprises grades 5–13. Possible degrees are the (extended) ESA , the MSA and the (technical) Abitur. The lessons are mostly organized in double lessons.

By registering for the fifth grade, the future pupils choose a lower level profile: art, music or theater. The profile subject is then taught for four hours in grades 5 and 6. At the end of the sixth grade, the students choose another subject from the triad. The class stays together up to and including grade 8.

Three profiles were offered in the upper school in 2019/20 :

  • Profile-giving: Sport and PGW with accompanying subjects education and seminars
  • Profile-giving: history with accompanying subjects theater, visual arts and seminars
  • Profile: biology and PGW with accompanying subjects philosophy and seminar

The main catchment area of ​​the district school in 2017/18 was Rissen and Sülldorf , and to a lesser extent Iserbrook and Osdorf . In the survey of the social index for Hamburg schools in 2011, a social index of 4 was calculated for the Rissen district school on a scale from 1 (disadvantageous requirements of the student body, highest need for support) to 6 (best conditions, no need for support). In the 2016/17 school year, around 25% of the students had a migration background , well below the average for Hamburg's district schools.

Extracurricular activities

Under the motto “Do something meaningful and live under simple conditions”, the 8th grade students undertake so-called challenge tours, which can last up to two weeks and are intended to bring the children physically and mentally out of their comfort zone and to their limits. In addition, the class community should be strengthened and the pupils should be given a sense of achievement through unusual, practical and action-oriented activities and requirements that normal school life cannot offer them. Examples of previous challenge tours are bike tours lasting several weeks, renovations, excavations, reforestation and environmental projects.

In the years 9/10, the students decide to work in one of four start-ups (e.g. event, catering, gardening and landscaping, production, printing & design, media technology). The focus here is on the promotion of self-reliant and independent learning in interdisciplinary contexts and career orientation. In addition, the start-ups should have an external impact, i. H. the students get the opportunity to prove themselves in extracurricular contexts. The start-ups are run as independent companies, have to give an account of their business and keep records, develop advertising strategies for their products and services and finance themselves and, if possible, also generate profits. The start-up model from STS Rissen was awarded the Hamburg Education Prize in 2015.

The nearby orchard was leased by the school and in the past served as the starting point and production site for the school's own apple juice, honey and herbs. Working in the meadow is integrated into the school's internal curriculum - this is how a school-based place for practical learning was created. The natural sciences and the start-up gardening and landscaping use the site. Due to the rapid growth of the school, the meadow will probably fall victim to a new upper level building, which is planned for 2024 (as of August 2020).
