After the first trimester, our students showed with their hard work and excellent marks that they were true students of Savremena. Among all of them, there were the ones who excelled. Our teachers in Savremena take pride in their students’ success, whereas their classmates try to follow their examples.

Our Teachers’ Council decided to give praise to the following students for their extraordinary work and commitment, as well as their manners.

I-1
Aleksandar Zaplatić

With straight A’s in all subjects, Aleksandar was justifiably elected the best in his class. Even though he claims it wasn’t easy to achieve these results, Aleksandar strongly believes that hard work and commitment make everything possible and that it’s the right way to achieving one’s goals.

As somebody who likes all subjects, but especially enjoys biology and chemistry, Aleksandar already knows he will engage in medicine and pursue his career of a doctor somewhere abroad.

He especially pointed out that in achieving these results, he had significant help from the technology used in teaching, since all the lessons are always available online and now he finishes his homework assignments with considerably less effort. Outside school he enjoys walking and spending time in nature, whereas he uses quizzes for his mental exercise.

I-2
Marija Matejić

Marija expressed her ambition even at the beginning of the school year she set her goals to getting straight A’s. Achieving this goal didn’t pose a problem for her because, as she claims, the key to success in good time management and daily work, so that the lessons wouldn’t pile up.

She enjoys equally science and humanities, even though she is exceptionally good at maths and everything that has to do with numbers. She devotes special attention to learning foreign languages and so it helps a lot to have bilingual education in Savremena. This will provide her an even greater choice of faculties to enter.

She is motivated by expanding the boundaries and continuing progress, and so she keeps setting new goals for herself.

I-3
Viktor Anđelković

Viktor explains that he was elected the best student of his class because he paid close attention to all lessons. He especially likes that no lessons are boring and that his teachers insist on connecting knowledge from different areas, whereas rote learning is avoided.

He is glad that he goes to a school where learning is fun and practical. Viktor is a student who always wishes to know more, and so he shows special interest in Latin, as a subject he hasn’t had a chance to study before.

Viktor doesn’t achieve success only in school, which is mostly seen from the fact that he has been engaged in folk dancing for eight years now and he has competed in many contests as a member of the youth ensemble.

Year 10
Mina Kovačević

With great appreciation for her teachers for making their lessons truly different, Mina says she is overwhelmed with her results and hopes to justify the merits of the best student in future.

She expresses her versatility by showing interest for different subjects, whereas she sees her future profession somewhere between the areas of information technology and business. She believes that Savremena is the right choice for her, as a school that will equip her for all challenges in her future education by its modern approach to teaching.

Besides being characterised by her analytic abilities and logical thinking, Mina expresses her creativity and talent in some other, extra-curricular activities. She likes films, drawing, fashion, and psychology, and especially enjoy writing sci-fi stories. She’s engaged in music and has played violin for 9 years now.

Year 12
Karim Faris

Even though he is professionally engaged in football, Karim manages to achieve extraordinary results in school. He says that he owes a lot to the good organisation of his lessons, especially study time that provides students an opportunity to finish all their tasks and homework assignments in school.

he is aware of the importance of education in life, so apart from being a professional sports player, he wishes to engage in business, so he is glad that he can attend this subject at school. He is additionally motivated by good environment and teachers who care not only about the marks, but also invest extra energy in motivating their students to study for the sake of their own knowledge.

For their academic achievements, some teachers also serve as his role-models.

 

We would like to congratulate all students for their achieved success, and also to encourage other students to earn this position by the next, Mid-Year evaluation period.
