The Hugo-Junkers-Gymnasium, a renowned school in the heart of Mönchengladbach, is more than just a place of education. It serves as a platform for students to engage with the city and the world beyond, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and community involvement.
One of the school's most notable aspects is its active participation in international meetings. Many of its students represent the city in events such as the school bridge and European days, showcasing their intellect and skills on a global stage.
The school's big band adds a musical touch to the city's festivities, performing an annual Christmas concert at the Rheydter market.
Education extends beyond the classroom walls at Hugo-Junkers-Gymnasium. The school organises a junior election to mirror real elections, providing students with a hands-on understanding of democracy. Science enthusiasts can participate in a science slam and 'Jugend forscht', encouraging curiosity and innovation.
History lessons in the sixth grade take an interactive approach, with students using original Stone Age tools to gain a better understanding of the life of early Mönchengladbachers. The school also cooperates with the city archive, offering students access to a wealth of historical resources.
A school garden provides a green oasis, while various projects in art, geography, chemistry, computer science, and culture enrich students' learning experiences.
The school has formed strong connections with notable figures, including Mayor Felix Heinrichs, Gülistan Yüksel, Dr. Günter Krings, Britta Haßelmann, Rolf Mützenich, and Bärbel Baas, who have interacted with students.
In addition to these activities, Hugo-Junkers-Gymnasium hosts workshops during "Erlebnistage" for prospective students, reading sessions such as from Anne Frank's diary, and fundraising for war graves care. Traffic education for fifth graders and participation in European Days and school exchange programs like the "Schulbrücke" are also part of the school's calendar.
Students participate annually in 'Courage Day' and 'Red Hand Days' to protest against the misuse of child soldiers. The school has also founded three Stolpersteine for citizens murdered by the National Socialists, standing as a testament to the school's commitment to remembering history.
The school takes pride in its certifications as a 'school without racism' and 'fair trade school', reflecting its commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment. Registrations for the school's offers can be made through the secretariat.
In essence, Hugo-Junkers-Gymnasium is not just a school; it's a hub of learning, community engagement, and social responsibility, nurturing the next generation of global citizens.
