The Corona school year, but now the secondary school graduates are well prepared for life

During Corona, a lot of initiative and independence was required from the students.

That was tough, but it might help on the future path of life.

Mayor Haberl expressed this thought at the graduation ceremony of the secondary school in Taufkirchen.

Taufkirchen

- A lot of initiative was demanded of the 137 high school students of the Realschule Taufkirchen in their final year.

As a result, they have gained a lot of independence, also for their further career.

What, in addition to the learning content, should always be one of the highest goals of school education, was promoted by the second Corona year, with severely limited teaching options.

Taufkirchen's mayor, Stefan Haberl, congratulated a class in which this objective of “mastering life independently” was examined more intensely without being asked than “probably with all previous generations of schoolchildren”.

The graduation ceremony in the secondary school gymnasium was divided into two events.

First, classes a and c were passed in the presence of the parents, in the second round, classes b, d and e.

The school representatives Leonardo Daller and Jonas Wittmann put the joy and relief of all their classmates into words.

Daller joked about the "not so bad homeschooling: get up shortly before eight, register and go back to sleep".

In fact, for most of them it was a marathon of “drudgery, learning, cramming, tests and classwork” that they had finally got over with.

The results showed that they did not switch back, but on the contrary, "trained" with great zeal in order to successfully take part in the "competition", as headmaster Josef Hanslmaier put it with an Olympic comparison: 22 young people were given a special "award ceremony" due to their final grade of 1.5 and better.

The best of the best achieved a straight one: Eva Maria Hermannskirchner and Anton Ludwig Jell.

Like 40 percent of her former classmates, the 16-year-old from Taufkirchen will attend an FOS and continue her education in Landshut in the field of health. She used learning under corona conditions to her advantage, and found the exams to be "surprisingly easy". Anton Jell from Niederstraubing has an apprenticeship contract with BMW in Landshut and is putting his passion for mathematics and science into professional life. For him, the required independence when preparing for the exam was not a problem.

Numbers, sports and languages ​​were equally suited to Gabriela Posch. With such a versatile talent, the girl from Moosen achieved the second-best result with a score of 1.08 and will now take the international economics branch at the Erding technical college. Her neighbor Eva Marie Schmidbauer from Blainöd did the same with a 1.08 and was particularly enthusiastic about the subjects of business administration, accounting and math, with which she also trains at the FOS in international economics. “We had to teach ourselves a lot,” she said, looking back on her last year at school.

Just behind the two, with a 1.09, Lisa Katharina Hellinger delivered the third best graduation certificate.

After she excelled in French and maths, the woman from Steinkirchen is now taking a different path.

She occupies the branch of social affairs and would like to work in the field of education or pedagogy afterwards.

Greetings also came from the deputy headmistress Judith Heugel, from district administrator Martin Bayerstorfer via video and from the chairman of the parents' council Gabi Föstl.

She encouraged the young people to go their very own, personal path, even if it meant detours.

For the future, she wished the graduates the courage to intervene and thereby change things and change themselves.

Headmaster Hanslmaier also looked to the future ahead of his ex-students, in which the proven stamina and determination should be a contribution to further challenges in professional and private life.

Without the opportunity to hold a closing service, the Catholic deacon Peter Winkler and the Protestant pastor Edson Schumacher donated a blessing.
