In a short ceremony each of the high school students in grades 9a and 10V2 of the Finsing Middle School received their certificates.
It quickly became clear that both classes will be remembered at school for a long time.
Finsing - Because of the hygiene measures, the festively dressed schoolchildren and a few relatives moved into the gym, which was set up in small family islands.
This year the celebrations took place one after the other.
It quickly became clear to both of them that both classes would be remembered at school for a long time, albeit each for a different reason.
Vice-principal Antja Dürr, who is currently running the school, summed up at the welcome at 9a that it was a “remarkable and unbelievable time” - and she doesn't mean that because of Corona.
The metaphor of a mountain hike ran through her address as a red thread.
The quote “If you never sound out your limits, you don't know where they are” connect them with “Bergsteigergruppe 9a”.

In the 5th grade, they left together. The path was straight, then some of the students dismounted again, and sometimes all of them could not be persuaded to continue. “Also because things along the way were more interesting,” says Dürr. There was stagnation, "and the mountain guides also ran out of air". In the end, however, "with the new mountain guide", who made steadfast progress, had fun with the ascent again. Now you have reached the top. "In reality it is only one step on your long way," said Dürr. The graduates should now look ahead, look for new summits and not allow themselves to be dissuaded from this path.
Class teacher Christin Herrmann became clearer in her speech.
In the summer of 2019, at the school conference, she read her name next to the then 8a with two question marks behind it.
“No teacher wanted to take over this class voluntarily,” said Herrmann.
After sleeping on it for one night, she told the headmaster at the time, Stephan Rettig, that she would take on the task.
So far, every colleague has given up this class again after a year - "but the accounts are settled at the end," she said at the time.

You are the best from the 9a (front, from left): Fabienne Murken (average: 1.9) wants to continue to school and jump on the 9 + 2 train.
Daniel Seitter (1.64) would like to continue with the M train and then move on to mechanics or electronics.
Celia Schmaus (1.9) also wants to continue with the M-Zug and then become a two-wheel mechatronics technician.

At the end now it shows that she was able to keep her promise. It was exhausting and exciting at the same time, said Herrmann, and her words were accompanied by a lot of praise for the students. Everyone pulled together, the teamwork was honest and trusting, and everyone, including yourself, could present himself as he really is. In the end, it turned out that the class was much better than its reputation. "I'm incredibly proud of you, and you can be too."
The 10V2 heralded its end with the 80s hit “The Final Countdown”.
Dürr greeted the class in English and thus led them to speak to them not as a language teacher, but as the headmistress.
Dürr compared his school days with a long journey that was not always easy, but rather arduous, uneven and, in the end, quite steep.
But her companion, class teacher Benjamin Ertl, "kept looking in the right direction with the binoculars".

You are the best from the 10V2 (front, from left): Laura Kronseder (front, left, cut: 1.4) would like to do a pre-study internship at the St. Nicholas School in Erding and then become a curative nurse.
Tobi Grübl (center) achieved a 1.0.
He goes to the FOS in Erding and then wants to study teaching.
Matea Celebic (right) also passed the exams with a 1.0.
She also wants to go to the FOS and is aiming for a medical degree.

Not all of them would have always wanted to go along with Ertl, but he did not allow himself to be disturbed.
In the end, the goal was achieved.
"You are a class that we will remember with great fondness," said Dürr.
Ertl delivered his speech with his usual sense of humor.
"Now there are 'stories from the Paulanergarten'", said the teacher and shared a number of anecdotes that began with an "irritating" parents' evening for him, "but in the end it went very well".
Distance teaching and video conferencing brought many unknown problems that weren't necessarily resolved as the classroom continued.
In the end, however, “everyone really stepped on the gas”, they trusted each other and treated each other honestly, cordially, politely and with respect.
What is special, however, is that the 10V2 is the first year of a V-Class in Finsing, in which everyone graduated straight away without a re-examination.
