Headmistress Elisabeth Mayr presented 133 pupils from the Christoph-Probst-Gymnasium in Gilching with their Abitur certificates yesterday in the gymnasium.

Around 25 of them achieved an average of 1.3 or better.

The headmistress thinks it's a great achievement.

Gilching – Only the basketball hoops and the rung bars on the wall reminded of a gym yesterday during the high school graduation ceremony at the Christoph-Probst-Gymnasium in Gilching.

The school had covered the floor with blue mats, the windows were darkened with black fabric, a glittering disco ball hung from the ceiling, and a stage several meters long with two large screens and "Abi 2022" balloons was set up on one long side was illuminated with spotlights.

“This day is very special.

School is over for you today and a new chapter in your life is beginning,” Director Elisabeth Mayr said into the microphone.

The 133 high school graduates sat in rows with their parents, siblings and friends in the gym and listened to the headmistress.

"After around 15,000 school hours, frustration, failures and detours, you have finally reached your goal after twelve years.

I hope that you can fully enjoy this feeling of happiness here and now," said Mayr.

Your colleague and deputy Dr.

Wilfried Trinkl reminded the students how important the Abitur is.

"I'm always surprised when and where I still have to show the certificate.

Even at my age.

They probably even want to see it in the old people's home if I should live there one day," joked Wilfried Trinkl.

This shows what valid performance assessment the Abitur is.

"You can be proud of yourself."

Not only studying, but also an apprenticeship is an option after the Abitur

District Administrator Stefan Frey also praised the students – but also the teachers.

"It really is a great school with a great staff." Frey took the opportunity and appealed to the high school graduates to find out about the training opportunities on site.

"A lot of people don't even know what they want to do.

It doesn't always have to be a degree, there are still many vacancies at great companies in the district," says the district administrator.

Before director Elisabeth Mayr began with the awards and the awarding of certificates, various high school graduates showed their musical talent.

Jakob Smolinski caused goosebumps with a song accompanied by a piano and Kira Hastenrath played a song on the guitar.

Then Mayr invited the best of the year onto the stage.

Around 25 students achieved an Abitur grade of 1.3 or better.

"That's really a strong performance," said the Headmistress.

For individual young people there were awards and prizes in various subjects such as German, sports, economics and law, mathematics, physics, biology, Spanish and religion.

While the 133 students from Gilching in evening dress and suits, divided into three groups, stepped onto the stage one after the other and ceremoniously received their certificates and a rose, a song of their choice was played in the background and photos from their childhood and from today were shown.
