Our whole high school had the chance to spend a truly special day together in Gdańsk – a day filled with memories, laughter, and experiences we won’t soon forget.

We began by celebrating Boys’ Day in a simple yet meaningful way: inviting our boys out for a coffee. It was a small gesture, but it created a warm atmosphere, giving everyone a chance to relax, chat, and enjoy each other’s company before the busy day ahead.

From there, we moved into the world of theatre with an English-language performance of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Seeing this classic story brought to life on stage – and in English – was both inspiring and thought-provoking. It wasn’t just an artistic experience, but also a valuable opportunity to practice language in a real, engaging context. The play raised timeless questions about humanity, responsibility, and the consequences of our actions, themes that remain just as powerful today as when the novel was first written.

In the afternoon, we stepped back in time with a visit to the magnificent Bazylika Mariacka, one of Gdańsk’s most iconic landmarks. What made this visit unforgettable was our guide: none other than our own history teacher, Professor Paczkowski. Thanks to his passion and expertise, the tour became much more than a walk through the basilica. Through his stories and insights, the walls and details of the church came alive, turning history into an adventure we could all share.

All in all, it was a day that combined celebration, culture, and history in the best way possible – and one that will stay with us for a long time.
