No Colégio Garriga, aprender vai muito além da sala de aula — e o projeto Teens Post é a prova disso. Desenvolvido com os alunos do programa For Teens, o jornal escolar é muito mais do que uma atividade extracurricular: é uma vitrine das ideias, opiniões e talentos dos nossos jovens.

Produzido inteiramente em inglês, o Teens Post traz reportagens, entrevistas e conteúdos sobre temas que despertam o interesse dos próprios alunos, tanto dentro quanto fora da escola. É um espaço onde eles se expressam com autenticidade, praticam o idioma e, principalmente, desenvolvem competências essenciais para a formação pessoal e acadêmica.

Ao escrever e editar o jornal, os alunos trabalham habilidades como:

Escrita criativa
Pensamento crítico
Pesquisa e curadoria de informações
Trabalho em equipe
Comunicação em um segundo idioma
Além de incentivar o protagonismo estudantil, o Teens Post é uma excelente oportunidade de ampliar o contato com a língua inglesa — tanto para quem produz quanto para quem lê os conteúdos.

Esse tipo de experiência conecta o aprendizado ao mundo real, dando significado ao uso do inglês na prática. É o inglês que se fala no dia a dia, com temas que fazem sentido para a faixa etária e com um objetivo claro: comunicar ideias de forma criativa, segura e relevante.

No Garriga, acreditamos que aprender também é experimentar, criar e se expressar. E o Teens Post é mais um exemplo de como nossos alunos têm voz, vez e conteúdo para compartilhar.

CARNIVAL IN GARRIGA

The Carnival in Garriga was awesome. The students could dress up in funny clothes. There were carnival songs and everyone could play with their friends and talk with each other. Garriga allowed elementary school students to come dressed up, while middle school students were only allowed to come with painted faces. However, during recess the school provided carnival accessories. 

CAMBRIDGE EXAM

For Teens students had the great opportunity to take the Cambridge exam, a very important international test. Many of them got excellent marks. In respect for these students, the school made a ceremony to congratulate them. The Cambridge exam is made up of tests that determine an individual’s level of English. When you do the test, you receive a certification, which is valid in more than 20,000 universities, in almost every country in the world and determines candidates for scholarships and work abroad.

GARRIGA SPORTS

Garriga de Menezes has several sports:

Volleyball, swimming and handball are the most awarded ones

Garriga understands sport as a fundamental part of pedagogical work from an early age, since physical, social and psychological development are interconnected, supporting an education to conquer the world.

Our volleyball team has brought great results to Garriga, making us proud. In this sport, we have very strong teams that won many games. In this photo, the U-16 girls team won a gold medal in Liga Escolar

Garriga teams are highlighted in Handball. The students even received certificates of distinction for their performance in the matches! In Garriga, we have many students who play handball very well.

Swimming has a big and important part in the competitions. In Liga Escolar, our students always win many gold medals in different modalities.
