Collège Marie Mauron Fayence France

Our school is a mixed secondary school of about 580 pupils aged between 11 and 16 years old. Our school is a state school which follows the curriculum set by the Education Nationale Minister who is our referential authority. The pupils study compulsory subjects such as French, Maths, Physics, Biology, History and Geography, Civics, Technology, Physical Education, Art, Music and languages as well as optional subjects such as Latin, regional languages and European Sections with extra classes in a chosen European language. Our school is located in a semi-rural area located around 30 km from larger cities including the famous seaside resorts of Nice and St Tropez. Our pupils come from various social and cultural backgrounds but we can say that they are quite privileged as compared to their mates living in the city. Indeed, they can enjoy a peaceful life in the countryside and they can enjoy a great variety of sport and hobbies. Yet, as some of our pupils have never had the opportunity to leave their hometown, they are somehow ignorant of different way of living elsewhere in Europe.

-  At each level our pupils are encouraged to attend optional classes referring to social issues such as tolerance, freedom of expression, violence…

-   In the official curriculum in Civics, they are taught the basis of our constitution, the basis of the International Convention for the rights of children.

-  All pupils aged 12 and above are taken to a court to attend a trial and therefore realize the functioning of our judicial system.

- Classes are organized around the issue of domestic violence.

-  For the elder, information meetings are organized to let them know about the need to get effective protection as far as their sexuality is concerned.

-  All pupils also take part in group works showing the dangers of the Internet and the necessity to get protected against any kind of abuse.

      - Classes are organized around the issue of domestic violence.

- For pupils who are likely to drop school before the passing of their final exam, sessions are organized to get an academic preparation for a basic exam called CFG (Certificate of General Studies) including a few notions of the rules on a workplace. 

- Pupils from the age of 14 are also encouraged to take an optional exam in first aid assistance called PSC1.

Best regards from the sunny side of Europe!

   Our secondary school is located in the centre of Los Realejos, a middle- sized town ( about 37,500 inhabitants) in the north  of Tenerife island. We offer compulsory secondary education ( for students aged 12-16), baccalaureate ( two years of schooling),  basic vocational training and middle-level and higher- level training cycles on Commerce and Marketing to about 770 students. Our students' parents work in tourism and construction sectors as well as in agriculture, most of them working class. Our municipality is strongly concerned about Children’s Rights and is currently a partner in a regional programme on this issue.

   As a result of the economic recession we have a lot of unemployed families and therefore an increasing number of pupils at risks of social exclusion who have low expectations in what concerns to school success. Apart from this, we have a significant number of migrants and also pupils with special needs who have learning, behavior and light mental disorders in our institution. These concerns are real and our school tries at least to minimize these striking problems.

   The first foreign language at the IES Realejos is English as for the second language the students can choose between French and German. The school has three computer classrooms, three Science labs, two Technology classrooms, a gym, a library and a cafetería. It is financed by the Regional Education Bureau. We educate children for being responsible, supportive, critical, tolerant, socially active, respectful towards diversity , and healthy adults.

   

We develop several crosscurricular projects ( Maths and Arts) and belong to several school networks concerning health education, ITs, sustainability, coeducation, cultural heritage and cooperative work. Our students are also offered to join several exchange programmes with German and French schools. We have also participated in several regional, national and international projects. From 2010 to 2012 our school was involved in a successful Comenius multilateral project and, students and teachers are eager to participate to other such activities which proved to be an important part in developing the abilities of communicating and socializing, of making friends and discovering and respecting the culture and values of each country and individual. Our students and our school board are very eager to work in the project for best outcomes and will have very creative and important contributions for this successful project.

Most of our students come from the Anatolian part of Turkey for economical or social reasons.As Tuzla is an industrisl zone, it gave home and working places to these families.But still it's not enough and Tuzla is going on developing in this aspect.Especially our region is famous for its ship yards and leather industry.New investments like the Tuzla Marina, will increse Tuzla's popularity and economy.
