NEWS
The school at the Russian Centre in Scotland Haven is celebrating Victory Day the 9th of May. At the classes, teachers will be telling children about the unforgettable events of World War II and its heroes. The children of the class managed by Victoria Zierwogel were learning poems and taking part in the competition organised by Znanie schools network. In the evening on 9th of May children and their parents will gather for the Victory 70 years’ anniversary Gala Concert. One of the school competition winners, Dana Freimuta, will be reading the poems. Let’s meet together on 9th of May at 16:30 at Banqueting Suite , Glasgow City Chambers, 281 George Square.
On the 27th of May RCS Haven will be holding the last SQA Russian Higher exam. It will be sat by 8 students who were preparing for it for the whole last year and passing intermediate assessments. Let’s wish them luck. To replace the SQA Higher format, two new Russian for Life and Work Awards qualifications were introduced with numerous levels of complexity, highest of which, according to their creators’ ideas, are fully comparable to the abolished exam. RCS Haven is beginning to register students wishing to get this qualification next year. Compared to Russian Higher, this qualification is more flexible and will allow students with various levels of preparedness to sit the exams in accordance with the level selected. Receipt of this certificate gives extra points when applying for both college and university courses, as well as being an important element for one’s CV, proving the level of knowledge. A 10% discount is given to students registering early – from May until end of August.
Every Wednesday, from 19.00 to 20.00, we invite you at the Centre “Haven” for an English class. Classes take place in the RCS Haven 11 Duke Street, Glasgow, G40UL
