Semi-annual news from grammar school
Dear parents, guardians, students, graduates and supporters of OPEN GATE,
The first month of this calendar year is coming to an end and, of course, it ends with the first half of the school year. The weather and temperatures are around zero and correspond to this part of the year.
During this week, there were, among other things, three major events: two new and one traditional.
On Tuesday, the "No Taboo Conference" was held successfully, and now the evaluation is being processed and prepared by our Counseling Services colleagues and we will summarize the most interesting points in the near future and place it on our website.
On Wednesday, the first "Winter Ball" took place with the Student Council‘s initiative. Please do not confuse it with the traditional prom; this event is mainly for students and takes inspiration from American school balls. Also, of course, there will be news and photos.
The main event of this week was held today, on Thursday, when the semester certificates were handed to our students. I would like to remind you that a traditional Czech grade appears on the state certificates, which in OG is calculated by transfer from the total percentage rating originating from the average of many categories in individual subjects. All details and results are accessible to our students and parents on the Managebac platform.
Every semester we bring you detailed statistics, so we’ll of course do the same this year.
Most of our students have again taken advantage of their amazing potential, the above-standard approach and the environment we are trying to create for them to achieve awesome results. The results are extraordinary again.
Out of 280 students, 272 received their semi-annual report (4 are abroad, 4 have postponed classification). It is a great pleasure to announce that 184 girls and boys at OPEN GATE (almost 68%) passed with distinction. Additionally, 67 of them received straight A’s from all their subjects. Congratulations!

This semester was, along with new grades, skills and knowledge, full of experiences and emotions, and successes and failures, just as it always is, both in school and life. And this will not change in the upcoming semester. So let me finally thank my colleagues, the OPEN GATE employees, for their honest and hard work and I wish our students another successful semester. Students and colleagues, enjoy the long weekend.
And to all of you, have a great time and enjoy yourselves.
Until next time,
Petr Chára
