Beginnings of our school´s history date
back to September 1st, 1958. On that very day the Eleven-year school in
Dubová Street was opened in a completely new building, the construction
of which was finished in the first half of the year 1958. The school department
of Bratislava was looking for the new staff during the spring season, because
it was necessary to not only finish the construction, but also to complete
the modern equipment of the building,, to provide the right amount of students
and to engage skilled teachers until the new school year started. Rudolf
Štefanec, former school department employee, was charged with these tasks
and appointed the headmaster of the school. He was an experienced professional
man, excellent teacher and manager with a special attitude to science and
physical education. The preparatory work set high technical as well as pedagogical
requirements and therefore Mr. Štefanec asked Mr. Pavol Polóny Sr for help.
They have been working together and Mr. Polóny had experience from the construction
of the SNP students dormitory in Horský park, as well as from finishing
and organizing of the SAV Scientists Home in Smolenice. Mr. Peter Ondrejček
, an experienced teacher and cultural worker, was appointed the vice-headmaster,
responsible for the junior school. Overall preparations for school opening
consisted of classroom arranging, and providing the school with modern school
equipment. A gymnasium, a library and a school canteen were established,
and the surroundings were kept up. |
