On December 12, the students of our school attended the lecture “Self-confidence among young people”. The lecturer was Antonije Aras, and the venue was the cinema hall of the Cultural Center from Vršac. After the lecture, the lecturer told the young people the following: “Self-confidence is something that is automatically expected to have. It’s something that’s also socially acceptable. It’s kind of a shame not to have it. What I forgot to tell you is that it’s okay not to have it. There are situations in life when we lack confidence. It’s okay to be afraid of life’s situations sometimes. Sometimes we think we’re less valuable, less good. However we think, those are words that have meaning, but they don’t have to have the meaning we give them. If thoughts separate us and hinder us on our personal path of growth and development, we cannot sometimes fight against them. But what we can do is that when they appear, we take action that will bring us closer to achieving our goals that are in line with our values.”

The students of our school were awarded within the framework of the 63rd art manifestation of children and youth “Paja Jovanović Award”:

-Aleksandra Mršić (III1) – award for creativity, mentor Ivana Milošević, prof.

It was estimated that at the end of 2022, 39 million people were living with HIV. In the same year, 630,000 people worldwide died from causes related to HIV infection (51% less than in 2010 when 1.4 million died), while 1.3 million people were newly infected with HIV in 2022, a reduction by 38% compared to 2.1 million in 2010, but it is far from the goal for 2025 – 335,000 new HIV infections. Among children, a reduction of new HIV infections was registered by 58% compared to 2010 (130,000 versus 310,000).
