The question of introducing a common school uniform for the 2011-2012 academic year was considered. The decision, that all Gymnasia students will have a knitted waistcoat of light gray color with an embroidered Gymnasia logo as an essential element of the school uniform beginning with September 1, was reached after a stormy debate. The Board Members discussed placing the orders for manufacturing the waistcoats, their cost, approved other items of the uniform.
The next stage, at which the question of the uniform will be discussed, will be all-Gymnasia parents’ meetings held next week already.
The Board members also discussed the production of diaries for the next academic year, provisionally discussed routine repair arrangements, etc.
An important event in the history of the Gymnasia took place on March 12, 2011. The First City Gymnasia was officially recognized a regional testing centre for setting the Cambridge International ESOL examination (the First Certificate in English). 19 Gymnasia graduates took the test in four types of speech skills in the presence of the British Council examination board (from Kyiv). We are expecting results in April.

They were accompanied by Yevhen Vlizlo, the RSA Deputy Chairman, Maya Kulyk, the Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of the RSA, and Ihor Lytvyn, the former Ambassador of Ukraine to China.
The guests saw round the Gymnasia, talked to its pupils, looked at the computer lab presented by other Chinese, discussed possible perspectives of cooperation with the administration. Finally, the Chinese gave a present of money to improve the physical infrastructure of the institution.
Everyone knows that 12 foreign languages are studied in the Gymnasia. If there were specialists, the administration would manage to increase the number of studied foreign languages. We call on foreign native speakers, living in Cherkasy, to cooperate with us.
By popular request, we’d like to inform that Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Hebrew, Polish, Czech, Italian classes take place on Saturday. Other foreign languages are studied at the basic lessons.
