Cultural initiatives
Every school year lectures and different sorts of communications are part of our curricular and /or extra-curricular activities – careers, health issues, going to university are some of the subjects we may be dealing with. Most of the times these experts from the outside world are invited by the students or the teachers participating in the different school projects. We have three main areas of studies – Humanities, Science Studies and Economics.
Students can also participate in the Maths Olympic Games and the Biotechnology Olympic Games.
Sports initiatives
The school volleyball team is part of the national volleyball federation! Our girls are great! During the school year there are many different sportive initiatives.
Some of the boys play rugby or football, but the school has not got its own team!

As requested by our Portuguese teacher, we are here to post regarding the right to vote at the age of 16.
Vote at 16, yes or no? (Portugal)
According to our laws, we are legally adults at the age of 18. An age that opens the door to the legislative vote, to take the driving license for light vehicles and to be able to work full time.
However, we start to have duties with the society earlier, at the age of 16. Until we are 16 years old, our parents or guardians are responsible for our actions, but from there we are seen and treated as young adults by the society, having to obey rules established for those who are considered adults, this is, a person aged 18 years or over.
At 16 we can integrate the active society, have our first job, discount for the social security, begin to take the motorcycle driving license, beyond other things. We can also think of marriage and constituting a family and in case we commit a serious crime we will be judged in the eyes of justice as adults and punished as if we were 18 years old.
Is it fair that a 16 year old, who is "mature" enough to comply with certain requirements for the society, isn’t treated as an adult, and isn’t given the same rights as adults, particularly with regard to voting mandatory?
If between 15/16 years we are "forced " to make choices about our future, namely whether or not we continue our educational background, what area should we follow, what profession/school we should choose... Why don’t they let us also choose the destination of the country?
