That is exactly the time that the El Limonar International School Murcia needed yesterday afternoon to offer online to its school community a presentation ceremony of its new Secondary and Baccalaureate campus in Montevida (La Alberca), which began its activity at early last September, with the start of the school year.
A short act, but no less emotional for that.
Broadcast on its website and YouTube channel with translations in English and Spanish. In the event, which was given all the solemnity that circumstances allow, the directors of Cognita, an international educational group of 78 schools to which ELIS Murcia belongs, actively participated - the teaching staff, parents and students.
Hundreds of members of its school community and even employees in the different companies that have made this new campus possible attended through their screens. Obviously this format was not his first choice from the beginning.
"Since before the summer we had planned an inauguration event for this new campus, but unfortunately the evolution of the pandemic has forced us to postpone it for a better occasion.
Of course, we did not want to give up that our community could already know these new and fantastic facilities "says its director, Vanessa Grimward. As the Covid-19 health pandemic does not allow face-to-face visits to the school with the ease that would be desired until parent meetings with the tutor are usually held online, a virtual presentation ceremony was chosen. The program began with an intervention by Chris Eversden, ELIS Cognita Executive Director, and Vanessa Grimward, ELIS Murcia Director, who were in charge of commenting on the details of the new campus, built with the most advanced construction techniques and based on environmental criteria that make it the most sustainable educational center in the Region of Murcia.
"At this time we would have been celebrating with you the inauguration of the facilities in the Montevida urbanization.
That event will come, but in the meantime it seemed very important to share an online event for the time being that serves as a presentation of ELIS Murcia Montevida to our community.
Elis Murcia It is 30 years old and with this project I believe that we are well on track for the next 30, "said Vanessa Grimward. Chris Eversden expressed himself in similar terms, who highlighted the magnificent facilities available to the campus to promote the development of subjects such as creativity, design, art or science along with, of course, subjects such as language and mathematics.
"One thing is really important.
As the school's student body grows and changes in the coming years, we have enough space to adapt our facilities to their needs," explained the group's executive director. This was followed by a small representation of different members of the educational community of Cognita Europe and Spain, who recorded some words of congratulations and welcome.
They were joined by parents of Secondary or Baccalaureate students, who briefly commented on what they think of the new campus and how they believe that these new facilities will benefit their children's learning. Then came the highlight of the event: the guided tour in which parents were able to see from their homes the new campus where their children study, with a wealth of data on sustainability, flexibility and digitization that characterize this center and guided by three students who alternated Spanish and English.
They played Cicerone in the visit through the most outstanding spaces of the school, such as laboratories, auditorium, sports courts, dining room, study room, entrances, modular classrooms and study and leisure areas outdoors. BEST FACILITIES IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC ELIS Murcia and Cognita conveyed to the school community and other stakeholders how exciting it is to inaugurate modern and functional facilities, which are adjusted to the changes in the way of acting imposed by the pandemic.
