Games & Sports classes at Rjukan Vgs

"Work without play makes Jack a dull boy" Students at Rjukan Vgs have a well balanced curricullum which allows every class to have at least one and half hours of games and sports every week. This helps them to keep a healthy body and mind. During the games and sports lesson, students are guided through a series of general body fitness exercises by the gymnastic teacher. Also a number of competetive sports are available in the sports hall including football, basketball, hocky, vollyball and mountain climbing. Students are also taught how to carry out first aid to an injured sportsman during any game. Every Wednesday 2.00 -3.30pm Geoffrey joins Astry and Arve the two sports teachers during the Electrical and Mechanical students sports lesson.

Gaza Peace Demonstration.

On the 13th January 2009, Rjukan town council mobilised residents to parade at the town square. This is was a way of joining the rest of the world to have a peaceful demonstration against the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Residents had to match through Rjukan town with lit candles before assembling at the town Cinema hall for a speech from the town Mayor and a few other members from the town council. Geoffrey and Peter had to act as responsible members of the community by joining the peaceful demonstration.
