Dear students and families,
We hope you had a fantastic summer and enjoyed your holidays, and we also hope you could rest, disconnect and got your batteries recharged.
The new academic year will start soon, which is conditioned by the socio-sanitary circumstances due to the COVID pandemic.
We welcome you to the EHTG and take the chance to inform you about important issues to face the academic year. It will be singular but will help in training continuity as well as accompanying the development of the students and the School.
We, as most of you, start a new stage, not in the centre but as for responsibility. As you know, this year there is a change with regard to the administration of the centre. We take charge with a lot of responsibility and enthusiasm, convinced that we shall do our best to follow the path of quality and excelence that distinguishes the school.
Good morning to all of you. My name is Jordi Garcia and I am the director of the School. I am lucky to lead an extraordinary team next to Raül Cuadras, school supervisor; Gràcia Martín, secretary; Imma Julià, pedagogical coordinator, and Miquel Serramitja, administrator. From now on, the School is also yours. I hope you will enjoy it but also that you will care for it and make it a little bit yours.
We will gradually know you during the year, as in these initial moments it might be difficult. However, we will be willing to do it during this time we will share.
I am very fortunate to lead a fantastic, dynamic and close team that you will know from now on.
I have been working for a lot of time in the sector you start out in today. I can tell you that it is exciting, but it is also hard and requires dedication, passion and commitment, and that’s what I ask of you.
Also, I demand something of you: respect each other, enjoy a lot, have fun and make friends. I strongly believe what you start today will be with you all your lives.
Finally, we cannot forget about the regulatory framework in the centre. You must know and respect it in order to ensure a good coexistence. Your tutor will explain it and clear up your doubts.
You start to live a time of freedom, a post-compulsory training period, that you have to enjoy as I told you before, but I also hope you will be responsible.
I also want to say that not only is it important for you to acquire the required knowledge, but also you need to know that the most important thing is your evolution as human beings. I would like you to be honest, to have principles, critical thinking and autonomy, but above all to be human, tolerant and happy.
The organisation plan of the School (Pla d’Organització de Centre, POC) for the academic year 21-22 was published in the web at the beginning of September. This plan will be revised and updated according to the sanitary situation throughout the year, with the participation of the whole educational community. The organisation plan includes the protocols to be followed in the everyday life at the School: gradual entrance and exit, personal hygiene, security distances, mask use by everyone, responsibility statement, etc.
When lessons start, on September the 13th, tutors will tell the students a summary of this plan. We all must make an effort to ensure that this set of rules becomes the tool allowing the development of the academic year in the most sensible and creative way.
The meetings with families will be convened in October.
This is a year starting in the middle of great uncertainty that will develop according to the pandemic evolution. However, we have to be aware that, maybe in a greater extent than expected, it will also be a formidable and profitable year, always depending on mutual commitment, responsibility and reliability.
As a team, professionals, students and families must work together to take care of everyone and jointly make a step forward in the path of knowledge and learning representing the School.
On behalf of all the teachers and staff at the School, we wish you all the best.
- Jordi Garcia, director
- Raül Cuadras, school supervisor
- Gràcia Martinez, secretary
