Sp o r t s :
New goals on the black field:
Last week four new goals were put up on the
black field because the sports commission
wanted to improve playtime.
The principal idea was not putting new goals
on the black field, it was putting artificial
grass, but it is too expensive. That is why the
sport commission decided to bring the goals.
The school had to decide between spending
a lot of money and having full team football
competitions at school or improving the
playtime by putting new goals, also this way
it is more comfortable for Rafa because that
way he does not need to move the goals.
Paying for doing sport at school
This year it will be necessary to pay to do
sport at school. It is a decision of the school
council to cover costs that sport at school
produces.
This year, the first in the history of St Patrick’s,
it will be necessary to pay if you want to do
sport at school. The prize is 36€ per term ( if
you are in primary) and 48€ (if you are in
secondary).
This is a decision of the school council. It will have one. “I can’t believe what I see, there is

Diabolo
This year, school has started with a new
fashion called the diabolo. It is a hobby
which consists in making all the complicated
tricks you can imagine. The person who
introduced this hobby is Borja Lilly, a student
in the 4 year of E.S.O. Now, nearly all the
students from 3 of Primary to 4 of E.S.O.

Rafa will continue in the school:
The school’s sport manager, Rafa, told us that
it’s not true that he will be leaving the school
this year.
“This year I will be 60 years, so some people
thought that I was going to retire, the rumor
has travelled throughout the school, although
it is not true” said Rafa. “That's what I would
like to do but it is not possible at this
moment. I will be in the school for at least
one more year” he said laughing.
He also explained that before leaving the
school he needs to find a person able to
replace him, which according to what he
says, is something very difficult. “After I’ve
found this person and after I’ve taught him,
then I will go, but not at the moment”.
Rafa said that he was very impressed how a
false rumor has been able to expand so
quickly and asked us to say that it is a false
rumor, until the next 2 or 3 years!

Where is Pilar?
Ten days ago Pilar Goyoaga went to Bilbao
because she had some family problems.
Pilar two weeks ago asked school whether
she could have a special permission to go to
Bilbao to look after her mother. The school
gave her a companionable leave.
While Pilar was out a new teacher took her
place, her name is Pilar Arsuaga, but she
preferred us to call her Pili.
Maybe for all Pili is new in the school, but
she is not, she had been twenty six years
ago, but she only staid for fifteen days
because she found a better job on an other
school.
Adrian Agüeros.
Gill leaves the school because of
the new law:
The new law introduced by the Basque
Government provoked Gill to
leave the school.
“Unfortunately and
because of the new
law, we have fewer
hours of English in the
school (exactly 5 hours),
so we also have fewer
groups, and this situation
forced me to take a decision. You know the
result of it” said John Phillips.
The school’s English department’s chief also
told us that the ex-English teacher Gillian De
Gruchy (born in Liverpool) has been in St-
Patrick’s for sixteen years, the same as him. It
was a sad conclusion but there was an extra
English teacher in the school.

The missing teacher
One of our teachers didn’t come to school
last week and also she didn’t come a month
ago because of some private issues.
Begoña Elordui didn’t come to school last
month for two weeks because she had a
cold. So she stayed at home.
Also last week she didn’t come to school
because she is the tutor of first of ESO and
she went with them to Barria (A place were

That’s the mystery of the missing teacher.

Mariano has been the Drum Parade’s boss for
a lot of years. Last year he retires, and he has
not given any class since then. But, to out
surprise, he is going to organize the Drum
Parade this year again. He is going to start
with the preparations on the 4 th of
November. “We don’t mind who comes to
teach us the Drum Parade. But, as a tradition,
I think he should come” says a boy that is
going to take part.

New Subjects
This year in ESO there are some new
subjects. This is because the government has
obliged the schools to have Ethics,
Citizenship and Spiritual Education.
The government obliges teaching Ethics and
Citizenship. In the 1st year of ESO John
Phillips teaches Citizenship, in the 2nd year
Tim teaches Citizenship. In the 3rd year Igone
teaches Spiritual Education, and in the 4th
year Mac teaches Ethics.
The new subjects in the 3rd year of ESO are:
Audiovisuals, and Ethics. Audiovisuals with
Xavier Susperregui has been taught in the 1st
and 2nd year of ESO, but this year also in the
3rd year of ESO.

New Chinese classes in school!
This year Chinese classes have started.
Chinese teachers teach Chinese to pupils
from our school.
The person who organized it was Miren
Gabilondo, she presented some ideas to the
director of the school and she explained to
him what she would like to do, the director
accepted. Miren contacted the teachers,
Maria and Lin. She chose them because they
have similar ideas of teaching. “it’s very
important to learn other languages and
cultures when you are young,
communication is more than words” said
Miren Gabilondo. The classes have started
this year in October and Maria and Lin are
the teachers. They have a lot of experience,
Miren has been for 20 years organizing
Chinese courses for 20 years and lin has
been teaching for 6 years.
Although people are still starting to do
Chinese, there are places for much more
people.
Ainhoa Uribarren
It’s difficult to reach the
objectives of the LOE.
The LOE (Organic Education Law) is hoping
to take 4º year students to the B2 level
(equivalent of First Certificate) in Basque.
Nowadays it’s difficult to get the B2 level
with the hours of class given in school. Due
to this the school is going to try to put Social
Science in Basque in primary to raise the
level of Basque.
Agustin, Coordinator of the Basque
Department, says that a third of the students
in 3º of ESO will reach the B2 level if they
work hard. He says that another third could
do the same but have a problem with
speaking. As there are a lot of different levels
of Basque he thinks it ‘s almost impossible
that the other third achieves it. However, he
says that all the students have the necessary
level of grammar in Basque to get the B2
level.
Now it’s difficult to reach the LOE’s objective
but in the future it will be easier. However,
1/3 of the pupils that study today in 3º of
ESO will be able to reach the LOE’s
objective.
Ander Movilla
New law, new subject
The Basque government and the school
decide to introduce to school a new subject
called Ethics, to help us mature.
Last year the government established a new
law called L.O.E. Inside this law there is a
subject called Ethics.
The tutors in the secondary school John
Phillips, Tim Buckwell, Igone Arrazola and
Miguel are the teachers that are giving this
subject, but in different ways: In the first year
of ESO John is teaching it more individuality
(for each student), in the second year Tim is
teaching the Citizenship, in third Igone is
teaching Spiritual Beliefs and in fourth Mac is
teaching ethics.
Patricia Porta
Intensification at languages
This intensification at languages are
obligatory. The rule has been introduced by
the LOE. Tim, Arantxa, Caroline and Pilar give
this intensifications at languages (English,
Basque, French and Spanish) to all ESO
students.
These classes were introduced in May of last
year. The bosses of school thought that many
people need help in maths, for that reason
they put one hour of maths per week. “I
think it is a brilliant idea” said Juan Elvira.

First of Bachiller to Pyrenees
From the 20th of October to the 27th the
students of 1st of Baccalaureate, went to
the Pyrenees. They went with four teachers:
Mac, Igone, Tim and Mikel Ochoa.
They left school about 9:00 o’clock on the
bus when they arrived in Siresa, a village
next to the Pyrenees. They had to climb a
little bit to get to the hostel. They stayed in
3 different hostels and almost the activities
that they did were orientation, walking,
reading, writing and enjoying being I in a
natural environment.

Belgium come in spring.
For next year the opposite is planned. To go

years the exchanges were in February and in
May, but now things have changed.

Basque intensification trip
For the first time in school, 1st ESO students
have done a Basque intensification trip.
Last week 1st ESO B went to Barria, Alava,
and they did different kind of activities like:
football, basketball and art; but all in Basque.
They went with Begoña Elordui and Isabel
Sorarrain.
During this week 1ºESO A are in Barria doing
the same activities. They have gone with Eli
Etxebarria and Marisa Rodriguez.
“We had lot of fun and a very good time. We
also have learnt lot of Basque” says
Alejandro Dans, 1ºESO B student.

Cameras at School
A couple of weeks ago the school installed
some cameras on the entrance because last
year some parents didn’t want anybody
from outside the school to come inside or
students to go out the school with out
permission.
The cameras weren’t approved of by the
school council and that’s why the school
asked a man to look for people coming out
or in, there were other ideas, the ideas were:
to give cards to fathers and students so they
can came in, to make a door that closes with
security keys or a bell connected to
secretary, the problem of this idea was that it
would be to much work for them. None of
these ideas were approved of so the school
decided to install these provisional cameras.
John Phillips said: “Last year there were some
problems because some people from outside
came in and I think that’s why they installed
the cameras”.

Imacs change place
6 imacs computers were
moved from the IT lab 2 to
the Audiovisual room. Auritxe

Violence is not the solution.
The last Wednesday 8th of October two
pupils from the 3rd year of ESO had a fight.
The fight started in the “chapela” and it
finished in the 3rd B class.
 The two students, student A
and student B were in the
“chapela” when they
started fighting. Rafa
separated them, “my first
concern was to separate
them, and that’s what I did”
says Rafa. At 2:30 the fight started again,
student A said he wanted to hit student B.
the fight lasted until Maria Zuloaga came in
and saw them.
“I don’t like fights, but I also don’t like
punishing them, I think we should be near
them all the time and when there is a
problem talk with them” says Rafa.

Strange light from Axular
A strange powerful green light was seen in
Axular last week, very few though people
saw it, and they do not have any idea of
what could that be. This phenomenon hasn't
got any explanation yet, but many theories
have been mentioned, such us this: it was an
experiment in
the chemistry
laboratory.
Something like
his hasn't
happened
before, in terms
of strange phenomena, but it is also true that
things like goat on the black field have
happened.
This light was produced during a class
exchange, the reason for the small quantity
of viewers. I thought Axular was going to
bomb us added Ainhoa Uribarren one of the
witnesses.
Manuel Santos
The new dinning room staff and
food
This New Year the school has got a new
catering service, with the company Aibak.
This proposal was first made in May, when
Miguel, the previous chef and food buyer,
said he wouldn’t continue with his job in the
next year.
The dinning room staff has also experienced
a few changes with new cooks and kitchen
assistants. The menu has also varied a little.
The menu includes more legumes (twice a
week). There is also a bigger variety of fishes
and different styles. ìI like the Saint Jacob
very much as well as the hake with fried
garlicî said Lourdes Latova.
Manuel Santos
Unforeseen weather
On january the snow surprised us all inside
the St. Patrick's English school as the snow
began to fall while the students where in
class.
There was too much snow, so the buses
didn't come to the school to collect the
students and teachers had to organize their
students to know who was going to go home
and how. Some students went home walking
and other ones went by car, despite the
difficulties of driving with the snow. "I had a
lot of fun that day" said Manuel, one of the
students in 3rd. year "and I didn't had
problems going home as I live near the
school".

TV series

Survey
The majority of psychological experts can demonstrate de big influence of TV se-
ries watched by teenagers. Can TV series change our minds? Is it parents’ fault or ours?

In this survey we’ve tried to get ourselves concerned about teenagers’ TV likes and
dislikes. So, is it that psychologists want to restrict our TV joy or might be just to test our
respect to law?

We have asked the whole 3rd of ESO (56 Series, and then represented the results of
students) some questions related to TV the survey with some graphs.

Conclusion
Looking at the results we can appreciate that we don’t only
think about TV but we like watching TV especially series. We
usually have more than 1 TV in our house so we can have a per-
sonal TV so maybe parents think we only watch TV because they
can’t control what we see or we don’t see.

A lot of people of our age do
sports in their free time. Is that
because we want to be healthy or
we want to be the most popular in
the class?
In this survey we decided to try
to get to the bottom of this
thorny issue. So is the problem of
demic failures or not?
We asked the whole of the third
year (56 students in total) 8
questions related to sports and
then compiled them in some easy to
read graphs. We hope you like it,
so please continue reading.

Do you play sports? 5%

We can see that nearly all the students in the
third year play sports (94, 6%), while a small
group of students don’t play any sport (5, 4%).

Conclusion
These statistics are remarkable
for many reasons, but what stands
out most is the graph about the
time doing sports because some
students spend more time doing
sport than studying. The first pie
chart shows the general informa-
tion and the other pipe charts are
more specific. It seems that the
answer to the question in the
first paragraph is that students
care more about health and less
about popularity, the second ques-
tion in the second paragraph is
that the students care more about
doing sports, and that’s why there
are a lot of people that have
problems at school and they also
have difficulties in the exams,

ABOUT
TEACHERS

We always complain about teachers, but now we are going to tell the truth about this
controversial subject.
We will see which teachers teach best, are most difficult to understand or which is the
best teacher to go with to a desert island with and lots more questions.
We asked the whole third year, except the new people (who didn’t know much about
teachers at school); in total 54 pupils. In order to see easily the results we put them up
into graphs.

Questions about the teachers, each one with it’s graph David Crespo
Conclusion
Ander Movilla

St-Patrick’s English school, has been opened for more than twenty years.
It is one of the biggest schools in “Guipuzcoa”, Basque Country. There
are more than a hundred people working on it most of them teachers, but
in school the majority are pupils, and that’s why their opinion is also very
important.
1º. Who is your favourite teacher?
In this graph we can see that the most popular teacher Josemi (32%) followed by Blas
(20%). After all this the other teachers have very similar results (between 4% and 9%). But
I have to highlight Tim and Agustin; both have 9%.

It is easy to see who gives the most diffi-
cult exams, Simon with 50%. He is fol-
lowed by Isabel and Josean. From this
graph we learn that the subject is not im- 11%

and Begoña B.

This graph shows us that there is a

lot of variety in this issue. This
says us that there isn’t a teacher

had to say a teacher that picks on

done by a student in front of

also important answers.

Conclusion even when teachers try or try not to do that

certain thing.
It is difficult to say something general about
But there are exceptions for example in the 6º
this survey because it talks about very differ-

ent issues, all related with teachers. However,
he/she is speaking. There was a huge differ-
as there were a wide variety of teachers in
ence between Josean (23%) and Simon
each issue, we think that this probably is be-
(67%) and the others. Perhaps it is because
cause we can interpret in many different ways
we would like them to speak louder and
what the teachers say or do. So as a conse-
slower.
quence of this there are all kind of results,
