A reference point of our school is the event hall, which owes its existence to the participation of students, teachers and parents. The events hall has the necessary equipment - computers, internet connection, projection machines (projectors), microphone and sound installation, air conditioning - for the holding of school holidays, meetings as well as days aimed at students, teachers and parents.

so that teaching is more direct and fun for students. All laboratory computers are connected to a local network and the Internet, and students are trained from the first grades of high school to work in a networked environment.

Each student works alone on the computer when the teaching unit requires individual practice, while when the teaching unit is accompanied by group activities students can collaborate creatively. Students become familiar with the use of software, safe internet browsing and learn to take advantage of the endless sources of knowledge it offers. 

The laboratory is used by the students in the informatics course and for the cultivation and strengthening of digital skills in the context of some groups (Robotics Club, English Club, History Club). Most of the computer classes consist of a maximum of 12 students so that each student uses their own computer.
