For the sixth year, our school organized a national championship in badminton for students with special needs. On Thursday, 10th of November 2016, the competition in the gym of Miran Jarc Elementary School took place and welcomed 26 participants from ten primary schools with lower educational standards. At the opening ceremony, athletes, trainers and spectators were welcomed by our head teacher Mr. Matjaž Barič, and the Mayor of the Municipality of Črnomelj, Mrs. Mojca Čemas Stjepanovič. Our students prepared a number with attractive children’s games and music which has enrichened the cultural program.

But at the end of the contest Erik and Rok won the 9th and 12th place, Danijel was positioned from the 17th-24th place. All together the schools team won 4th place. Guys, congratulations!
