A great start of the new school year took place yesterday in Hafnarfjörður’s primary schools. Formal school activities for students begin, according to the schedule, today, Thursday the 24th of August. More than 4,000 children and young people are going back to school this autumn, of which nearly 400 are starting primary school for the first time. Hafnarfjörður has 11 primary schools, 9 run by Hafnarfjarðarbær, while Hjallastefnan Primary School and NÚ are self-employed.

The sun shone brightly on the attendees at yesterday’s festivities

Lækjarskóli’s staff took a rather unconventional approach to their start of school yesterday, relying on the weather gods during a morning setting. All students, parents, custodians and staff were summoned to campus at 9 a.m., and the 2023-2024 school year was formally set outdoors, in the arms of the entire school community.

The formal start to Lækjarskóli’s school year, was the most festive, and included the principal and various entertainment at the school. The sun was shining, and it seemed that cheerful children and young people were eagerly awaiting the upcoming school year. The first graders who said goodbye to their kindergarten this summer, are now experiencing life and work on a new level.

We wish you all a great start to the new/first school year!
