School Life

Children grow up and develop in a multicultural and friendly environment. They receive a quality education in the English language. Nutritious catering, a wide range of after-school clubs, extracurricular activities and service to the local and international community in the context of an intercultural environment are parts of our daily school life.

School Lunches

Our professional cooking team, led by head chef Tomáš Neuvirt, prepares and serves lunches in the comfortable dining room in the PORG gymnazium building.

The Menu is available at www.strava.cz.

Orders, selections, and meal cancellations policy

Each student has their personal canteen account. After payment and crediting the amount to the student’s canteen account and activation, it is possible to order meals.

Lunch must be ordered or cancelled no later than one working day in advance by 9:00 am. Students can choose one option from the menu every day.

Non-cancelled lunch can be picked up in the canteen from 11:30 am to 2.30 pm.

It is impossible to order or cancel lunch on the picking-up day.

Uniforms

The Dress code policy reflects our values and reinforces our school’s high expectations and academic achievement culture. We expect that each student comes to school appropriately and smartly dressed.

All students are required to dress according to the Uniform policy. 

Our school uniform is important to us. It is one way we identify ourselves as a school community as well as promoting a strong, cohesive identity. It is this team spirit which supports high standards and expectations in all areas of school life. It encourages a balance between different groups represented in the school and enhances security. 

Smartness and high standards of appearance are always expected. We have a required school uniform for several reasons: 

  • Uniforms unite the school. Students commit that they abide by the community rules when putting on their PORG uniforms. 
  • Uniforms reduce distractions. We are focused on achieving success. 
  • Uniforms look professional. Pupils look neat and ready to learn. 

Children are required to wear a uniform from Monday to Thursday.

A part of the school Dress code policy is Casual Friday, which means that children can come to school in casual clothes and express their personalities.

Red or white polo shirt/white shirt with school logo
Grey or black pants/trousers*
