A Century of Existence — How Grand and Magnificent It Sounds

Every significant anniversary obliges us to leave a written record of its importance. This monograph is dedicated to all those who have passed through our school during its one hundred years of existence. Viewed from a historical distance, a period of one hundred years represents an extraordinarily significant timeframe in which this institution can tell a hundred beautiful stories based on archival material and historical facts.

The celebration of our school's centenary highlights a rich past, which we have attempted to partially portray through this monograph. The history of the school and its life to date should be documented for future generations, as a remembrance of all that makes us proud from days gone by to the present.

Tradition and Generations of Students

Our school is known for being attended by up to three generations of students from the same family. Each generation carries rich and positive experiences which are passed on to the succeeding ones. The school fosters respect for diversity, mutual respect, and tolerance, aiming to encourage the personal development of each student and the responsibility of all participants in the educational process.

Values and the Educational Process

Over the years, the school has instilled values such as honesty, love, tolerance, honor, and loyalty in all its students. These values continue to form the basis of interpersonal relationships. The monograph seeks to convey the lessons, feelings, and impressions from past times, so that we can proudly raise our heads as part of a magnificent century-long history worthy of pride.

From the very beginning, educators have honed their acquired knowledge through various experiences, passing it on to generations of students, instilling in them universal human values and developing creativity. The educational process is based on good experiences from the past but is always adapted to contemporary social trends.

Achievements and Infrastructure

The development of our school spans a century and the transition from one millennium to another, representing a great responsibility to future generations, but also pride because a large part of history is woven into the magnificent building celebrating its hundredth birthday. The school achieves good results in various competitions at municipal, district, republican, and international levels. It is equipped with an IT room, a school public address system, well-equipped classrooms and laboratories, a gymnasium, and we also use the facilities of the Sports Center. The school library holds over twenty thousand library units and we have a media library. Most importantly, we have a good teaching staff, primarily with high professional qualifications.

Gratitude and the Future

We face daily problems that are an integral part of the life and work of the school, but we solve them with the joint support of employees and our dear students. We never believed we worked flawlessly, but we strive through conscientious work, aimed solely at the benefit of the child, to encourage all students to work diligently and consistently, develop a positive outlook on the future, and become worthy members of the community.

After finishing primary school, our students continue their education and find their life paths marked by the ideal of an honest and hardworking person and citizen. Most of our former students have proven through their work and life that we have succeeded in this.

Conclusion

As the central school in the municipality of Novi Bečej with the largest number of students, we achieve good results and are proud of all our workers and students who have spread the good name of our institution. This monograph is full of emotions and thoughts related to the past, present, and future of our school. We hope it will provide a complete picture, or at least a partially complete one, of a century of life and work of our institution.

We thank everyone who has left a mark in the rich history of our school and who has contributed to its affirmation through the past and present. Special thanks also go to the Provincial Secretariat for Education and Culture and the local government for enabling this monograph to see the light of day and commemorate this significant jubilee.
