The choice of Guilds<\/h2>\n

Guilds are social, sporting and creative elective mandatory offers. The old term \u201cguild\u201d makes it clear that every guild involves a goal \u2013 a choir or theatre performance, an exhibition, the acquirement of certain skills, contributions to school-life, sports competitions. The guilds are equivalent in value to school subjects \u2013 compulsory, but without grading.<\/p>\n

There are classical favourites among the guilds but also a varying range of possibilities according to interest shown. Particularly popular are the sport guilds and the theatre.
