On November 6, the “Day of Pies”. The school smelled of cakes since early morning. Everyone who wanted bought, feasted and was served delicacies baked with love by the teachers, their parents and teachers.

We are happy with the abundance of cakes, the invention of bakers and the activity of tasters. Thank you all. We wish you as many sweet and warm moments as possible, colored with kindness.
Stress management
Exams are one of the most important challenges and tests in life, and their results depend not only on preparation, but also on your psychological state, ability to control your emotions and feel good during exams. Stress is usually caused by doubting one’s own strength. Learning how to manage stress increases your self-confidence, as does your ability to overcome challenges more easily.
On October 17, psychologist Evaldas Karmaza met with Joniškis “Aušros” high school students, who reminded them how to distinguish real needs from short-term desires, and drew attention to the importance of daily routine and health-friendly nutrition. After all, sometimes the simplest measures help to focus, overcome excitement and stress. The lecture was interesting, motivating, inspiring to act and search. Thanks!
