Hraunvallaschool celebrates its 20th anniversary

A strong school community based on friendship, cooperation and responsibility.

Hraunvallar School in Hafnarfjörður celebrated its 20th anniversary yesterday with a festive programme at the school. The anniversary celebration marked an important milestone in the school's history, which over these two decades has established itself as a strong and ambitious primary school in Hafnarfjörður.

Precious continuity of nursery and primary school

Hraunvallar School opened in 2006 and has, from the outset, focused on a comprehensive educational journey for children, where friendship, cooperation and responsibility are the guiding principles in all school activities. The school is unique in that it houses both a nursery and a primary school, allowing children to begin their schooling at a young age and complete it within the same school community. This continuity has proven invaluable for the pupils' success and well-being.

At the ceremony, the head teacher of Hraunvallar School and the mayor of Hafnarfjörður gave speeches. In his speech, Mayor Valdimar Víðisson emphasised the great success achieved in the school's work and praised the pupils, staff and parents for creating a strong and stable school community. „Over the past twenty years, Hraunvallar School has built a community of which we can truly be proud. Here, professionalism, warmth and a commitment to the well-being and success of our pupils prevail.“ the mayor said, among other things.

The address also noted that the school's pupils were dynamic, talented and ambitious, and that such young people are an invaluable resource for the community as a whole. The staff of the school were also thanked for their professionalism, dedication and daily work on behalf of the students, and the important role of parents and the good home-school partnership were highlighted.

Open house and the results of the Grúsk days

The programme for the anniversary celebration also included speeches from students and musical performances from the musical. Grease and a performance by Króli. After the programme in the hall, there was an open house where parents and pupils could find out more about the results of the Grúsk Days and the school's activities. Hraunvallar School is today a health-promoting primary school that works purposefully towards the well-being, good health and prosperity of its pupils, staff, and the wider community. The school's twenty-year history is a testament to its ambitious educational work and a strong foundation for the future.
