Dabrowski Mazurka
Poland has not yet succumbed.
As long as we remain,
What the foe by force has seized,
Sword in hand we'll gain.
March! March, Dabrowski!
March from Italy to Poland!
Under your command
We shall reach our land.
Cross the Vistula and Warta
And Poles we shall be;
We've been shown by Bonaparte
Ways to victory.
POLISH ANTHEM
Brief history of PolandThe recorded history of Poland began in 966 when its ruler accepted
Christianity and joined the community of European nations. Weakened
internally, the country gradually succumbed to the combined pressure from the
Prussian (the future Germany), Russian and Austrian empires, which
partitioned the country between them. So in 1795, Poland disappeared from the
map of Europe for the next 123 years. The irony of history is that Poland, under
its king Jan Sobieski, had earlier saved the Austrian Empire and Europe from a
Turkish invasion. An independent Poland re-emerged under Józef Pilsudski at
the end of World War I. A major achievement was the building of a modern port
and city – Gdynia – which was the only such undertaking in recent European
history. In 1920, Poland's army stopped the USSR from invading Europe. The
clouds of war gathered again and Poland's neighbours Germany and Russia, the
two most powerful military regimes in Europe, invaded in 1939, plunging the
nation into chaos and despair under even worse bondage. It is from here that
the history of the Polish refugee children's story begins. Towards the end of the
war in 1945, Poland was betrayed by the Allies at the Yalta Conference and was
ceded to the Soviet Union. Poland regained independence 50 years later when
its peaceful Solidarity movement (Solidarność), led by the nation's future
President Lech Wałęsa, was instrumental in the collapse of communism and the
Soviet Union.
The Secondary School number 9 of Maria Dabrowska
(Powiatowy Zespół Nr 9 Szkół im. Marii Dabrowskiej) is the school of over 100 years of tradition.
Our school’s philosophy is combining the tradition with the
newest methods of teaching. The memory of the past (the school’s beginnings, difficult years of Second World War and the Nazi
occupation, as well as the transformation of political and social life of Poland for the last 30 years) motivate the students and teachers to create the future on the basis of this experience. One of the examples of such
an approach is The Day of Remembrance that has been regularly observed in our school as a form of recollection of the teachers who were
the victims of the war. The another example is the recent, pompous celebration of a hundredth birthday of our school. But in our school
calendar there are numerous events promoting the European culture, learning foreign languages, English and German in particular. We are in the middle of the intense cooperation with our partnership school in Germany. All these examples prove our school community to be willing
to communicate with Europe and the world.
At first the pedagogical school educated future kindergarten, elementary and
secondary school teachers. For almost 20 years the school has been
functioning as a regular secondary school.
Now in our school there are classes of: mathematics and informatics profile humanistic profile language profile European integration profile
