Marianum Comprehensive School
Location Groenlo
Location Lichtenvoorde
Finally
Marianum is part of the Stichting Carmelcollege foundation and provides secondary education at locations in Groenlo and Lichtenvoorde. The school employs more than two hundred staff and has some two thousand students.
Mission
Our managementteam consists of a core management (principal and two location heads) and teamleaders. There is also a support office that issues advice to the managementteam. Each team has team members and a number of staff who support the teammembers and the teammanagement.
School days start at 8.30 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. The average age of our pupils ranges from 12 to 18 years.
Alongside instruction, pupil supervision is a key element in our education and learning process, in which recognition of the differences between all pupils is clearly embedded. Every pupil has a mentor who supports that pupil in his or her development process. The mentor is the link between parents/pupils and the school, and is the pupil’s personal coach. We provide specific counselling and supervision for pupils who are hindered in their development processes by such issues as dyslexia, fear of failure and other socio-emotional problems. Affiliated to the school are a remedial teacher, a school social worker and a special educational needs coordinator. They are able to refer pupils to social and health services. Career counsellors inform pupils of possible further education choices.
Contact with the home front is another of our core activities. Parents are organised in a parents’ association and in each location there are parental sounding board groups who maintain structural contacts with representatives from the managementteam. These consultation groups ensure that pupil welfare is guaranteed. In addition, we have a representation council with members representing staff, parents and pupils.
In addition to our core activities, there is plenty of attention for extracurricular activities such as drama, concerts (both organised by our own pupils), projects relating to learning and working programmes (some pupils from our upper school in the Lichtenvoorde location combine their theoretical education with practical training: for specified periods, they are outsourced to businesses that represent the sector selected by the pupil), project weeks, international exchanges and exhibitions of artworks by our pupils.
As well as all these activities, pupils are also involved in social traineeships in the framework of Active Citizenship and Social Integration. These terms mean that schools must be able to demonstrate that they promote active citizenship and social integration by introducing pupils to and teaching them about the diversity in society. Pupils are introduced to volunteer work in such institutions as care homes, centres for the mentally disabled, nursing homes, sports associations and other social groups. As well as social traineeships, we also organise introductory traineeships for upper school pupils at the Groenlo location, and job preparation traineeships for upper school pre-vocational education (vmbo) pupils at the Lichtenvoorde location. During the introduction periods, pupils experience what it means to be an employee. There are also introductory traineeships for lower school pupils. This approach helps pupils in their choice of employment sector.
We train these pupils for further study in higher professional education or at university, after which, generally speaking, they will find employment either in the medical sector (NG), a technical sector (NT), an artistic sector (CM) or an economic sector (EM). Technology is in fact not only taught in the upper school at both locations, as reflected in the following newspaper article about the activities of our lower school.
During the final of the High Tech Challenge 2009, a robot competition for 2nd and 3rd year HAVO/VWO pupils, the Marianum won second prize. In the competition component where the robot had to complete an obstacle course, the pupils from Groenlo in fact came first. In the overall standings, the Staring College based in Lochem beat them, by a hair. The High Tech Challenge is a robot competition organised annually by the Centre of Excellence for Scientific Studies (Kenniscentrum Bètatechniek) in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences Arnhem-Nijmegen (HAN). The intention of this competition is to demonstrate just how far and challenging technology can be, and its role in business and industry.

Within our school, we also focus attention on the ideological orientation of our pupils in relation to (fellow) human beings and society as a whole. In the framework of our Lent campaign, for example, Marianum organises the Marianum Mondiaal regulary. The purpose of this campaign is to increase awareness of Third World problems. The school joins forces with an organisation active in a Third World country.
Pupils from our havo/vwo upper school learn to debate with other pupils from across the country in the Model European Parliament, and Model Lower Chamber, on social and European issues.
The receiving school organises the programme for the week. The objective of this Internationalisation programme is for example to introduce the pupils to the culture of other European countries, and that naturally includes day-to-day life in a foreign family. Such exchanges also help increase their foreign language skills. The Internationalisation programme is encouraged by the European Platform as a means of ‘removing borders’. The countries with which we currently organise exchange programmes are Belgium (Louvain la Neuve), the Czech Republic (Karlovy Vary and Chomutov), England (London), Spain (Barcelona and Bergara) and Italy (Perugia).
The Marianum participates in a number of international projects. To date, we have been involved in 2 Comenius projects. Over a 3-year period, the school works on the same project. One of these was the "All under one sky" project, the subject of which was astronomy. This was taught as part of the General Sciences block in years 4 and 5 havo and vwo. The project involved collaboration with schools from Italy, England, Turkey, Spain and even the Bermuda Islands. Via the school website, the pupils undertook a wide range of joint assignments relating to astronomy, and exchange the results. A number of teachers and pupils visited 2 foreign schools. As part of the visit, the pupils provided a presentation on the differences between daily (school) life in the Netherlands and Italy, took lessons, and were given a tour of the various school buildings.
The teachers worked together on the report on "All under one sky" for the European Platform, and a new topic for the English Science Across the World, the world’s largest school network.

This approach helps pupils in their choice of employment sector.Active citizenship
We promote active citizenship at school by actively involving the pupils in the running of the school. Every team, for example, has a pupil sounding board group in which pupils are asked to contribute ideas and share responsibility for the education process. There is also a pupil council. Parents and carers can even follow courses at our Evening Academy, offering them an opportunity to broaden and deepen their knowledge in a whole range of subject areas.Quality
All our activities take place within a quality model that assesses our development processes according to legal standards. Quality assurance not only means research into quality, but also investment in quality. Firstly in the quality of our staff. At Marianum, this process is becoming increasingly intensified. Over the past year, an extensive introduction programme was organised for new staff. Existing staff are also able to participate in the programme. There are training programmes for staff workers, support staff (including teaching assistants) and team leaders. Investments have been made in the quality of the contact persons for pupils with special educational needs and a group of teachers are being trained as dyslexia coaches and experts. Many of the teams are also investing in training in the fields of coaching and teaching theory.Marianum location Groenlo
At the Groenlo location there is a lower school that prepares pupils of differing educational abilities for general education in the upper school, or a vocational specialisation. In the latter case, they continue their education in Lichtenvoorde. At the Groenlo location, the upper school pupils in higher general secondary education (havo) and pre-university education (vwo) select a so-called profile. We offer 4 profiles: Nature and Health (NG), Nature and Technology (NT), Culture and Society (CM) and Economy and Society (EM).We train these pupils for further study in higher professional education or at university, after which, generally speaking, they will find employment either in the medical sector (NG), a technical sector (NT), an artistic sector (CM) or an economic sector (EM). Technology is in fact not only taught in the upper school at both locations, as reflected in the following newspaper article about the activities of our lower school.

Ideological orientation
Within our school, we also focus attention on the ideological orientation of our pupils in relation to (fellow) human beings and society as a whole.

Extracurricular activities
As concerns internationalisation, in the school examination programme for the upper school pupils, in year four, all havo and vwo pupils are required to complete so-called Internationalisation. This means that in collaboration with schools abroad, exchanges are organised. One week, pupils from the Marianum welcome their foreign counterparts, and for one week they visit the school abroad. During these exchange weeks, the children are accommodated in the home of the exchange pupils.The receiving school organises the programme for the week. The objective of this Internationalisation programme is for example to introduce the pupils to the culture of other European countries, and that naturally includes day-to-day life in a foreign family. Such exchanges also help increase their foreign language skills. The Internationalisation programme is encouraged by the European Platform as a means of ‘removing borders’.

Marianum location Lichtenvoorde
Also at our Lichtenvoorde location we operate a lower school that prepares pupils of different educational abilities for vocational specialisation in the upper school. In the upper school, there are four specialisations: Trade, Technology, Care & Welfare and a Mixed Theoretical specialisation. The total period of studies is 4 years. The period at our school is followed by senior secondary vocational education. We are particularly proud of the activities of our Trade and Administration sector, where we even run a realistic Practice Firm!Maligro
