Student convention 2026
Friday 7 – Sunday 9 August 2026
A warm welcome to the student convention again, all jubilarians!
Set for the weekend of August 7th – 9th, 2026
This could be the most beautiful adventure of the summer for those of you who are 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, 65 or 70 years old at the school. We warmly welcome you to this year's student convention!!!
The program has several good items. The theme hour, time for reminiscing and fellowship with old friends and acquaintances, the opportunity for community choir, conversations over good meals and a cup of coffee!
We have experience that many people have wanted to meet at such gatherings, and we think it is very nice. Perhaps the good turnout comes from people talking to each other and agreeing to encourage other classmates from Bakketuntiden to meet this weekend. We hope that many will do the same this year! We know that several litters have created their own groups on Facebook, - a good idea, then you have a good opportunity to find each other and, for example, agree to travel together...? Making a phone call to "littermates" is also an option.
Bakketun today appears as a school facility with a historical feel! We look forward to welcoming you for a visit! Maybe you will find your old room again? Maybe you remember the time on the wing with a book and a flashlight under the duvet, or the supervising teacher who walked quietly around the hallways and said good night to all the students. Funny episodes that happened with students or teachers in class, during free time, on school trips, in the cafeteria... Hearing for the younger jubilarians what it was like before their time and for the older ones hearing how the school is run today, is usually a highlight of the student evening on Saturday.
The memories you share will probably be many – we have experienced that time and time again at these student gatherings. Many people tell us that the Bakketun Year has left its mark. In the past, the jubilarians have been happy to give a gift to the school during the party. There will also be an opportunity to do so during this student gathering. We would like to thank you very much for everything that can help support the school's continued operation, whether it is by being a good ambassador for your school so that we still have students, or by supporting us financially.
We look forward to sharing the convention weekend with you!
Welcome!
Greeting
