On Sunday, 9 October, on the day of Saint John the Theologian, Savremena International School celebrated its School Day. At the school restaurant, Savremena received the priest’s blessing, followed by the bread-cutting ceremony.

Jovan Popović, Savremena’s Year 11 student and this year’s host, cordially welcomed the guests, who included the teachers and the students who wanted to spend this Sunday in a special way, hear some good music and enjoy good company.

Saint John the Theologian – Celebrating knowledge at ISS

The patron saint of Savremena International School, Saint John the Theologian, was the youngest of the 12 apostles. Choosing the day dedicated to Christ’s youngest disciple as the School Day was no coincidence in more ways than one.

The saint’s symbol is an eagle, which also makes a prominent appearance in the ISS logo. The whiteness of the eagle represents youth, whereas its strength and dignity represent a young person treading along the path of knowledge. This is why on this day, Savremena International School celebrated its students’ accomplishments, proud of the knowledge they are acquiring.

Take a look at how Savremena’s students and their teachers spent this day:
