School News

By
Georgia Linardou,
C1
I:Why did you run for
the school council and the
presidency?
G: To begin with, one of
the most important reasons was my willingness
to organize our school
and the school council .
Also, I had a lot of ideas
that I wanted to
materialise.
I:How did you manage to
convince your peers to
vote for you ?
G: I believe that my electoral speech played a very
important role in my election. In my speech I delineated my plans for the
future. Moreover, I never
coerced my fellow students to vote for me. Furthermore, I always told
them the truth.
I: You mentioned earlier
about your plans for the
future, what are those?
G: First of all, I would
like to enhance the school
equipment. Also, I would
like to organise some
events that will update the
cultural level of our
school.
I: How do you feel about
being president?
G: To tell you the truth, I
am not really happy because I wasnt elected by

my peers but by the

school council. However,
since I now hold the position of the school president , I am looking forward to improving our
school.
I: is there a good cooperation among the members of school council?
G:In general there is .
However that depends on
me and how I organize
them as well as how I
distribute the responsibilities to each member.
I: How often do you have
meetings and what are the
issues that you discuss?
G: We havent set a specific day yet. In general
we have meetings when it
is necessary. When our
schedule is set I believe
that we will have meetings at least once a
month. As far as the issues that we discussed are

concerned , members
(including me ) usually
present the problems or
issues that concern our
school . Afterwards, we
examine each subject and
we decide which are the
possible solutions.
I: What about the future ?
Do you imagine yourself
holding in a position in
the government?
G:My engagement with
politics is not in my future
plans. I am not interested
in it. I dont like it and I
dont want to be a politician
I: Ok ,thank you very
much , have nice day!
G: You re welcome!
Have a nice day. Bye !
Here are the final results:

Lake Mornos is an artificial

lake constructed in order to
create another reservoir to
meet the growing needs for
the water supply of Athens. It
was created in 1979 with
construction of a dam on the
River Mornos. The lake is
located in the center of the
prefecture of Fokida, covering the waters of a basin west
of Lidoriki that was formed
between the mountains Giona

proud of her. Volunteering is very important into our lives. It's
important for all people to be able to offer
any help they can to
people they need it in

ter not only from Mornos river but also from

tributaries, which flow
directly into the lake.
The Mornos aqueduct
that carries the water of
the lake in Attica, is one
of the largest in Europe
with a total length of 188
km. It crosses the prefectures of Fokida, Viotia
and Attica. In this way a
total of 15 tunnels have
