Slovenia is a small country in central Europe, bordering with Italy, Hungary, Croatia and Austria. The number of inhabitants is approximately 2 million people. The capital city is Ljubljana. Our official language is Slovene. Although our country is small, our landscape is fascinating. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, and also the sea.

Dornberk is our small village in the Vipava valley. Most people living here have got vineyards, so we have many wine cellars. The wine is of good quality, so some producers export it to foreign countries. Our valley is also famous for its fruit production, especially because of peaches. The neighbouring village Prvačina hold a summer festival to honour this fruit.

Our school in Dornberk was built in 1977. It is quite small. There are 250 students. We have a subsidiary school in Prvačina and also two kindergartens with about 50 children.  In our school we learn the following subjects: English, Slovene, Domestic science, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Biology, Chemistry, P.E., Design and technology, Music, Art, Physics. We can also choose a variety of non-compulsory subjects, such as Italian, additional P.E. (basketball, football…), Computer science, Television and media and so on. We have got our own school library and a big gym. Unfortunately, the roof is leaking, so this year they started building a new gym, which will be more modern and better (hopefully waterproof ;))
