Storhamar Secondary School in Innlandet has been working systematically for several years to increase student participation and create a good learning environment for everyone at the school. Now they have been recognized for this important work. The award will be presented on November 30.

The Queen Sonia School Award is awarded every two years to a school that has distinguished itself in fully promoting equality and inclusion.

– This year's winner has clear and ambitious goals regarding the school learning environment and working towards social inclusion and equality. Good, systematic work is visible both in the measures and in the results achieved at the school, says the chairwoman of the jury, Inga Bostad.

The school has developed the so-called the Storhamar model to actively engage students in the way they work. Students experience being part of the school, not just being there to learn, prepare for college or train for work. It was the students themselves who took the initiative from the school in submitting applications this year.

He cooperates widely

The school systematically cooperates with the police, health Service and childcare services, undertaking various environmental protection activities. An example is the "Active Russ" project, which is being carried out together with the police for the eighth time this year - we read in the jury's justification.

The school also implements several projects related to education and ensuring a good transition from junior high school to secondary school.

-A generous and supportive environment

Director Morten Rosenkvist from the Directorate for Education congratulates both the students and staff of Storhamar on the award.

“The award recognizes the important work the school does to create a friendly and supportive learning environment that is essential for everyone's professional and social development,” he says.

Her Majesty Queen Sonja herself took the initiative to fund a school prize for Queen Sonja, and it was awarded for the first time in 2006. It is the state authorities who nominate schools for this award.

The award consists of a diploma, a cash prize of NOK 250 and an engraving titled "Growth" made by Her Majesty The Queen.

The Education Directorate is managing the school award for Queen Sonia and has appointed a jury to select this year's winner. Now, for the first time, the award will be presented on behalf of the Queen by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon at Hamar Secondary School in Storhamar on November 30, 2023.

The jury's full justification, as well as more information about the award and criteria, can be found at udir.no.
