We like the 2 hour breaks because it gives us time to eat and study and even have fun with our friends. We also like the science class because the lab room has different interesting animals that keep us entertained during the  whole class and they also make us more interested in Science. We are really fond of the free internet which allows us to check our emails, answer to our  teacher’s emails and study when we  forget our books at home. One of the things we really enjoy about our school is the beautiful view of Lisbon in all the school windows not to mention the inspiring architecture. It is also amazing to see how many books there are in the old library and some of them are very hard to get,  some others don’t but anyway they are all different and very nice. We like the clubs for so many enthusiasts of so many different activities and the various trees, bushes, and even fruits and vegetables growing in our little farm.

Finally, we appreciate the places where we can play different types of games. You can also see not only the great entrance with a big tree, various different benches and seats with tables but also three different divisions where we can play football or other ball games.

It is also nice to observe the access to the cafeteria and the trees and bushes to play hide and seek. The stairs are also a good place to sit with a good access to the bar and other spots.

 To sum up, our school is a wonderful place to learn, have fun and meet friends.

When we come to school, we love to play football before class. During breaks, we like to play football, go to the “Bar”. We also really like it when the teachers don't come to class. We love eating in the school canteen, where they have lots of meh food. Our most favorite class / Subject is P.E, because we love playing basketball, football and volleyball. These are all of the things we like in school.

We prefer Gymnastics, English, Art, Portuguese and French. However, we like the other classes too. We are also keen on the BE/CRE, classrooms and our little farm. We like our friends, our teachers and the PBX caretakers because they help us a lot and always. We also like the way our teachers teach us and care about us. Sometimes we don`t have classes or in the break time we are used to going to the school backyard where we can have a seat and play the table games together.

These are the main things we like about school.

When I first arrived at Passos Manuel school,   I was really delighted with the surroundings and the beautiful bust of Passos Manuel founder while climbing up the staircases. All of a sudden, I came across a huge and ancient library full of memorable and ancient books that led me to the Principal of this school.Actually, a nice and posh lady welcomed me with a guided visit to the main rooms of this unforgettable school.

I couldn’t imagine that Passos Manuel had a full collection of embalmed animals in the biology room and so many antique fragile test tubes and other chemical tools in the physics and chemistry labs. In fact,everything surprised me from the backyard to the façade,not to forget the beautiful garden with its enormous and  leafy tree hugged by their kind and naughty pupils. Of course, I can’t forget the small school garden where pupils and students from different forms and ages plant and harvest vegetables and fruit.

I couldn´t also believe that there was  a Dean’s house but at  this time it wasn’t for the responsibility of school studies but for those who were in charge of students who required special needs.

Later on, this school changed its path. It was no longer a High School but a school which grouped other nursery and primary schools and all together dedicated its whole life to students who were looking for knowledge, love, care and attention of their dearest teachers.

As you all can imagine I have no words to describe this emblematic school, but I have feelings and emotions that remain on me since I first arrived at this school and I can’t get rid of them. I believe that I will still grow up there and have a lot to learn with my wonderful partners, students, caretakers and especially with you-my beloved Passos Manuel…

That’s all for now,

Best regards,

Prof. Célia Almeida
