Silivri Turgut Reis Primary School
- Turgut Reis is a primary school of about 468 students and 28 teachers. The school has four special
classes for Kindergarten students and one special education class which offers many activities for
the students who have learning difficulties. Although situated close to the economically advantageous
city centre, most of our students come from socially disadvantaged backgrounds due to the
increasing rates of migration and divorced parents. As a result the school is committed to enhancing
all students' access to opportunities for Erasmus projects. One of the aims of our school is to prepare
students to live in a changeable society. Turgut Reis school is interactive & classes are equipped
with new numerous computer programmes as we want our students to develop qualities of self-
confidence & creativity as well as the ability to confidently use the latest technology. The school also
offers many cross curricular activities: sports, art, drama, science. Our school has 1 guidance
service, 1 class of mind games and 1 Stem-Maker workshop. Our students are given opportunities to
take part in many enrichment projects throughout the curriculum, one of which is an e-Twinning
project “Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow”. Also, "Mission into Future, a quest for sustainability"
was the schools' first experience in project which will give our students a European conscience &
broaden their minds. Besides, we successfully carried out the KA101 School Education Personnel
Mobility project, titled "Farkedersen Farklılık Yaratırsın, Be Aware and Make a Difference between
2016-2017". So, teachers of the school are talented & open-minded enough to coordinate&
participate in an international project which presents creative learning for real purposes.Our school
has made it a principle to be a researcher and an innovative institution that carries out
interdisciplinary studies and carries out national and international projects. We have developed a
team spirit with collaborative and innovative staff to develop and advance on the international
platform and to improve the quality of education. So, this project is really important for the school as
we think that this kind of European project will help the students to enrich their foreign language skills
whilst sharing activities, information & projects with their European peers.
