Polytechnic School Gmünd Honored with Henry Award 2025

The Polytechnic School Gmünd has been awarded the prestigious Henry Award 2025 by the Lower Austrian Youth Red Cross, recognizing the dedicated efforts of its students and teachers. This accolade was achieved through a community-driven initiative that involved the construction and operation of a charitable punch stand. The project not only brought a festive atmosphere to the school but also served a significant social purpose.

The collaboration between students and faculty exemplified a strong commitment to community service, showcasing the school's values of teamwork and social responsibility. The punch stand became a focal point during the festive season, attracting visitors and fostering a sense of community.

In addition to providing a warm beverage, the initiative aimed to support local charitable causes, demonstrating the school's commitment to making a positive impact beyond its educational mission. The funds raised from the operation of the punch stand were allocated to various charitable organizations, further enhancing the community spirit.

The recognition from the NÖ Youth Red Cross highlights the importance of engaging youth in social initiatives and underscores the positive influence such projects can have on both students and the wider community. The Polytechnische Schule Gmünd's achievement serves as an inspiring example for other educational institutions aiming to integrate community service into their curriculum.

This award not only reflects the hard work and passion of the students and teachers involved but also reinforces the role of educational institutions in promoting social responsibility and community engagement. As the school celebrates this honor, it looks forward to continuing its efforts in fostering a culture of giving and support within the community.
