A description of our school:
Herajoki primary school is a small countryside school but quite near a town. We have specialised in environmental education, information technology and theatre education.

Our school is nearly a hundred years old. There are 136 pupils and six teachers, two school helpers and one kindergarden teacher.This will be the fourth time when we participate in the TeleOlympics.

Our school is situated in Riihimaki. Riihimäki is located 70 kilometres to the north from Helsinki, Finland's capital. The number of inhabitants of the town is about 26000. Riihimäki is an alert town which has an active culture activity. In our town there are the army's signal regiment, art museum furthermore theatre and other culture activities.

Our school has a small sand field with which we perform most of the sports. The largest part of the pupils participate in the competition. We put all the results of the competition to the own Internet home side of the school in sight.

We wish the best luck to all our co-competitors! J J J
