About the School

Sjöparksskolan is Gällivare Municipality's only municipal lower secondary school in the town center, located next to Sjöparken and Isborgen, the municipality's ice arena. The school comprises approximately 410 students and 55 staff members. The school has recently been renovated to meet the requirements of a lower secondary school and features a modern design. The school works extensively with creating good learning environments, collegial learning, and developing sustainable structures to prepare students for the future. The school also has school nurses and school counselors on site. Additionally, there are special needs educators, social pedagogues, and study and career counselors. Two key pedagogues work on developing our digital competence, and the school has caretakers who cover short-term absences. Lead teachers work on subject development. The school is divided into three work teams, each led by a team leader. New and unqualified staff are mentored by experienced and qualified colleagues during induction and in the ongoing daily teaching work. The school offers opportunities for students with specific needs to work in smaller teaching groups. A preparatory class for newly arrived students is available at the school.
