Jerzy Kukuczka (1948–1989) was the most distinguished Polish mountaineer and one of the greatest climbers in history. He was the second person on Earth to climb the Crown of the Himalayas and the Karakoram (all 14 eight-thousanders), 10 of which were climbed by route and 4 in winter. He died tragically in 1989 while climbing Lhotse. Primary School No. 58 in Poznań has been named after him since 1997.

Primary school no 58 named after Jerzy Kukuczka in Poznań
The Jerzy Kukuczka Primary School Sp. 58 Poznań is located at 3 Ławica Street. The entire school consists of 25 teachers and 500 students.
The Polish primary school system lasts eight years and is divided into two stages: grades 1–3 and 4–8. In grades 1–3, instruction is integrated and typically taught by a single teacher, while in grades 4–8, subjects are divided into different subjects and taught by different teachers.
Schools use a grading scale from 1 to 6, where 1 is a failing grade and 6 is an excellent grade; in lower grades, descriptive grades are often used instead of grades.
Students have compulsory subjects such as Polish, mathematics, foreign languages, natural sciences (e.g., biology, geography), history, computer science, and physical education.
Education system in Poland
Our typical day usually begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends in the afternoon, no later than 3:45 p.m. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes, with a 5-minute break after each lesson. Students often volunteer with younger classes after their own lessons, as completing 20 hours of volunteering earns them extra credit for high school.
A typical student's day
Our most important subjects are Polish, Mathematics and English because we write exams in these three subjects.
In our school rather than just normal classes we also have bilingual classes which stand out because they have more English classes a week and also chemistry and biology are in English. Apart from English we also have German classes twice a week.
Subjects and profiles
In our school there’s a lot of events but the main one is Music My Passion where students perform in singing, dancing or playing on an instrument.
There are also school discos where students can just have fun and one-day trips which happen about once a year where classes go to places such as Borne Sulinowo , Toruń or Kłodawa to visit and learn about history and culture of given place.
In our school we also have national competitions from different subjects.
Every year students from eighth classes make projects about different subjects and presents them to younger classes.
