Once a year, all the school's visual arts students and all those who love photography compete in a photo marathon. Here the task is to capture the best snapshots of life at the school. The competition is a race against time, as the participants are introduced to different themes during the day. The schol school is buzzing with creative energy, and the day culminates in prizes for the best photographs.

In the film workshop, you will be allowed to create your own masterpiece with moving images. We have a trained director who teaches you everything from writing film scripts to filming and editing to make it look professional.

Every other year, BG puts on a large musical production, where over 100 students and teachers participate. Here you get the opportunity to test your skills as a singer or musician and practice performing in front of an audience.

Do you love to be inpsired by great authors? Then maybe the poetry club is right for you. Here we read the great works of the best poets and experiment with writing our own poetry. If you're brave, you can share your lyrics, but it's also perfectly okay to just listen along.

Do you have a writer hidden inside of you? Then let him/her loose in the creative writing club. It requires good craftsmanship to be able to write, and in the writing club we experiment with different creative methods to writing everything from poems and short stories to novels.

On our artistic day, students from visual arts, drama, media studies, and music come together to create a great artistic experience. Most recently, the school's stairs were shrounded in colorful cobweb when a number of visual arts students decided to give the common areas a proper make over.

Every year, we transform BG into a big UN conference where high school students from all over the world participate to discuss major political issues. Test your skills as a politician, journalist, or event coordinator.

Being able to participate in a discussion and being able to argue one's case is an important competency in a democratic society. We want to support the development of this skillset at BG, and therefore we offer a debate club where we acitively participate in debate competitions with other schools. You will also have the opportunity to sharpen your argumentation skills in our MUN Society and at the school's BIGMUN (Big Model UN) conference.

Every year, BG's students participate in the Red Cross High School fundraiser. This event is always kick started in the afternoon, where the school's ambassador's talk about the fundraiser and the year's goal over a cup of coffee. Some of collections through the years have gone toward medical care and protection for war-affected children in Syria and Yemen, or vulnerable children in Denmark who have been affected by the corona situation. At BG, we are proud to have a large base of volunteers who have faithfully spread and awareness and raised money for the Red Cross.

We collaborate with Birkerød's local Red Cross shop with a joint focus on the UN's Global Sustainability Goals and recycling. One of the ways we do this is by oranizing a clothes bazaar at BG and hosting a sustainable fashion show with re-used clothing.

The students' party committee is called AOC. As a member of the party committee, you help organize four annual parties, where you are responsible for everything from booking music and entertainment to planning the party itself. The party committee is a good place to build strong friendships and a large social network at the school.

If you would like to have an influence and represent the wishes of the student body, then student council is for you. The student council is the intermediary between the students and the management at the school, and it is taken seriously! In addition to the student council itself, this group is also responsible for number of committees, such as the Events Committee, which plans student events, or the Environmental Committee, which works to make the school more environmentally conscious and climate friendly.
