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.

BG has a creative writing club, for those of you who like to write, be creative and experiment with language. In the creative writing club you will be presented with many different creative tasks, and there will be the opportunity to participate in various competitions and projects such as the Danish Short Story Writing Championship, the Danish Poetry Championship and the "Young Words" competition.

In the club you will get ideas to get started with writing, creative writing tasks, feedback on
your texts and not least a community with other students who also like to write, across classes and years. We read and write to both experiment and become better at expressing ourselves in writing - the word is free, and we exchange thoughts and approaches to literature in a nice and safe environment.

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.

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.
