Daily activities

Geimstöðin (Space Station) accommodates 1st and 2nd grade, and that space plays a significant role for us. Hjartarýmið (Heartspace) is for 3rd and 4th grade but received a new name in spring 2023 and is now called Stjörnuljós (Starlight). During Tjörnin Science Week in October, we plan to hold our own Space Day to learn more about space. Halastjarnan (Comet) also has a robust 4th grade club and has managed the pilot project '104 - an open house for 4th graders'. Halastjarnan aims to become a Rights Respecting After-School Program along with Háteigsskóli and 105 Youth Center in the fall of 2024.

Child prosperity

The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.

Information on the prosperity contacts for children at the Halastjarnan after-school program can be found on the website of Háteigsskóli
