Our website was created in 2001. The main reason for its creation was the willingness to make an information and didactic center that would be generally accessible on the Internet. The website is being built by students supervised by the information technology teacher. In the beginning, the website was made in HTML but now it is made in PHP technology in connection with the database system SQL.

    The web is a basic source of information about the school, it contains some information about the students, teachers, graduates and the managerial stuff. It gives a lot of useful information for candidates to the school. A lot of attention is paid to the tradition of the high school, information about the coming 100th anniversary celebrations, full list of all graduates, details about the school patron Nicolaus Copernicus www.mateo.lo-zywiec.pl/koper, an outstanding Polish astronomer. Looking through the gallery of photographs www.lo-zywiec.pl/fotoreportaze.php one can be familiar with the school premises, teachers and important school events.

    The students can learn the school's mission by reading its statutes and browse the information of the School Information Centre biblioteka.lo-zywiec.pl which is located in the school library. Students may use the guest book where they can express their opinion about life of the school and problems concerning it. In connection with the integration within the EU structures our portal also takes up initiatives concerning the accession. We took part in 'Youth in Action' and 'Comenius' program and as a result we are starting cooperation with many schools in Europe. The people visiting our website can learn about the data related to different geographical regions of Europe, their traditions and culture, visit the websites of befriended schools and see the gallery of photos. We have close contacts with a schools from Ireland (see 'green pages'), Sweden, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Hungary and Turkey (see comenius.lo-zywiec.pl)

    In our portal we present the achievement of our students, the finalist of subject competition, Olympics and their papers www.lo-zywiec.pl/osiagniecia.php. We pay particular attention to the frequent updating of our website by placing the news and photo reports from different scool celebrations and events. The big popularity has the service of 'Errata' youth magazine www.zywiec.org.pl with which many of our students cooperate as well as the School European Club 'Copernicus' propagating the idea of the European countries integration. The school website is a place where students and teachers can share their knowledge and experience with each other, place their own didactic materials helpful in the teaching and learning processes, for ex. www.juliusz.lo-zywiec.pl.

    The philosophical, historical, chemical, physical, computer science clubs exist in the school and are placed on the website. For obvious reasons information technology has its special position, the students may use didactic materials and their own software and check their abilities (see 'mat-inf board, www.juliusz.lo-zywiec.pl/mat-inf). Our school is equipped with over 50 computers, the access to the Internet is provided by the school Linux server. We use a wide band stable connection. Our students, teachers and administration employees use e-mail, www, ftp accounts and other network services. The website is constantly being developed and attracts a lot of interest in local and international community which is proved by the statistics of the server. The website helps widen the didactic offer of the school and develop interpersonal contacts. Working on the shape of the website gives a lot of satisfaction both to the students and teachers.
