It is placed in the centre of Ankara and it struggles with tough conditions. Several activities are held in Polis Amca Primary-Secondary School to contribute the personal development of the students and strengthen their bonds with the school by the leadership of devoted and conscious educators. One of these activities is the ice-hockey team established within the school. By practicing this sport, the students team spirit and self-esteem improved, their devotion to school and academic achievements increased. This school is a good example of showing that small steps regarding sports and cultural activities create great changes in children. It was considered to be a positive example to create awareness not only in pilot provinces but throughout the whole country.
