Guidelines for new students

Updated on 10th June, 2024

Confirmation of selection

You will be notified of your selection on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at the earliest.

Selected students will receive an email from Tampereen Lyseo Upper Secondary School with the subject “Tampereen lyseon lukio: Päätös opiskelijavalinnasta 2024.”

Opintopolku (or Studyinfo, the national education portal) will send an email to notify all applicants of the study place they have been offered and details about the selection situation. You can log into Opintopolku using strong authentication, but those who do not have, for example, online banking credentials can also log in via the link provided in the email.

The study place must be accepted via Opintopolku. In addition, you must enrol at Tampereen Lyseo Upper Secondary School through Wilma.

Student credentials and logging into Wilma

You will receive your username for the Tampere City Upper Secondary Education Wilma system in an email from the school. The email subject will be “Tampereen lyseon lukio: tunnus Wilmaan.”

Your password will be sent in a separate email with the subject “Salasana: Tampereen 2. asteen Wilma (Tredu ja lukiot).”

NOTE: Always check your spam folder as well.

Log in to Wilma as soon as you receive your username and password!

Upper secondary school enrolment

Enrol at your upper secondary school electronically through Wilma using the form “Lukioon ilmoittautuminen” (Upper secondary school enrolment). When you have successfully logged in to Wilma, you will find the section “Lomakkeet” (Forms) either in the blue top bar or through the dropdown menu accessible via the three dots icon. Continue using the web browser version; the mobile app does not include the enrolment form.

The enrolment form will ask for the following information:

Preliminary selection of languages to be studied in upper secondary school (A languages, B2 languages, B3 languages)
Preliminary choice between advanced or basic level mathematics
Whether the student will study religion or ethics
Participation in Finnish as a second language (S2) instruction
Contact information and email addresses of guardians
The option to request contact from a special education teacher at the beginning of studies
Commitment to the rules for using digital devices, information systems and data network provided for study purposes

Please fill out the enrolment form carefully and preferably in collaboration with your guardian! Enrol at your upper secondary school promptly, but no later than June 27, 2024.

If you encounter any difficulties when filling out the enrolment form or need any other assistance, you can reach the guidance counselor on Thursday, June 13, and Friday, June 14, from 10.00 AM to 2.00 PM at the following numbers: 040 502 2498 (Salla Luukkonen) and 040 716 5705 (Seppo Linnaranta).

Instructions for guardians of new students

Each guardian of an underage upper secondary school student must follow their study-related matters through Wilma.

Create your own Wilma account: follow the instructions for creating guardian accounts.
In your Wilma view, complete the form “Lukio: Tietokoneen lainauslupa” (Upper secondary school: Computer loan authorization). If you have not filled this form, the student will not receive a computer on the first day.

Upper secondary school students’ computers and study materials

All students within compulsory education are provided with computers and most textbooks as digital learning materials. Computers will be distributed and are needed on the very first day of school. However, students can receive a computer only if their GUARDIAN has completed the loan authorization form in Wilma!

At the start of their studies, all new first-year students at Rellu participate in the “Lukio tutuksi” (Getting to Know High School) study module. During these lessons, students learn how to use their school computer and its associated software. They also practice updating the Abitti USB stick and familiarize themselves with electronic learning environments.

On enrolment, students are required to commit to the following rules:

Timetable

First-year students receive a set timetable for the first period. Based on the subject choices made in the enrolment form, students are also assigned language courses for the entire academic year. Language choices can be changed later, even after the first-period info sessions on language choices. Students can also choose their mathematics level later. The first-year timetable mainly consists of compulsory courses, so there is no need to worry about elective courses just yet.

Tuudo

Tuudo serves as an electronic, official student card, accessible through a free app downloaded on their phones. With Tuudo, students can also prove their eligibility for student discounts with Matkahuolto (bus and coach services) and VR (Finnish Railways). Upper secondary students should download the card on their phones from either the Play Store or the App Store.

Meals and Special Diets

Students register for daily school meals using the Tuudo app.

Pirkanmaan Voimia manages the school cafeteria. When required, a student with a severe allergy or health condition is provided with a meal suited to their needs. This may differ from the standard menu. A statement on food allergies, celiac disease, vegan diets or other medically necessary special diets should be provided by a medical professional such as a doctor, dietitian, or nurse. No separate notification is required for vegetarian or lactose-free diets.

Detailed instructions for notifying the school kitchen about special dietary needs can be found on the City of Tampere website under “Erityisruokavalion ilmoittaminen” (Notifying on special dietary needs).

School transport subsidy

Upper secondary students apply for a school transport subsidy (koulumatkatuki) using the online application in OmaKela.

New students begin their upper secondary school journey in Rellu’s Multipurpose Space at 9.15 AM on Wednesday, August 7, 2024 (pre-IB students at 10.00 AM). Please remember to bring your ID to receive a computer.
