Our Year 3 pupils get the chance to visit our Belgian sea (De Panne) or a nearby lake (Zilvermeer). Either way, there is no doubt they will enjoy this water and beach adventure at the fullest!

During this Year 5 school trip, the focus will be on working and playing together through active and adventurous activities such as a high rope parcours and an orientation trail, providing them one last adventurous memory before going to secondary.

Our school brings all our pupils and teachers closer together during an Easter breakfast, where everybody is dressed up fancy or in pyjamas. Our Nursery children even wear colourful crafted Easter bonnets. Every child brings/makes something to eat or drink.
Traffic safety lessons are of great importance in the development of becoming a safe road user. That’s why every year, our Year 1 until Year 4 classes get a lesson about safety in traffic in the Verkeerspark of Mol.
