Before lessons / stabling

Students can wait in the stay rooms until classes begin.

Storage

Bicycles and scooters are put in the storage area and locked. Scooters are not allowed on the school grounds. The school is not liable for theft of or damage to bicycles or scooters.

Late arrival

Pupils who arrive late should report to the teaching assistant before 08.00 the next day (between 07.45 and 08.00). Pupils may use a joker twice a year so that they do not have to report. However, they must report this to the teaching assistants on the same day. If a pupil does not report and has not used a joker, this pupil must stay one hour late.

If the pupil stays late the day after they have been late but has not reported, the report remains open. The pupil must still report the next day and, in addition, stay after school.

At 5x tardiness, a letter is sent to the parent(s)/carer(s), at 10x tardiness compulsory education is called in and at 15x tardiness the pupil is summoned by compulsory education.

Care at change of lesson

When a lesson ends, pupils leave the room quietly. They go via the shortest route to the room of the next lesson. During lesson changes, pupils are not allowed to leave the school grounds.

Catering

There is one catering point in the school building. The catering is open from 08:15 to 14:00.
During lesson changes, catering is closed.

Cards and suspension

Orange cards (years 1 to 3)
When a student has not completed homework, the teacher may give them an orange card. The teacher gives the orange card to the pupil so that this card can be signed by parent(s)/carer(s). The student must then return the card to the teacher.

Yellow cards

1 yellow card
The pupil leaves the classroom and goes to collect a yellow card from the teaching assistants.
The student fills in the yellow card and returns to the teacher for a discussion after class. The teacher also fills in the yellow card, determines whether a sanction will be given and informs parent(s)/carer(s) and the student affairs coordinator.
The student takes the yellow card to the student affairs coordinator and discusses the card. The coordinator also fills in the card.
The pupil takes the card home and discusses it with the parent(s)/carer(s).

2 yellow cards
The pupil receives a warning for internal suspension.

3 yellow cards
In case of 3 yellow cards in a school year, an internal suspension follows. A letter goes to the parent(s)/carer(s).

Green cards
A compliment can be issued to the pupil via the green card.

Suspension

If a student misbehaves seriously, the team coach may assign an internal or external suspension. This is always done in consultation with the programme management.

With an internal suspension, the pupil is not allowed to attend classes for one or more days. However, the student must come to school to work. Separate arrangements are made about tests.

With an external suspension, the pupil is not allowed to visit the school or the school grounds for a certain period of time. An exception is made for tests. The pupil is not re-admitted to school until the school management has consulted with the parent(s)/carer(s).

Pupil pass

All pupils receive a school pass from school showing their name, pupil number, date of birth, photograph and the pass validity date.Use of the pass is necessary and compulsory when: using the school lockers, borrowing materials from the media library and using its facilities and during extracurricular school activities, such as school parties.

First-year students receive the student pass at the beginning of the school year.All other pupils receive a new pass every other year.

Locker

Your child will be given a locker to store personal belongings that can be opened with the school card. The lockers are distributed according to a certain schedule.

Loss, theft or damage of the pass should be reported immediately to the caretaker who will then block the locker so that it cannot be opened by others.The locker remains in use by the student for the whole year.

A new pass can be requested from the media library in the interim on payment of €10. The pass remains the property of the school and may be confiscated in case of misuse. In certain situations, the school may decide to open the locker.

Physical education

Physical education lessons are held in our sports hall and its outdoor area on Henegouwenlaan.

The following rules apply during lessons:

  • All pupils attend classes, unless this is not possible or allowed for medical or other reasons. The teacher will receive a note about this from you or your child’s doctor. If your child does not attend classes for a longer period, you should notify the student affairs coordinator. In consultation with the teacher, it will then be agreed where your child will stay during lessons and whether substitute assignments are required. If your child cannot take part in a lesson occasionally, they will stay in the gymnasium or at the side of the sports field during the lesson. This will only be deviated from in consultation with the teacher;
  • pupils have sportswear and sports shoes (no black soles) with them;
  • valuables are kept in their own lockers. In case of loss, the school is not liable.

Students may use a calculator in lessons, tests and exams.A scientific, non-programmable calculator is preferred.The TI-30XB multiview from Texas Instruments is recommended.
