Other school information

Before lessons / stabling

Students can wait in the stay rooms until classes begin.

Storage

Bicycles, scooters and fat bikes must be parked in the bicycle shed and locked. Scooters are no longer allowed to be left running on school grounds. The school is not liable for theft of or damage to bicycles, scooters or fat bikes.

Late arrival

Students who arrive late must report to the teaching assistant before 8:00 a.m. (between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m.) the following day.

Joker
It may happen that a student is late or that reporting the next day is very inconvenient. In these cases, a student may use a joker twice per school year. This must be discussed with the teaching assistant on the same day. The student does not need to report.

Not reported
If a student is late and does not report the next day, the report remains open. The student must still report the following day and also stay after school.

Repeated tardiness
After 5 instances of tardiness, a letter will be sent to the parents/guardians; after 10 instances, the truancy officer will be notified; and after 15 instances, the student will be summoned by the truancy officer.

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 behaves seriously inappropriately, the head of department may impose an internal or external suspension. This is always done in consultation with the school management.
In the case of an internal suspension, the student is not allowed to attend classes for one or more days. The student must still come to school to work. Separate arrangements are made for tests.

In the case of an external suspension, the student is not allowed to come to school or the school grounds for a certain period of time. An exception is made for tests. The student will only be readmitted to the school after the school management has consulted with the parent(s)/guardian(s).
After 5 late arrivals, a letter is sent to the parents/guardians; after 10 late arrivals, the compulsory education authorities are notified; and after 15 late arrivals, the pupil is summoned by the compulsory education authorities.

Pupil pass

All students receive a school ID card from the school with their name, student number, date of birth, photo and the card’s expiry date. Use of the card is necessary and mandatory for: using the school lockers, borrowing materials from the media library and using its facilities, and for extracurricular school activities, such as school parties.

First-year students receive their student ID card at the beginning of the school year. All other students receive a new card every other year.

Locker

Your child will be given a locker to store personal belongings, which can be opened with their school card.

Loss, theft or damage to the card must be reported immediately to the caretaker, who will then block the locker so that it cannot be opened by others. The locker will remain in use by the pupil for the entire year.

A new card can be requested from the media library for a fee of €10. The card remains the property of the school and may be confiscated in the event 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 permitted for medical or other reasons. The teacher will receive a note from the parent(s)/guardian(s) or a doctor to this effect.
  • If a pupil is unable to attend lessons for a longer period of time, the parent(s)/guardian(s) must report this to the pupil affairs coordinator. In consultation with the teacher, it will then be agreed where the pupil will stay during lessons and whether alternative assignments need to be carried out.
  • If the student is occasionally unable to participate in a lesson, he/she will remain in the sports hall or on the sidelines of the sports field during the lesson. Deviations from this rule are only possible in consultation with the teacher.
  • Students must wear appropriate sports clothing (preferably a dark shirt) and sports shoes (indoor shoes with non-marking soles and outdoor shoes with a good tread).
  • For your own safety and the safety of others, the following rules apply: remove jewellery; tie long hair back in a ponytail; wear a headscarf under a T-shirt or, preferably, a sports headscarf.
  • Valuables should be stored in your own locker; the school is not liable for any loss.

Calculators
