OUR OBJECTIVES
Extracurricular activities are organised for all grades, Kindergarten and primary pupils.
Extracurricular activities enable children to discover, to enhance or sometimes to develop certain talents, whether artistic, sportive or musical. They give children with the same interests the opportunity to work closely in small groups where they can give free reign to their enthusiasm and creativity.
A child can express itself through a common denominator : the subject of interest, a sport, music or the theatre.
All that is needed is to guide the child in developing his/her skills, whether within the school facilities or outside.
OUR INFRASTRUCTURES
The extracurricular office works in close collaboration with the school
Within the school’s possibilities, its existing infrastructure and the general planning of daily use of the infrastructure, the extracurricular service is entitled to the use of certain class rooms, gym hall and art rooms for its after school activities.
