Activities and school trips
The Dutch Section offers much more than just lessons. Throughout the school year, we organize cultural activities, study trips to the Netherlands and Flanders, and special events that strengthen our community.
School trip and school camp for the primary school
Every spring, the primary school pupils go on a school trip. For group 7 we organize an adventurous nature camp, together with group 8 (which belongs to secondary education within the French school system).
