Eurêka : Lost & Found

Last Friday 17th January 2025, the school management held a constructive meeting on the operation of EUREKA, the lost property service. They discussed issues such as organisation, access, data protection and, above all, the infinite gratitude to the parent volunteers who look after the service. Here are the conclusions of the discussion:

  • The EUREKA service comes under the responsibility of the school with the commitment of parent volunteers. The management will draw up a short set of operating rules. This document will be presented as soon as possible.
  • Following the closure of EUREKA for several weeks, a certain amount of time will be needed to tidy up all lost items. Following this, lost and foud items will be made available in the primary préau during the week of 10 February, from 8.15 a.m. to 4.15 p.m. for pupils, and from 4.30 p.m. for parents.
  • From 17th February 2025, the opening hours will resume as before (Thursday 10am-12.50pm for the primary cycle, Friday 11.45am-1.45pm for the secondary cycle).
  • The addition of one afternoon per week for parents picking up their children from extracurricular activities or the OIB afterschool childcare service.
  • Parents are also welcome on Thursday afternoons, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

🚍‼️Reminder that One-off, Temporary Changes or Extra Bus Stops are Currently Not Allowed. 🚍‼️

Because of the overcrowding and the increasingly limited number of spare seats in buses, we may not always be able to accept requests for occasional changes of bus (e.g. to visit another pupil, the doctor, a private teacher, or a sports club).

  • Between 1st and 30 September 

We will not allow any one-off or temporary change of bus.

  • From 1st October

Any one-off or temporary change of bus must be requested by sending an email to the Transport Office before 13:00 the day before at the latest, and will only be accepted based on the availability of seats.

Request for Extra Bus Stop

Requests for regular use of a different bus departing at the same time (13:00 – 15:30 – 16:20) will only be considered as of November and will be subject to the availability of seats in our buses. This does not concern children living alternate weeks with each parent (shared custody).

Requests for an additional stop must be renewed annually. After eventual acceptance, the approval may be withdrawn at any time during the school year in order to release a seat for a student to be transported to and from home.

National Strike on 13th February 2025 📣

As announced in the national media, a strike will take place on 13th February 2025, which could cause disruption and create trafic.

The transport service will keep the concerned parents informed in real time about cancellations, absent supervisors, etc.

We understand that this may cause inconvenience and would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and patience during this exceptional circumstance. We will do our best to minimise disruption.
