What is the APEEE ? What Does it Do ?

The APEEE is a non-profit organisation (AISBL) that is independent from the school (EEB2), and that serves all parents whose children attend the European School of Brussels II Woluwe-Evere. It provides services of key importance to students' life at school, such as: Transport, Canteen, and Extracurricular Activities.

The APEEE is also the voice of parents in the school governance bodies; it continuously liaises with parents through elected representatives at class and board level. It works on issues related to pedagogy, school administration, school community and students’ health, safety and wellbeing.

The APEEE is run by parent volunteers elected in a Board who oversee the services and is supported by a team of employees who run the daily operations.

Preordering at the Cafeteria 🥗🥙

We know that the queues in the cafeteria are too long and we take this opportunity to remind you that your children (in Secondary) can save time & preorder.

To pre-order your food simply go to the cafeteria between 08:00 to 10:30 and select your food/snack choices, pay, and set the time (from 10:30 onwards) you will pick up your order, as simple as that.

At your chosen pick up time use the pre-ordered line to collect your order.

As of 10:30 pupils can only buy cold food & drinks and no warm food will be available.

We really do hope that you will stop by between 8:15 and 10:00 to pre-order your food/snack and save yourself some time!
