Memorandum for parents

The Memorandum is a handbook for the parents of our students. In it can be found information, details, and explanations about a child’s schooling and about daily routines and procedures.

Students in the Nursery-Primary and Secondary School cycles will be expected to follow the internal school rules, or Rules of Procedure. These are a series of rights and obligations that are discussed within the Educational Council. They are designed to ensure mutual respect among all members of the school community and allow for the smooth functioning of daily school operations.

1. SMS -MySchool : What is it?

This computer program dedicated to school management has been in use since the 2013- 2014 school year. This web portal is a complete school management system (SMS = School Management System) to which everyone in the school community (parents, students, teachers, administrative staff) has personal access.  

This modern tool common to all European Schools enables effective email communication and provides access to system announcements on the home page. Parents can view their children’s schedules online. Student absences are also entered by the teachers at the start of lessons (except for school trips, sports classes, and so on...) and parents may view absences on the portal for the last 14 days.  

Information regarding school life (parent-teacher evenings, events, trips, outings, and so on...) is posted on the portal and communicated by e-mail. It is therefore vital that parents consult the portal regularly.  

Parents should inform the school administration as soon as possible in case of a change of address, employer, email address, home phone number or service/office address by sending an email to the following addresses:  

For the Nursery and Primary School: yolande.michaud@eursc.eu  / melanie.kistiaens@eursc.eu  

For the Secondary School:  

blandine.thisserant@eursc.eu  / carine.sommen@eursc.eu  / valentine.gillot@eursc.eu

    School speakers such as psychologists or counsellors, members of the Parents' Association APEEEL2, members of the school associations "Mots de Zaza" or "Actions Sans Frontières" and external speakers will come to present their activities or propose themes for joint reflection (e.g. Education, Respect, Harassment).   

    If you have an independent activity or if you want to start a project, you can come with your business cards and brochures.   

    For any further question, please contact the APEEEL2 (office@apeeel2.lu): your message will be immediately transmitted to the organizers of the CoMoNe.  

     

    C) Class Representatives and Parents Association (APEEEL2 )

    Early in the year, each class will elect two parent representatives who will act as liaisons between the class and the administration. They will be able to communicate any needs or problems the class may have to the teachers and to the school.  

    The Parents’ Association represents the needs of the greater parent community. It is actively involved in school life and is able to communicate any needs or concerns that affect the general school body, the school buildings, and the daily life of the school. More information can be found on their website: http://www.apeeel2.lu/  

    APEEEL2 also organizes extracurricular activities. More information about these activities can be found on the website: https://periscolaire.apeeel2.lu  

     

    D) Parents’ Participation  

    In addition to attending the scheduled meetings, parents are often invited to help the classes during specific events. This participation might include helping to chaperone field trips, helping with class parties or other events, accompanying the children to the library, or, starting in M2, accompanying the children to swim class. Teachers also rely on the goodwill of the parents to help foster a smoothly running classroom and a positive class atmosphere.  

     

    E) Library  

    The Nursery Library contains books and materials for all the Nursery language sections while the Primary Library contains books and materials for all the Primary language sections. Classroom teachers work with the librarians to keep families informed about how to use and take advantage of these resources.  

    Running the libraries would not be possible without the assistance of parent volunteers and their association «Les Mots de Zaza». The school sends out an urgent call to all parents who have some free time and would like to help by joining the volunteer association. The school librarians (who work only half-time) would be happy to help put any interested parents in touch with the «Les Mots de Zaza» association.

    3. Parent's Financial Contribution

    Class Funds: The school allocates funds each year for the purchase of small school supplies and educational materials.  

    Periodically throughout the year, the Nursery and Primary Classes may organize school activities that would require additional financial participation from the families. Instead of collecting money for each occasion, the families may decide to organize a class fund. This fund would be managed by a class treasurer to be chosen at the first school meeting. During that meeting, parents could also decide the amount each family would be asked to contribute based on suggestions from the teachers. Teachers would not have direct access to the class fund but would rely on the class parents and treasurer to decide on how the money should be spent. 

    Invoices sent to parents during the school year are not covered by the class office.

    10. Homework and school report

    Read more

    1. Homework

    A) Primary school  

    Homework can take several forms. It is necessary to consider the capability of the children and their level of learning. The teachers will determine the homework according to their pupils.  

    4th and 5th grades represent a significant stage in progress through the secondary cycle in experience and knowledge and consequently homework will become more regular and targeted.  

    It is important to underline that each linguistic section has specific characteristics and particularities, being part of the educational tradition of each country. Therefore, it is impossible to determine a valid rule for all the classes and all linguistic sections.  

    Teachers do not systematically mark homework as   personal research and educational background can vary from one family to another.  

    Nevertheless, homework assignments are always corrected.  

    Please find more information about the linguistic sections on the School’s website. 

     

    B) Secondary school 

    As guideline, the following figures represent the maximum time per week for an average pupil:  

    Grade 

    S1 

    S2 

    S3 

    S4 

    S5 

    S6 

    S7 

    Hours 

    7/8 

    8/9 

    9/10 

    12/13 

    13/14 

    16 

    16 

    If it appears that these figures are not realistic for a certain class or group of pupils, these cases must be examined individually.  

    Homework should be assigned as early as possible and the deadline should be fixed together with the pupils. Homework given for the following day should not exceed 15 minutes.  

    At school begin, the teachers of each subject agreed on the application of a common policy of homework. This policy will be evaluated at the end of the school year and, where appropriate, adapted.  

    The schedule of A and B tests from S1 to S5 is communicated at the beginning of the school year in SMS (School Management System). A maximum of 3 tests per week is allowed in principle.

    2. School reports

    Reports will be distributed on the following dates (see School calendar, point 2 of the Memorandum)

    Primary School 

    Report’s distribution date 

    First non-official report 

    November  

    First report 

    February  

    Second Report 

    July  

    During the parent/teacher evenings at the beginning of the school year, the teachers responsible for the class and the LII teachers explain the system of the school report in terms of skills and strategies used for the evaluations and review the cross-curricular skills. 

    School report evaluation is therefore not a way of classifying the children (based on the skill to reproduce the acquired knowledge), but it concerns the way they use their knowledge and how they apply it to their individual work (application of the skills).  

    In November, the parents will meet individually with the class teacher to discuss the child’s progress in their work, cross-curricular and social skills. The list of the skills serves as a guide for this meeting. If serious problems are raised, it is recommended that they should be discussed with the class teachers and with the Deputy- Director.  

    A first written report is sent to the parents in February through our ICT data exchange platform (Student Management System SMS, My School). This report has already been discussed with the pupil. It contains a complete list of the cross-curricular skills and the specific skills for every subject. The teachers also record on the school report their individual remarks.  

    In April or May, the primary school will inform the parents by registered letter if there is a risk that the child will repeat the school year. At this point, it is still possible to try to remedy the situation. This letter does not establish a definitive decision but aims at informing the parents of the concrete risk of repeating.  

    At the end of the year, the same skills are revised during the class council to evaluate the progress of the pupil. A final page summarizes all the information, with an explanation on the decision of the class council for the following school year. The final report is made available to parents through our platform SMS.  

    It is important that each family maintains a correct and current email address for their account on our platform «My School».

    1. School Philosophy 

    The European School is a multilingual and multicultural environment in which the primacy of a child’s mother tongue is safeguarded wherever possible.

    The European School offers a single type of general academic education, in which learning conditions become increasingly demanding. This single academic pathway, involving highly cognitive and abstract learning, leads to the award of the European Baccalaureate diploma.

    Different forms and levels of support are provided, designed to ensure appropriate help for pupils having special educational needs or experiencing difficulties at any point in their schooling in order to allow them to develop and progress according to their potential and to be successfully integrated.

    The School believes that where parents are involved in their children’s education and work in partnership with the school, children achieve and thrive more. Communication between

    the school and the pupil’s legal representatives should be open and regular.

    This communication is organised in accordance with Article 24 of the General Rules of the European Schools 1. It is essential that parents inform the school of any issues which could affect their child’s learning progress.

    Decisions concerning support are made in the best interest of the child.

    Read more

    2. Differentiation

    Differentiation is the planning and execution of teaching and learning for all children in all classes which take account of individual differences in learning style, interest, motivation and aptitude, and reflecting these differences in the classroom.

    Differentiation forms the basis of effective teaching. It is essential for all pupils, including those pupils requiring support. Differentiated teaching aimed at meeting all the pupils’ needs is the responsibility of every teacher working in the European Schools and must be common classroom practice.

    Differentiated teaching ensures that in planning and delivering lessons, teachers are aware of and take into consideration the different learning styles and individual needs of all pupils. (See Article 24 of the General Rules of the European Schools –2014-3-D -14 -) http://www.eursc.eu/getfile/278/22012-05-D-14-en-94

    This includes meeting the needs of:

    • pupils with different learning styles;

    • pupils studying in a language section which does not correspond to their mother tongue;

    • pupils arriving in the system at a later stage who have followed a different curriculum and/or whose knowledge and skills show possible gaps;

    • pupils with a mild learning difficulty;

    • pupils with a diagnosed special educational need

    • gifted and talented pupils

    Read more

    3. Types of support

    Where normal differentiation in the classroom in not enough, school can provide other types of support :

    • General Support,
    • Moderate Support,
    • Intensive Support (A and B) and/or special arrangements.

    Support is flexible and varies as a pupil develops and his/her needs change.

     

    General and Moderate support:

    • General Support is for any pupil who, at some point in their schooling, needs support or may experience difficulty in a particular aspect of a subject, may need to ‘catch up’ due to late arrival in school or illness or may be working in their non-mother tongue. Pupils may need additional help with acquiring effective learning strategies or study skills.
    • Moderate Support is an extension of General Support and is provided to pupils with a mild learning difficulty or in need of more targeted support. This could be appropriate for pupils who may be experiencing considerable difficulty in accessing the curriculum due to, for example, language issues, concentration problems or other reasons. It is provided for a longer period than General Support.

    Procedures:

    • Teachers request General or Moderate Support for their pupils. Parents or legal representatives can discuss with the subject teacher if they think support is needed.
    • Support classes may be requested at any time during the school year.
    • Applications must be submitted using a special form that is distributed to all teachers by mail and is available in the teacher’s room or in Office 365 (shared documents). This form must be submitted to the Support Coordinator (SupCo).
    • The Administration of the school will decide when support is necessary. The teacher will inform parents that support has been decided for their child. Parents can accept or reject this support, but in all cases the form must be returned to the school with the parents’ signature.
    • The Support Coordinator will create support groups. Under exceptional circumstances, general and moderate support can be offered to a pupil on a one-to one basis.
    • Groups are organized vertically, horizontally, within or across sections, by focusing on the needs of the pupils concerned.
    • Once a pupil has been admitted to a support course, the pupil is required to follow the course regularly. If a pupil refuses this course or if s/he disrupts the course by his/her behaviour, the SupCo must be notified and the pupil may be excluded from the support course.
    • The General Support Teacher prepares the Group Learning Plan (GLP) with the subject / classroom teacher who details the group's work and incorporates objectives and success criteria for the group. This Plan is available from the SupCo and is sent to parents.
    • The moderate support teacher and the subject teacher make the Individual Learning Plan (ILP) (which is available from the SupCo and sent to the parents for each pupil) in consultation with the teacher of the subject / class. The ILP should be reviewed regularly. It includes specific learning objectives and criteria for evaluating a pupil’s progress and the success of the support.
    • Parents are informed about the evaluation in the end of the support period or in the end of Semesters.

    Intensive support A and B

    Definitions:

    • Intensive Support A (ISA) is provided following an expert’s assessment of the pupil’s special individual needs and the signing of an agreement between the Director and the parents. Intensive Support A is provided for pupils with specific educational needs: learning, emotional, behavioural or physical needs.
    • Intensive Support B (ISB): In exceptional circumstances, and on a short-term basis only, a Director may decide to provide Intensive Support for a pupil without special educational needs, for example in the form of intensive language support for a pupil who is unable to access the curriculum.

    For the secondary, a pupil’s absence from other lessons while receiving educational support should be restricted as far as feasibly possible to exceptional cases.

    Procedures

    For pupils whose needs are best described using description A:

    • The needs of Intensive support can be detected already at the enrolment or during the year, either by a teacher or by the legal representatives.
    • A written request is sent to the SupCo by a teacher or the legal representatives including a report from a specialist. The criterias for the medical/psychological/psycho-educational/multidisciplinary report are:
    • • Be legible, on headed paper, signed and dated
    • • State the title, name and professional credentials of the expert(s) who has/have undertaken the evaluation and diagnosis of the pupil
    • • Through medical/psychological/psycho-educational or multidisciplinary report, state specifically the nature of the pupil’s medical and/or psychological needs and the tests or techniques used to arrive at the diagnosis
    • • Report for learning disorders need to describe the pupil’s strengths and difficulties (cognitive assessment) and their impact on learning (educational evidence) and the tests or techniques used to arrive at the diagnosis.
    • • Report for medical/psychological issues need to specify the pupil’s medical/psychological needs and their impact on learning (educational evidence).
    • • All reports need a summary or conclusion and stating the accommodations required as well as where appropriate, recommendations for teaching/learning for the school’s consideration.
    • • This documentation must be regularly updated and not be more than two years old. In case of permanent and unchanging disability and when the Support Advisory Group agrees, no retesting other than regular updates will be required.
    • • In order to avoid possible conflict of interests, the expert assessing pupils will be neither an employee of the European School nor a relative of the pupil.
    • • If not written in one of the working languages, be accompanied by a translation into French, English or German
    •  
    • The SupCo contacts the parents to arrange an Advisory Group Meeting. The Advisory Group meets to discuss how to help the pupil in the best possible way and advises the director on the arrangements to be made.
    • People present at the Advisory Group Meeting: Head or his/her delegate, Support Coordinator, L1 teacher, form teacher and the pupil’s parents. Other teachers and the psychologist or other specialists can be invited as well.
    • The support coordinator is in charge of preparing the Intensive Support agreement, which should be signed by the Head of the school and the legal representatives.
    • The ILP must be established by the support teacher(s) in consultation with the subject teacher and/or the support coordinator.
    • The legal representatives of the pupil are informed of their child’s progress at the end of each semester.
    • The Intensive Support agreement is only applicable for one school year and an Advisory Group Meeting will be organized to arrange a follow up and evaluate the intensive support.
    • An Advisory Group Meeting can be held any time during the school year if needed. The Intensive Support agreement can also be adapted during the school year if needed.
    • When the school is not able to provide adequate education to a pupil, the whole pedagogical team, parents and the school management seek and propose alternatives more adapted to the needs of the pupils.

    For pupils whose needs are best described using description B :

    • Teachers or pupil’s legal representatives request short-term Intensive Support B for the pupil in writing to the support coordinator.
    • The pupil’s legal representatives are informed that this support has been recommended for their child.
    • The Director and pupil’s legal representatives sign an agreement stating the reasons, nature and length of the Intensive Support to be given.
    • The support coordinator creates small groups or organizes individual support, in or outside the classroom, depending on the pupil’s needs and the availability of teachers.
    • Groups are organized vertically, horizontally, within or across sections, by focusing on the needs of the pupils concerned.
    • The support teachers write an ILP for each pupil in cooperation with the subject teacher. This should be evaluated in the end of each semester or trimester.
    • The ILP includes specific learning objectives and criteria for evaluating the pupils’ progress and the success of the support.
    • Pupils’ legal representatives are informed of their child’s progress in Intensive Support B at the end of each semester.

    SWALS Students (Students without a Language Section) enrolled in the other sections (EN, FR, DE) can receive additional help if necessary in case of weaknesses in language 2.

    Students diagnosed being High Potential can also receive support. A big part of the support is given during lessons through the differentiation done by the teachers. If needed it is also possible to set up tailor-made support according to the specific needs of the students.

    4. Collaboration with external experts

    As a school we collaborate closely with external experts – within Luxembourg as well as within the national systems of our member states. The collaboration is flexible and according to the needs.

    There might be pupils whose development and learning needs require support given by paramedical auxiliary staff (essentially speech therapists and psychomotor therapists). The provision is based on a tripartite agreement.

    The school’s role when drawing up a tripartite agreement is to make a suitable room available to the pupil and the professional whose services are used, to agree on a timetable and to take account of class activities. Before starting the collaboration, a request is made by parents to the Support Coordinator and a tripartite agreement is drawn-up in collaboration between parents, external expert and school. This is signed and kept by all three parts.

    Paramedical auxiliary staff working on a tripartite agreement is self-employed and paid directly by the parents.

    5. Inscription policy for students with special educational needs

    The European School accepts pupils with special educational needs, subject to the following procedure:

    • In the inscription form a detailed part to be fulfilled by parents is devoted to the description of pupil’s special needs and the support the pupil is currently benefitting from.
    • An Advisory Group (Support Coordinator, School Psychologist and Deputy Director), on the basis on the documents provided by the family and any further professional evidence which may be required, evaluates the ability of the school to meet the pupil’s needs. It determines the framework and conditions of any individualised teaching/learning. The Advisory Group may recommend an observation period or provisional admission.
    • It is the school Director, on the recommendations of the Advisory Group, who decides whether or not the school is able to provide the appropriate educational and social environment for the pupil.
    Read more

    6. Early identification

    In order to help the pupils in the best possible way, it is important to identify the eventual special educational needs.  This detection is done throughout the whole school career and involves several actors: parents, teachers, support coordinator, school psychologist and external experts through:

    • Teachers', school psychologists and support coordinator's’ observation in the class
    • Meeting between parents, teachers and the support coordinator
    • School reports and analyse of pupil’s progress
    • Class Councils
    • Collaboration with external experts

    This process requires an open and continuous collaboration between parents and school (and possible external experts).

    7. Transitions

    A) Transition from Nursery to Primary

    Each language section organizes two "Transition" days for all MA2 pupils: a P1 visit from the M2 children and a visit to the Mat by the P1 children before the end of the year. Special visits can be organized for pupils with special needs.

    For the children of M2 receiving intensive support A, the support coordinator of the primary / nursery cycle organises, at the end of the school year, an Advisory Group specifically dedicated to the planning of the transition to the primary cycle.

     

    B) Transition from Primary to Secondary

    The school organizes a transition day for all P5 pupils. Special visits/arrangements can be arranged for pupils with special needs.

    Transition meetings for P5 and S1 teachers take place before and at the beginning of the school year.

    There is a close collaboration between the support coordinator of Nursery/Primary and the support coordinator of Secondary. The support coordinator of Primary organizes at the end of the school year the Advisory Group Meeting for pupils in P5 receiving Intensive Support A. At these meetings the transition is discussed among the colleagues, parents and support coordinators from both cycles. For ISA pupils, another follow-up Advisory Group meeting is organized in October/November when the pupil enters S1.

    The support coordinator from Secondary attends the Class Councils for P5 at the end of the school year.

     

    C) Transition to another school

    If at one point it is agreed that a student would benefit more from another schooling than the schooling we can offer in the European Schools, meetings will be set up with parents and relevant people from school in order to find a good solution for the student.

    The school will do it’s outmost to help and guide the family concerning possibilities either in Luxembourg or in another country.

    8. Assessment and promotion

    Principles for assessment and promotion

    For the assessment and promotion of pupils receiving educational support but following a complete curriculum according to full requirements, the provisions in Chapter IX of the General Rules of the European Schools will apply.

    If the curriculum and/or syllabus are modified to meet the needs of the pupil (Who did not follow the curriculum provided in the Syllabus of the European Schools), he or she may not be promoted in the usual way. The pupil may accompany his or her class, as long as this is beneficial to the pupil’s social and academic development.

    It is possible for pupils to return to the full curriculum if all requirements for promotion are fulfilled. Before re-enrolment in the standard curriculum, the pupil must perform at the same level as any other pupil.

    S5 Pupils must follow the full curriculum and fulfil the same criteria as all pupils in order to be promoted to S6.

    If a pupil’s curriculum is adapted in S6, it is not possible to resume the standard curriculum either during S6 or between S6 and S7. Any pupil entering for the European Baccalaureate must have completed the full curriculum (General Rules, Chapter IV).

    For some pupils the academic demands of the European Schools are not appropriate, and they may be required to leave in order to continue with a different type of schooling. The School collaborates with the parents to find the best possible solution for the future schooling of the student.

    The school will issue a certificate describing the subjects followed, the hours completed and the level of the pupil’s attainment in the child’s best interest.

    Read more

    9. European Baccalaureate

    The European Schools believe that all pupils should be allowed to demonstrate their ability under assessment conditions that are as fair as possible. Where standard assessment conditions could place a candidate particularly those with special educational needs at a disadvantage, preventing them from demonstrating their level of attainment, special arrangements for written and/or oral examinations may be requested and authorized (see document 2012-05-D-15-en-8). This authorization must be requested by October 15th when the pupil is in S5. These arrangements are not intended to compensate for any lack of knowledge or ability.

    10. DISCIPLINE AND WELL-BEING

    Read more

    11. Peer mediation

    This is a process where volunteer pupils facilitate resolving interpersonal problems of other pupils within the school community in a climate of neutrality and confidence.

    The aim of the process is:

    • To lead discussions towards a win-win resolution for both sides to avoid further trouble;
    • To help pupils modify and improve their handling of situations of conflict in a nonviolent manner. In this way, their own self-esteem will grow, as will their listening skills and ability to handle difficult situations.
    • To improve the overall climate in school and to reduce disciplinary actions and disputes within school.
    • The positive outcome for teachers is to have more time available for teaching.

    Peer mediation is led by about 35 pupils of years S4-S6 who followed a comprehensive training program and received a mediator’s diploma.

    The pupils are supported by a team of enthusiastic teachers and coaches having followed part of the training of M.E.N.J.E. - S.C.R.I.P.T of Luxembourg for mediation projects by peers in Luxembourgish schools. The reference persons are Mr Nestoras, Mrs Le Goaller and Mrs Pomar.

    12. KiVa program

    KiVa is an innovative school-based anti-bullying program which has been developed at the University of Turku in Finland. It is a tool our school uses to raise the awareness of our students to be respectful, to show empathy towards peers, to know more about themselves … In this way school tries to create a safe environment through their whole school career.

     

    The main components of KiVa

    KiVa includes both universal and indicated actions, intended to prevent the phenomenon and to treat the cases of bullying in our school.

    The universal actions, such as the KiVa curriculum (student lessons), are directed at all students and focus mainly on preventing bullying. The students of year 1 continue with the lessons which started already in Primary (unit 2) and the students of year 3 start with the lessons dedicated to secondary (unit 3). They consist of a number of initiatives which influence the norms of groups, teach children how to behave constructively/responsibly, refrain from encouraging bullying and help possible victims.

    The indicated actions take place when bullying has come to the attention of school personnel. Each particular case is handled in a series of individual and group discussions between the school’s KiVa team and the students involved. Several peers of the victim are challenged to provide support for the victimized classmate. The aim is to put an end to bullying.

    The KiVa team doesn’t accuse or punish anyone but helps to develop empathy and positive solutions. KiVa is not meant to be a one-year project, but a permanent part of the school’s anti-bullying work.

     

    You can contact the KiVa team:

    Primary: MAM-KIVATEAM-PRI@eursc.eu

    Secondary: MAM-KIVATEAM-SEC@eursc.eu

    More information on the program can be found in http://www.kivaprogram.net/parents/ and http://www.kivaprogram.net

    1. Enrolment period for the new school year

    The enrolment period for the new school year will start in April/May (see school calendar).  

    If your children are already enrolled in our school, it is not necessary to fill in a new registration form.  

    In case of a category change, please contact the pedagogical secretariat.

    2. Choice of subject’s in the Primary cycle

    Choice of the second language

    At the European School, a child must take courses in a second language as from the year 1 in Primary in the form of one lesson a day. This second language will accompany the pupil through the schooling until the Baccalaureate. This language will be the teaching language for the courses of human sciences, history, geography and economy in the years 3, 4 and 5 of the Secondary School. A change in the choice of the second language is normally not allowed except on entry to year 6 of the Secondary School.

    For further information, please refer to the General Rules of the European Schools.

    The second languages (vehicular languages) taught are: ENGLISH - FRENCH - GERMAN

    If the child is in the:

    • German section: the available choices are English or French (except for SWALS)
    • English section: the available choices are French or German (except for SWALS)
    • French section: the available choices are English or German (except for SWALS)
    • Danish section: the available choices are English, French or German
    • Greek section: the available choices are English, French or German
    • Italian section: the available choices are English, French or German
    • Czech section: the available choices are English, French or German
    • Hungarian section: the available choices are English, French or German

    The children with Croatian, Slovak, Slovene and Romanian nationality are considered as students without language section (SWALS) and they are enrolled in the French, English or German section. The language of the section chosen is the pupil’s second language.

    The school organizes mother tongue courses for all SWALS pupils provided that a duly qualified teacher is available, or that the school can recruit one. These courses take place during the L2 time and are compulsory.

     

    Before taking a decision, please read carefully the following points:

    The General Rules do not foresee a change of the second language, whatever the reason.

    Normally, no changes are envisaged in language choices. Should a change of a language at any age or level be requested, the decision lies with the Director and is subject to the following conditions:

    • The existence of a duly justified written request from the parents/guardians
    • An unanimous deliberation and judgement by the class council on the request.
    • A clear proof established by the School of the pupil’s ability to follow the requested course.
    • The absence of administrative obstacles related to the change requested.
    • The applicant will be notified of the decision and the reasons for it. Otherwise a language test can be requested by the School.

    We recommend avoiding choosing a second language that would actually be the child’s 3rd language (additional work, interference between the 3 languages, possible psychological effects).

    The choice of the second language has a main impact on the child’s education throughout the schooling and becomes the vehicular language of certain subjects in the secondary cycle.

     

    Choice of religion or non-denominational moral classes

    All the children of the European School are obliged to follow religion or nondenominational Moral classes organized by the school. In our school the possible options for religious instruction are:

    • Catholic
    • Protestant
    • Orthodox

    (Other options could be available if pupil numbers suffice and according to the rules of groups as described by the General regulations of the European Schools.)

    These choices are not always available in all language sections. These options could be also be taught in the vehicular language of the pupils from the level P3.

    A request to change from one religion or ethics class to another must be highly motivated and addressed to the Direction of the school by April 30th for the following school year.

    No change will be accepted after this date.

    For the P3-4-5 classes in the Czech and Hungarian sections, religion and moral courses are taught in the pupils’ second language.

    3. Subject choices 1st, 2nd, 3rd year in secondary cycle

    This is a very brief guide and should not be regarded as definitive. In case of any doubt, the school will always apply the General rules of the European Schools.

     

    All choices must be made by the end of January of the preceding school year. Please note the deadline on the choice form for your child’s class. It can be different from year to year.

     

    Year 1

    There is one new choice: L3 (DE, EN, FR, ES, IT) 2 periods. The choice is made in Primary 5 for S1. L3 in S1 is a beginners’ course. The third language must be continued to the end of year 5 and can be taken to the Baccalaureate level in case there is a sufficient number (5) of pupils who choose it. (NB!. This is often the last possibility to choose a course in English).

    The following choices may be modified: religion/ethics, ONL, Irish (Irish nationals in the English Section only), ONL Maltese (Maltese nationals in the English section only).

    ONL = Other National Language for categories I and II

     

    Year 2

    Upon entry into S2, pupils will be able to choose a Latin option of 2 periods a week. If this option is chosen it shall be kept up to the end of the cycle that is until the end of S3. This option is not compulsory. For creating a course, a minimum of 7 pupils is required.

    For those students, who will not choose Latin in S2, an ICT option of 2 periods will be available in S3.  The ICT option is not compulsory either.

    Your child may choose neither Latin nor ICT if so wished.

    To drop Latin and choose ICT in S3 is not possible. It is not possible either to choose Latin and ICT at the same time in S3.

    NB! As from S4, pupils who have chosen Latin in S2 and S3 will have a choice to continue with Latin as a 4-period option for the pre-orientation cycle, i.e. S4 and S5.  Having studied the course in year 4 and 5 the pupils can sit the "Latinum Europaeum" exam at our school at the end of S5.

    Opening of the Latin course in S4 depends on the number of pupils who will choose the course in S4.

    Greek pupils in the Greek section can choose an extra course in Ancient Greek, which is guaranteed until the end of year 5.

    The only courses that can be modified are religion/ethics and the complementary courses of Irish and Maltese.

     

    Year 3

    • Latin as a 2-period option course chosen in S2 will continue in S3 and will be kept until the end of S3 It is possible to choose ICT as a 2-period option in S3 only in case your child has not chosen Latin in S2.

    The continuity of the course in the older years above is guaranteed provided that enough pupils have chosen the course. This option is not compulsory.

    • Drop Latin and choose ICT in S3 is not possible. It is not possible to choose Latin and ICT at the same time.

    NB! All pupils will be able to choose ICT as an option in S4, irrespective of their choice of Latin.

    • Music and Art are compulsory courses until the end of S3.

    They may be chosen as options in year 4, or even year 6, without having been studied in year 3 provided the pupil can demonstrate enough knowledge of the topic.

    The only courses that can be modified are religion/ethics and the complementary courses of Irish and Maltese.

    The Religion/Ethics and Human Sciences courses are taught in L2.

    Read more

    4. Subject choices 4th, 5th year in secondary cycle

    An information evening is organized for parents and a detailed information booklet is distributed. Mathematics can be chosen at the 4 or 6 period level. This choice may well affect later choices (math and sciences in the 6th year, university courses….).

    With the agreement of the Director and the class council it is possible to drop from 6 to 4 period Mathematics before the end of the first semester of year 4 or at the end of the 4th year only. A passage from Math 4 to Math 6 is only possible in exceptional cases, subject to passing a level test.

    The following optional courses can be chosen: Latin, Greek (beginners), Economics (in language 2), Language 4 (beginners, any official language of the European Union depending on the availability of a teacher), Art, Music, and ICT. (These last three subjects if possible in LII). The courses of religion and moral are taught in L2.

    For pupils of Irish or Maltese nationality, an ONL course in Irish or Maltese can replace the option of L 4.

    The optional subject courses, except ONL, are opened only if a sufficient number of pupils opt for them (normally 7) however they might not be guaranteed beyond year 5 in case the number of pupils is not sufficient to open the courses (5 pupils) in year 6.

    The total number of periods studied must lie between 31 and 35 (if Math 4 chosen) or 33 and 35 (if Math 6 chosen). In exceptional cases, more than 35 periods might be allowed by the Management.

    Apart from the change in Mathematics mentioned above or possibly a change of religion/ethics, a change of subjects is not allowed either during the 4th and 5th year, or between the two years.

    Read more

    5. Subject choices 6th, 7th year in secondary cycle

    At this stage, the choice becomes complicated and meetings are organized separately for pupils and parents. Moreover, S5 pupils receive a booklet through SMS with detailed information at the end of December. It is not possible to give a comprehensive description of the curriculum, but there are a few hints.

    Subjects are grouped into categories: compulsory, optional, advanced and complementary.

    The optional, advanced and complementary courses are created only when the sufficient number of pupils (i.e. 5) opt for them. Organisational constraints have to be taken into consideration as well.

    Some subjects must have been started in S3 or S4 if they are to be taken at this stage. These are Latin, Greek, Economics and Language 4. Art, Music and ICT also require strong bases, acquired in school or outside.

    It is clearly important to consider future University courses and careers in making the 6th year choice. Many member states send professional career advisors to the school in due time.

     

    General points

    In order to succeed in the higher years of the secondary school, a high level in Language 2 (the “working language”) must be reached. As from year 1, it is used for every possible opportunity in Art, Music, ICT and Physical education. It is used as a language of tuition as from year 3 in Human Science and in Religion (year 3), from year 4 in Economics, History and Geography. If we cannot create an option which is normally taught in the mother tongue because of the lack of pupils (in years 6 and 7) or because of timetable constraints, we shall try to offer pupils the possibility of having the subject in their working language.

     

    Changes in subjects studied

    All requests for changes of subjects must be made to the Mr Belpaume (Curriculum Coordinator) by end of May of the preceding year.

    A change in religion/ethics must always be requested by the end of the previous school year (before April 30).

    Role of the school advisory council:

    Within the framework of the general objectives of the system, the SAC makes proposals and gives opinions with a view to the setting of the school’s priorities and objectives in all areas of school life. These priorities and objectives are used as the basis to produce the multi-annual school development plan and of the annual school plan, based on which the budget required for its implementation will subsequently be drawn up.

     

    The SAC also deals with the school’s internal affairs.

    As the SAC is an advisory body, ‘decisions’ are taken by consensus, responsibility for the final decision lying with the Director or the Administrative Board, depending on the subject.

    The SAC meets twice a year. In November/December and in March/April.

    5. Administrative Council

    (Reform of the European Schools System 2009-D-353-en-4)

     

    The European schools benefit from a certain amount of pedagogical, administrative and financial autonomy and its’ functioning is included in an annual activity report presented by the Director. Autonomy comes within the general framework of the regulations and decisions of the Board of Governors, including the Financial Regulation, which specifies its limits and the obligations in budgetary management terms.

     

    One of the fundamental missions of the Administrative Council will be to adopt a multiannual school plan and an annual school plan as well as its’ budget plan based on an annual activity report.

     

    The composition and role of the Administrative Council are defined in Articles 19 and 20 of the Convention defining the Statute of the European Schools. Article 20, in particular, stipulates that the Administrative Council “shall perform such other administrative duties as may be entrusted to it by the Board of Governors.” The relative autonomy of the school enables it to make decisions at the local level without going through the central governance.

     

    There are three categories of decisions:

    A) Decisions that may have an impact at system level on the other schools.

    • The Administrative Council, chaired by the Secretary-General, the guarantor of the system’s coherence, would take these decisions, the list of which below is neither exhaustive nor prescriptive: Recruitment conditions of locally recruited staff
    • Creation of AAS posts
    • Category II contracts and school fee levels
    • Setting of school fee levels (Category III) within the limits of a banded range determined by the Board of Governors
    • Timetable reductions for teachers and other staff
    • Various activities with implications for the school’s budget
    • School development strategy: cooperation, partnership, sponsors, etc.

    B) Decisions which are the responsibility of the Director in accordance with the provisions of the statutes, rules and regulations, in particular the General Rules, and decisions on points such as :

    • Local in-service training provision for staff
    • ICT: staff development and training
    • Data protection
    • Child protection
    • Transfers provided for by the Financial Regulation
    • Enrolments of pupils

     

    C) Decisions concerning other organizations within the school, such as the Parents’ Association: for example, questions pertaining to the canteen, transport or extra-curricular activities.

     

    Frequency of meetings:

    The Administrative Board meets twice a year. Extraordinary meetings may be convened if need be, according to the provisions of the General Rules of the European Schools (article 64.1).

    The decisions of the AB are taken by consensus as far as possible. If the Chair of the AB finds that it is impossible to reach a consensus, he/she may put the question to the vote.

    The following take part in voting: the Director, the representative of the Commission, the parents’ representatives (one vote), the Staff Committee representatives (one vote), the AAS representative, the Chair.

    Each member of the AB has the right to propose items to enter on the agenda for the next meeting.

    1. School’s medical service

    The school has a medical service.  

    The main activity of this service consists of a monitoring:  

    • of the medical check-ups and   
    • of the pupils' medical records.   

    The opening hours of the school's medical service correspond to the class hours of the school cycle concerned.   

    The school's medical service does not conduct medical consultations. If the pupil's state of health so requires, these consultations must be carried out by the pupil's attending physician. Parents are asked not to send sick pupils to school. Any pupils who show up ill at school should be picked up by their parents/guardian as soon as possible.  

    No medication will be administered without a medical prescription issued by the pupil's attending physician and made available to the medical service or as part of an individualised support plan (P.A.I.) provided to the school through the Ministry of Health.  

    The school's equipment and medical supplies (wheelchairs, crutches, bandages, cold packs, etc.) are intended for internal use only. For example, if your child needs a wheelchair for school use, even for a limited period, please consult your child's attending physician.  

    The School, the CPE and all other childcare facilities are different entities that do not share medical information and/or medicines. 

     

    A)  Medical check-up and record   

    The frequency of medical check-ups for each cycle is as follows:  

    • Pupils in the nursery and primary cycles attend a medical check-up every two years.  
    • Secondary students go to the medical examination in S2, S4 and S6.   

    As far as medical records are concerned:  

    • The medical service does not accept the original of the vaccination card and declines all responsibility in case of loss.  
    • No copy of the vaccination card will be issued by the medical service.  
    • When a pupil/student leaves school, parents are asked to collect the medical school record from the medical service. 

    Course of a medical examination 

    First step: Preparation visit by school nurses 

    Checking of weight and height of pupils. 

    They are in their underwear. 

    eyesight, takes; 

    Check of blood pressure; 

    Urine tests (from urine previously received); 

    Copy of vaccination booklet; 

    The preparation takes about 5 minutes/child 

    The children are then called back a few days later for the medical examination with Dr. Panocetti. 

    Second step: Medical examination by the school doctor 

    This visit is based on the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 24 October 2011 determining the content and frequency of school medicine measurements and examinations and the functioning of the medical, social and educational team (amending the 1987 regulation). 

    These visits take place every two years, starting in M1 and continuing in P1, P3 and P5. Visits are also made to the secondary school. 

    Visits for kindergarten and primary occur on 2 mornings per week. 

    As specified on the sheets distributed to parents before each medical examination, the doctor carries out the following examinations: 

    1. general condition, skin examination 

    1. cardiopulmonary auscultation 

    1. abdominal examination 

    1. examination of ears, throat, teeth 

    1. examination of external genitalia (the examination concerns the boys); 

    1. examination of the musculoskeletal system 

    The children are received by the nurse in groups (girls and boys are separated) and they are examined in underwear by the doctor individually. 

    After the visit, a letter is sent to the parents with necessary information

     B)  Care and support   

    The school's medical service will handle: 

    • accidents at school;  
    • illnesses that have occurred in school;  
    • medical processing as part of an individualised support plan (P.A.I.);  
    • occasional medical treatments under the condition that a medical prescription is available.  

    The school's medical service will not handle:   

    • the acceptance and administration of any medical treatments without the provision of a medical prescription;  
    • medical processing of medical issues that have occurred or appeared outside the school environment (e.g. at home, during the weekend, etc.);  
    • any administrative or medical follow-up such as checking the student's state of health (especially for symptoms that have occurred at home), writing excuses for sports or extracurricular activities, etc.  

    It should be noted that the school's medical service ensures emergency "care", but no medical follow-up. When a pupil's state of health indicates that it is not in the pupil's interest to remain in school, the pupil must be taken over from school as soon as possible by the parent/guardian.   

    Finally, it should be made clear that nursery and primary pupils cannot have medication in their schoolbags. 

    Read more

    2. Accidents

    If an accident occurs at school, the school reserves the right to request assistance from the emergency and response services. In this case, the care and transport of the pupils to the on-call hospital unit is entrusted and provided through ambulance attendants.  

    Parents/guardians are notified by phone:  

    • of the accident;  
    • of the handling (care provided);  
    • any possible follow-up on their behalf (concerning health status or accident declarations);  
    • the location to which their child has been transferred (as a result of an ambulance intervention).  

    In the event of a school accident or an accident on the way “home-school-home, parents must imperatively contact the nurse of the cycle concerned within 3 working days following the accident.   

    They must provide all the information related to the accident so that the School can draw a School Accident Report.   

    Failure to declare an accident will result in invoices and medical expenses related to the accident not being reimbursed by the Accident Insurance Association (AAA).   

    Read more

    3. Notifiable (contagious) diseases

    The medical service is not conducting any medical diagnosis. This must be done externally to the school.  

    If a child contracts a reportable or contagious disease, parents must immediately notify the school and respect the rules of school eviction as indicated in the medical certificate.  

    No information about the infected pupil or the circumstances of the infection will be communicated outside the school's medical service and the administrative staff directly concerned.   

    The school will only communicate internally upon request or recommendation from the Ministry of Health in the interest of the school population. 

    Read more

    4. Children with special health needs

    Pupils for whom special care or protection is to be foreseen for their health, an individualised support plan (P.A.I.), must be provided at the beginning of the school year or when a statement requiring such protection is issued.  

    This is mandatory, and no exceptions can be made. In the absence of an individualised support plan (P.A.I.), the school considers that the pupils do not require any treatment. For more information about the different procedures and modalities, please contact your child's attending physician or refer to the information:   

    https://guichet.public.lu/fr/citoyens/famille/parents/assistance-enfance/projet-accueil-individualise.html  

    It should be mentioned that the school, as part of the implementation of each individualised support plan (P.A.I), will organize a consultation meeting with the people concerned and directly interacting with the pupil.   

    As part of an individualised support plan (I.A.P.), individual and prescribed medications for the pupil in question will only be administered if a complete medical kit is provided to the medical service along with the emergency protocol. 

    Read more

    5. Food allergies and intolerances

    Any pupil with a food allergy and/or intolerance can benefit from a hypoallergenic meal or be a "spreader".  

    In case of food allergy and/or intolerance, parents are responsible:  

    • of the registration and  
    • of the request for hypoallergenic meals or spreadable meals from the canteen company. Meals with exclusion of restrictive foods are not an option.   

    For pupils who for health reasons need special supervision at mealtimes:   

    • the school does not offer one-to-one or specific supervision 
    • pupils who cannot take meals in the canteen must be escorted and supervised during the meal by their parents/guardians.   
    Read more

    6. Social and Psychological Service

    The school has a psychological service.   

    The intervention of this service consists mainly of:  

    • to provide support for pupils' educational, emotional and behavioural difficulties;  
    • to participate in procedures for specific school needs;  
    • to support the pedagogical staff by informing them of the specific needs of pupils.   

    School psychologists do not carry out psycho-pedagogical and/or diagnostic assessments. These assessments must be carried out externally to the school.   

    The school has links with various social and psychological services. Parents whose children have learning or behavioural problems are asked to approach the educational advisors or head teacher for the secondary cycle and the classroom teachers for the primary cycle in the first instance. 

    Care Team  

    In order to increase the efficiency of the exchange between the medical and psychological services, a Care Team has been created.   

    This unit promotes communication and cooperation between services (School Doctor, Nurses, School Psychologist). To this end, regular meetings between the members of the unit are organised throughout the school year.

    7. Well-being of pupils

    The ethos of the European School Luxembourg II is founded on a basis of mutual respect between all members of the school community to encourage the self-respect of the pupils and preserve their right to emotional and physical privacy. The school is a place of learning and socialization, where the notion of ‘living together’, the wellbeing, as well as the success of everyone should be emphasised. Therefore, it is a priority to establish a school culture of acceptance, tolerance and respect, where all members of the school community (pupils, parents, teachers, management, nurses, duty teams) must be involved. In all cycles of the European School (nursery, primary and secondary) teachers play a crucial role in creating an atmosphere of support and empathy both inside and beyond the classroom with the setting-up of various projects, workshops, common projects (KiVa-project) and class-independent actions. For the students of the secondary school, those actions / workshops focus on drug prevention and sexual education. They are realized together with local experts (police, Planning Familial, etc.).  

    Establishing a positive climate at school is implemented by organizing staff meetings, class and parent meetings and providing newsletters to families. Reinforcing positive social interactions and inclusiveness is part of this culture. School staff keeps parents regularly informed, make them feel welcome, and treat them as partners. Thus, we need parents’ active collaboration with all stakeholders in the education of their children. Parents need to contribute to encourage a peaceful and serenity atmosphere within the class and the entire school. It is necessary that they fully engage with the school and respect class rules and that they, too, set good examples to their children. They are required to be respectful, supportive, positive and collaborative. Further parents can contribute to a positive school climate through the parent association (APEEEL2), volunteering, and school improvement events. On this basis alone we will be able to achieve common goals like creating a safe and secure learning environment and developing an atmosphere of cooperation, self-confidence and the well-being of the school community.  

    Any information that raises concerns about the welfare and protection of any pupil is transmitted to the appropriate school staff and any allegation is treated as a matter of utmost seriousness. Personal freedom and the right to human dignity are fundamental human rights. In any conflict the rights and protection of the child are paramount. It is understood and respected that sensitivity and understanding in dealing with a child protection case is of extraordinary importance. According to the Child Protection document of the European Schools the role of the school is to provide an appropriate education for all pupils. 

    It is our aim that a culture of openness exists throughout the school, where all members of the community feel allow to express their concerns and anxieties without fear of retaliation or humiliation and have confidence that they will receive a serious, sensitive and professional response from the members of the social and psychological service.

    20. Education policy for Language 2

    PRIMARY

    Official referral documents: 

    Curriculum - Langue Deux - Second Language - Zweite Sprache Revision of the Decisions of the Board of Governors concerning the organisation of studies and courses in the European Schools

     

    The purpose of this page is to briefly explain the objectives and organisation of Language 2 teaching (German, English, French) within the Primary cycle of the European School of Luxembourg 2.

    The specific programs of each Language 2 are available on the official website of the European Schools.

     

    Read more

    1. Classes organisation

    Students from P1 to P5 benefit from a daily Language 2 period, equivalent to 5 periods over the week.

    The periods are 30 minutes/day for P1 and P2, and 45 minutes/day for P3, P4 and P5.

     

    P2 to P5 begin Language 2 classes during the second week of the new school year while P1 begin during the first week of October.

    Read more

    2. Pedagogical choice: Controlled heterogeneity

    P1 and P2 are heterogeneous groups. The goal is to optimize the teaching of Language 2 for all students, regardless of their school and preschool background and family context.

    P3, P4 and P5 are also organized in a heterogeneous way with the following nuance: the majority of the pupils follow the "Mainstream" groups, however support groups can be organised, with reduced numbers if possible, for pupils presenting higher levels of difficulty. These groups are formed according to observation and assessment conducted by the teachers of Language 2. The parents of the students concerned are always informed.

    At the end of the first semester and upon the recommendation of the teachers of Language 2, a change of group may be required for a student (for example: moving from the support group to the Mainstream or vice versa).

    Beginner students joining our school in P3, P4 or P5 will benefit from a system of remedial classes organized during school time.

    This organization applies to all 3 languages 2.

    3. Numbers

     

    The regulations of the European Schools require the formation of groups of maximum 25 pupils.

    As explained in point II, the numbers may be smaller due to the setup of support groups, if possible.

    Read more

    4. Didactic principles

    The principles followed by the teachers are based on the recommendations of the programs specific to each language 2 as well as on the document 2012-08-D-13-en-2:

    « Language learning is part of a holistic process involving all the senses. Pupils should be enabled to use language in context through project-based enquiry.

    Planning for teaching and learning in Language II must take into account the prior skills, knowledge and requirements of the learners. Teachers must also be cognisant of research and development in terms of language acquisition, as outlined in the "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: learning, teaching and assessment". The Joint Language II Curriculum is based on a dynamic concept of continuous competence building.

    The L II curriculum is based on a dynamic model of teaching and learning. The teacher should create a motivational, stimulating learning background through an activity-based and thought-provoking learning environment, including the modelling and scaffolding of new learning and careful monitoring of the progress each pupil is making. The learner must be an active participant, aware of his/her learning processes and adopt an active role in this process. »

    5. Selected methods and manuals

    The choice of methods and manual is the responsibility of the teacher. However, a harmonization is sought within each Language 2. As of this 2019/2020 school year, the textbooks used are harmonized within each Language 2.

    6. Level reached in the primary cycle

     « The learning objectives are benchmarked against the reference levels of the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).

    The first three levels of achievement are relevant for L II education at primary level :

    • A 1 Breakthrough
    • A 2 Waystage
    • B 1 Threshold

    Students with no command of the second language when entering schooling in Primary Class 1 should reach level A2 by the end of primary education. Students with an advanced level of language competence could reach level B1, at least in some of the competence areas. »

    Read more

    8. Parent / teacher communication

    Parents of students are invited to an information meeting at the beginning of the school year with their child's Language 2 teacher.

    At any time, and throughout the year, teachers can ask parents for a meeting about their child. The same is true for parents of pupils with regard to the teacher of their child.

    In order to facilitate communication between all parents and the teacher, a reference parent may be elected / appointed by the parents of the class.

    It is the responsibility of the teacher to organize communication with the parents of pupils. Regular and organized communication is however recommended.

    Activities in Language 2 class or any outings organized by teachers may have a financial cost. For this purpose, a financial contribution of maximum 10 may be requested to parents of the class. This "class fund" will have to be managed by the students' parents themselves, for example via the parent of a referent pupil. The teacher will have to explain the use of the expenses.

    2. ACTIONS WITHOUT BORDERS - AKTION OHNE GRENZEN – ACTIONS SANS FRONTIERES

    Welcome to our Association! 

    Welcome to our Association

     

    Actions Sans Frontières (ASF) or Actions without Borders of the European Schools in Luxembourg is composed of pupils, parents, teachers and members of staff of the European Schools in Luxembourg who wish to support together specific projects concerning children in developing countries. 

    ASF’s two main objectives are:  

    • On one hand to raise awareness among pupils concerning problems such as poverty in less developed countries, as well as awaken the pupils' sense of solidarity and their desire to share, while allowing them to get involved in development aid and helping children in need.   

    • On the other hand, to raise funds for projects in developing countries. The total amount of funds raised is donated to these projects which must be precise, practical and completed within a limited timeframe. Their realisation is followed by ASF. 

    Unfortunately, 2020-2021 was a very difficult year due to the Covid 19 virus.  As all activities involving the gathering of students were cancelled, A.S.F. was not able to carry out its normal fund-raising activities within the two European Schools in Luxembourg.  Therefore, all its activities such as the Christmas Market, the Sports Days of primary and nursery, the secondary discos, the sales of cakes during theatre shows and concerts in both schools, the information and cultural discovery stands held during the school fêtes in May, did not take place due to the Covid sanitary crisis and restrictions.  Our funds were therefore inferior to funds raised during previous years.  This is why there was no call for new projects in spring 2021. Nevertheless, the A.S.F. Committee decided to carry on supporting its long-term funding to 6 projects that had been submitted to us before.  

    Thanks to donations from parents and its members, ASF managed to raise the amount of 14 181 € that was donated to different projects in KENYA, BURUNDI, TOGO, SÉNÉGAL, CONGO and COLOMBIA as well as an emergency aid to Covid 19 victims in India.  

    We hope that the 2021-2022 school year will allow ASF to be productive again in raising awareness and stimulating participation in all the events that it organises.  All members of our school community can take part in our actions, the registration with ASF being free of charge.

    3. Fairtrade

    EEL2_Faitrade Since February 13th 2015, we have been a Fairtrade certified school, thanks to the support of the management, teachers, parents, and especially to the enthusiasm and commitment of the students. 

    This is our story: 

    It all started in the 2012/2013 school year with the Italian S3 class; we started to work on the Fairtrade project and the meaning of fair trade. We started to collect information and, for the first Christmas market in the new school of Mamer, we have designed and printed on our t-shirts the sentence "Not for us but for them" which became our logo!  

    Today  

    The Fairtrade Committee aims to inform and educate our School’s students on the different aspects of Fair Trade. Our team is currently made up by 18 people and many volunteers, active during various events. STEP BY STEP we started great traditions in our school:  

    • Christmas Market: Awareness raising of COCOA production with Fairtrade chocolate and fruit fountain. 
    • Valentine’s Day: Awareness raising of Kenya's Roses-producing cooperatives and Roses sale, only it the secondary cyclel. 
    • Mothers' Day: Awareness raising of Kenya's Roses Producing co-operatives and Roses Sale, for the nursery and primary cycles.  
    • School Celebration: awareness raising on the manufacture of footballs; quiz, balloons and Fairtrade cotton. Pancakes and Fairtrade Fruit Salads.  
    • Preparation of a panel to raise students' awareness of the concept of "Fairtrade school", prepared entirely by secondary school students.  
    • Awarding of Fraitrade diplomas to all students who actively participated in the different activities throughout the year. 
    • Treasure hunt, two different ones, dedicated to secondary school students and school staff.  The winners received a "fairtrade basket" .  

    The Fairtrade Committee, thanks to all the actions carried out throughout the school year, has been able to support the primary school of Mitantana (Madagascar). 

    The committee is strongly supported by the pupils, parents and teachers of the primary and secondary cycles and also by former pupils of the school. 

    Thanks to the collaboration, the availability and the generosity of the whole school, our journey and our steps are progressing steadily...

    The due amount concerning the school fees (Minerval), the registration fee for the Baccalaureate, the file for university enrolment and extra Baccalaureate optional courses, photocopies, Intermath books, social insurance, badge and locker are already mentioned in the bill of October from the current school year.

    In case of early departure of a student during the period of November to January, small fees will be refundable at 50% when paid for the whole school year.

    Civil liability in case of school accidents

    This extra insurance is seized when the “Association Assurance Accident (AAA) does not intervene. The amount of this insurance premium is around 3.95 € (tbc) per pupil and per school year. This insurance is compulsory for all students and is invoiced to the parents each year regardless of the length of time the student attends the school. 

    Cost for photocopies, Intermath, Badges for the seconday school

    After the first Educational Council of the school year, the amounts will be fixed for the year and will be communicated to the parents

    In accordance with the decision of the Education Council, the school decided to centralize the invoicing of photocopies carried out by the teachers for educational use within the classroom. The aim is to avoid that teachers must collect the photocopying fees from each individual pupil.

    The lump sum proposed is based on the real consumption during the current year. An evaluation will be carried out at the end of every school year to verify if the sum paid by the parents covered the photocopying costs.

    The costs paid by the parents credited to a specific extra budgetary account. A report of the use of the extra-budgetary accounts is communicated annually to the members of the administrative board.

    File for university enrolment

    If the School has to manage the enrolments applications in higher education, the pupil will be invoiced an amount for each application, calculated according to the following rules:

    Small applications: Enrolment applications in higher education need a special application dossier through application platforms. The average extra time spent processing these applications is around 2 periods per application, resulting in an additional cost of 130 €.

    Major applications: Applications for registration which require a minimum of 4 working periods, resulting in an additional cost of 260 €.

    26. Accidents and Insurances

    Definition of a school accident

    A school accident is characterized by the sudden appearance of a physical injury due to an external cause. School accidents shouldn’t be confused with previous injuries or illnesses.

    In the event of a school accident, any student attending a school in Luxembourg is covered by the Association Assurances Accidents (AAA).

    This insurance covers accidents that occur during:

    - lessons, sports lessons, swimming lessons, break and canteen periods;

    - on the direct way: home - school - home,

    - extracurricular activities organized by the school and by the Parents' Association;

    - visits, outings, excursions and school trips organized by the School,

    - S5 compulsory internship

     

    Role of the school: Obligation to report all accidents at school or on the way to school

    In the event of a school/way accident, parents must contact the concerned cycle nurse within 3 working days in order to draw up an accident report.

    This must be drawn up and signed by the School and sent to the Association Assurance Accident (AAA) as soon as possible.

     

    Parents' role: Obligation to provide the AAA with the required documents

    As soon as the AAA has received the accident declaration, it sends a document to the parents/guardians withe the procedure.

    It is the parents' responsibility to follow up the case and provide the AAA (not the School) with all the required documents.

    If the accident report is not submitted, the AAA will not reimburse any medical bills or expenses.

     

    Notes

    Accident-related costs are never reimbursed at 100%; the parents are always responsible for a proportion of the costs.

    Accident-related costs are never reimbursed by the school, but by the AAA.

    More information about AAA

     

    Supplementary Civil Liability of the School

    If, for any reason, the AAA does not cover an accident, the School will refer the matter to its complementary Civil Liability insurance company, which will decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether or not to accept the case.
