1) Sjaloom Choir We have a cool choir in our school. We rehearse every Tuesday noon and every Tuesday evening. Only the youngest ones rehearse on Friday. We enter all sorts of competitions like Europa Cantat and much more. We have lots of fun and it’s a cool place where you can just hang out with your friends and sing your heart out.

2) 100 Days 100 Days is a tradition that we celebrate when there’s only a 100 days of school left for the seniors, then they are allowed to get all crazy and wild for one day. They wear costumes like ‘where’s waldo’ and ‘ Supermario’. They don’t have classes all day and if it doesn’t rain in the afternoon they do a dance in front of the whole school.

3) Tutti Frutti Every Tuesday the people of the school council buy lots of fruit and they give it to the students so they are sure that we eat enough fruit. You can also win fruit of the week and then you get one pound of the fruit that was given that week. We love it.

4) School paper In our school we have a group of people who write the school paper ‘Aan-zet’. It’s a magazine that we get where you can find articles about what has happened in the school. For example about sports day, a school trip, a contest and lots of other stuff. You can also read poetry or small stories. It’s a cool thing to read when you’re bored. It appears three times in a school year.
