20th anniversary of the school

Our school will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year!

In order to celebrate this event together, the community of the European school Brussels III invites you and your family to participate in various events and activities that reflect the school spirit, the values and the traditions of our school.

At 1.30 pm the school will proudly inaugurate our new solar panels and have an aerial photo taken of the school grounds and community.

"To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their school and imagine its future, secondary students wish to launch a survey and organise a round-table discussion. On the day of the Springfest, they will interview not only their classmates and their teachers but also the parents on the challenges the school community will have to face in the coming years. Come and help them imagine that future: they will hold a stand "EEB3 20 years and after?" on the bridge leading to the canteen building. They will process the results on the same day and publish them the next day during Topoï, when they will hold a debate for all secondary students representatives."

Primary & secondary activities

This year the range of activities for primary & secondary has increased.

In the morning, nursery and primary children will play games and undertake various activities under their teacher's supervision. The class shows will take place throughout the day on the podium.

From 11.30 am onwards, your children will have the possibility to have fun on jumping castles, play box, fishing ducks, chess, circus initiation and giant wooden games.

They can practice origami, have their face painted or attend a Kamishibaï (Japanese theatre). The children will also have the opportunity to do wall climbing and drive a cuistax, have fun in the escape room and in Ford Boyard and for the pupils of P5 the famous bumper cars are available.

On the other hand, the secondary students will offer you fashion shows; the finals of the football, handball and basketball tournaments as well as a music festival.

Your children will have fun on different activities such as wonderland, Fort Boyard, escape room, video games, wall climbing, driving cuistax, playing mini-football, mini-basketball and petanque, etc.

For the students of S1-2-3, there will be a discotheque from 4.30 pm to 6 pm. Students of S1-2-3 are allowed to stay ​on the school premises in ​dedicated area​s. The following activities will be at their disposal: video games, flight simulator and the Big wall.

In the meantime, parents are welcome at ​ the Music Café!!!!

A new activity is being organised, namely the “EEB3 Bookshop”, during SPRINGFEST. The purpose is to stimulate a reading culture in the school. Therefore, we ask our students (nursery up to secondary) to donate one of their books (in good condition).

These books will then be on sale at a very attractive price (1-3 €) at the “EEB3 Bookshop” situated in the study room (A16 secondary building).

Plans will be displayed in the school to enable you to locate all the food/drinks spots and primary/secondary activities.

In order to reduce the plastic garbage at the Spingfest, all disposals used at the Eurovillage are made out of biodegradable cardboard or PLA plastic.

If you want to contribute even more do not hesitate to bring your own mugs, reusable water bottle or plates!!!!
