Scandinavian school of Brussels - blog

Last weekend, there were a lot of different activities going on at the school. First of all last friday, the staff had a big dinner and party at the castle to celebrate SSB's 40th anniversary. Saturday the castle was opne for students and parents during the evening to come and ¨mingle¨ with a glass of champagne and some snacks, this was also to celebrate the anniversary. During this event on the saturday, My friend Idar and I were asked to spend the evening at the school, be nicely dressed and stand by the door welcoming people to the gathering. It was nice to be there and wish everyone welcome and talk to the familier faces. 

 

Last sunday however, the school held the yearly SSB DAY. Each year, the school is open to everyone, students, teachers, families, old students and visitors. There are plenty of differnet activities to do. Such as differnt food from all the different scandinavian countries, a music café (which I did a performance at), a fashion show which one of our students held, different competitions where you can win prizes (last year I won a return ticket from SAS from Brussles to any Scandinavian capital), exhibitions from different classes and also a guided tour of the castle and the boarding facilities (Johan, Elise and I walked around with one of the houseparents showing our rooms and giving information to the ones on the tour). This year the SSB DAY was bigger than the former years due to the anniversary. I had a great day and it was nice to meet former students. It is a bit of a tradition to go to SSB DAY and everyone really enjoys it. 

 

Here are some pictures that I took during the day:
