A sweet treat for all...

This year the Parents’ Association on behalf of all parents initiated a new “Danke” project.

This initiative was a small gesture to acknowledge our appreciation for all...

Universities Abroad: Application Support -...

Dear Parents, Trends are constantly changing in higher education, so it is of great importance to have up to date information in order to be able to make a university application stand out.

Car Sharing Map Is Back!...

Dear Parents, Our Car Sharing Map is back! This is an application we introduced in 2012 or so, and needed updating because Google changed their Maps API. Thanks to our intern, Luis, it is live again.

Student Exchanges - Students Looking...

The Parents' Associations of the European School run an informal network, Intercambio, to facilitate the exchange of students between the European schools. Not all schools are willing or able to accept exchange students, but most have been able to organise it. But this only works if host familes are found. Even if your child does not attend the same class...

Blue Arrow Project: ESF PA promotes European values at Christmas time

Details: Published: 28 December 2017 28 December 2017; Hits: 995 995

Dear Parents,

In all European cultures, the end of the year is synonymous with festivities for children thanks to Saint Martin, Saint Nicholas, Santa Lucia, Santa Claus; it also a time that marks the awaiting of the Three Kings.

In many European countries there is a tale that says, that well-behaved children find a small present in their shoes on one winter morning in front of the fireplace.

This year, the Parents' Association is pleased to introduce children of pre-primary and primary 1 to a tradition coming from Italy: the "Befana", by offering to these children the DVD "La Freccia Azzurra", the "Blue Arrow".

With this DVD, we would like to make children sensitive from a very young age about the many traditions that are the foundation of our European culture and history.

This cartoon is not only interesting culturally but it is also and above all a work of great quality and the fruit of a European co-production.

We wish that the viewing of this film be a delight for you, your children and your loved ones.

We wish you safe and happy holidays.
From your Parents Association

Halloween Party 2017 Thank you!

Dear Helpers*, Parents, Pupils,

Thanks so much for your help with the Halloween party! Thank you for providing cakes and finger food and for thinking of children with allergies so that they too could savour the goodies. Our gratitude goes also to all helpers* present at the party, among all: Simone Cruciani (P1&P4-IT), Michele Bellomo (P5-IT) and Emese Farkas(P2-DE). It’s because of enthusiastic people like you that ESF PA can organise fun events for our kids. It was so much fun seeing them celebrate, try to elucidate the magic tricks, freeze during the photo shooting, follow the dance steps and thoroughly enjoy the party.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2018!
