All our pupils eat a free, warm and healthy lunch at school every day. The food is prepared in our school kitchen by professional cooks.

An ordinary schoolday begins often at 8 am and ends at 1 or 2 pm. During the day there are 3-4 15 minute breaks when the pupils go outside and play. In the winter they can slide down the small hill on our schoolyard or go skiing and skating. That is really fun. In the autumn and spring the pupils like playing football and playing hide and seek.
