A positive and safe school environment

Students perform best in an environment where they can be themselves and where they are seen, heard, and understood. An environment where they are allowed to make mistakes and where receiving support to achieve one’s personal goals is not a weakness, but the most natural thing in the world. In this way, self-confidence grows and the joy of learning increases.

Respect

Your son or daughter must feel safe at school and in the classroom. This is not only about bullying, but also about how we interact with one another. Respect for others is a fundamental principle. Because the number of students at the school is limited, everyone knows each other. Nothing goes unnoticed, and everything is made open for discussion. Lifelong friendships are also formed at the school. Het Schakel College expects its teachers to provide a clear structure in their lessons and to proactively respond to any changing or noteworthy behavior in students.

Guidance and Support

At Het Schakel College, the mentor and the care coordinator play an important role in achieving a safe school climate. They essentially serve as confidants. Together with your child, the mentor maps out the right path to achieve success, supported by the care coordinator if necessary. We ask students to do their best, but they are also allowed to make mistakes, as we can learn from them.

Clear rules

Clear rules apply at Het Schakel College to safeguard social safety. Aggression, drug use, and transgressive behavior are not tolerated. Naturally, you can also expect our school to be safe in a literal sense. For instance, students are not permitted to leave the premises during school hours, and our buildings comply with all legal requirements.

We consider a safe school climate to be very important. To safeguard this, the foundation has established several protocols that provide clarity to children, teachers, and parents on how we act preventatively and how we handle incidents. You can read more about this via the link below
