WHO WE ARE

Our APEEEL2 for Our School

European School Luxembourg II, Mamer
Inauguration on 2 October 2016

APEEEL2 is the official representative  of parents of pupils at the European School Luxembourg II recognised by the European School Statutes in so far as concerns related to the School and other third parties go. All parents of pupils attending the European School Luxembourg II are represented by APEEEL2.

We are a non-profit organisation made up of voluntary members from amongst parents of pupils in Nursery, Primary and/or Secondary. We are the voice of parents of all language sections including parents of SWALS (Students Without A Language Section) and ONL (Other National Language) and pupils attending the European School Luxembourg II, Bertrange-Mamer.

 
Amongst other things…

We are directly involved in the decision-making process of all aspects of School life, and can therefore serve as a channel of communication to members of the School Management team, as well as, via INTERPARENTS, also to the Board of Governors in Brussels, by passing on your ideas and suggestions, relaying your questions and drawing attention to problems.

We are active participants in the Education Councils, as well as in the School Advisory Council and Administration Board meetings, and in the Canteen, Health and Safety, Library Committees.

We communicate important information about the School.

We provide advice to parents on different issues (bullying and discipline, choice of options, Educational Support, ONL, SWALS etc.).

We provide support to, and work alongside the School, in the organisation of various activities and events (Parents Coffees, School Fête, BAC ceremony) as well as specific initiatives (Careers event, talks for parents).

We co-ordinate the class delegates network.

We maintain a Social Fund to provide financial assistance, under certain conditions, and are statutory members of the Coopérative Scolaire which has been set up recently to better manage the organisation of the non-obligatory school trips.

We actively support our partner Associations: Actions sans frontières, ATSEEE, FairTrade, Mots de Zaza…and much more.
