Update: The information below was the case before the Covid Pandemic forced the School to cancel Springfest 2020 and drastically reduce Springfest 21 & 22.
As a result Parents are not currently involved in Springfest. The APEEE will liaise with the School to ask that Springfest 2023 is returned to a whole school community event in some form.

Springfest

Springfest is the annual flagship event of the school.

It is jointly organised by the school, APEEE and Secondary students as an event for the whole school and wider school community - a fun-filled day when lessons are replaced by a range of activities for all ages from Nursery to Secondary. Food stands from each language section are available, and Primary students present shows they have created.

Each year year the Springfest is centered around a theme chosen by the Secondary students, e.g. ‘Sustainable Europe’, ‘Under the Sea’, ‘Dream your life’, etc. An Opening Ceremony is organised by the Secondary students following the year's theme.

Any profits from the event are used to support students’ projects as well as to support charities. Examples of charities supported in the past include Think Pink, The Smile of the Child asbl, Demiclowns asbl, Panos&Cressida4Life asbl, The Giraffe Project, and Mikembo-Mukini.

Organisation and Planning

Each year, information on the organisation and planning for Springfest is sent out in advance with details on:
  • - Planned activities on the day
  • - Access/security
  • - Information related to the impact on the running of APEEE/OIB services (transport, canteen and extra-curricular activities)
  • - Sale of tickets & bracelets
  • - Request for volunteers

    Volunteers

    • - Manage / help with a food stand
    • - Contribute food for the food stands (cakes / savoury dishes / specialities)
    • - Help with running games for the Nursery / Primary sections
