Eureka! is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:30 to 14:30.

Lost items that are found by the school staff are put into the Eureka! boxes that are placed all around the school campus (at the entrances to the nursery, primary and secondary buildings, the canteen, the gymnasiums, the APEEE transport office, the science building …) On Tuesday and Friday mornings, the Eureka! volunteers collect these items from the Eureka! boxes and display them in the Eureka room.

IN NURSERY AND PRIMARY

  • The students of named items will be identified and their class teacher notified.
  • Unnamed items will be stored in the Eureka! room. Students can pick them up during opening hours (see above).

IN SECONDARY

  • The students of named items will be identified and notified via email (the class representative of their class will be asked to forward the email to their parents as the Eureka! Team does not have access to parents’ email addresses).
  • The items will be stored in the Eureka! room. Students can pick them up during opening hours (see above).

 Unclaimed items will be donated to charity twice a year!

LABELLING

The Eureka! Team strongly encourages you to label your clothes, your bags, your sports equipment, your bottles, your lunch boxes… In fact, anything that can be labelled should be. It may seem tedious, or even futile, but when a labelled object ends up in the Eureka! room, it doesn’t stay there for long. The Eureka! team will make sure that all tagged objects that end up in the Eureka! room are quickly returned to their owners.

VOLUNTEERS

Eureka is a service run entirely by a few parent volunteers who collect, return and store items lost by pupils. If you have some spare time and enjoy doing the work of Sisyphus in a fun environment, contact the Eureka! team at the following address eureka@bru4.eu

The Eureka! Team regularly publishes videos of the found items. The school sends the Eureka! newsletter (including the links to the videos) to all parents. If you see an item that belongs to you, send an email to eureka@bru4.eu, specifying the item, name and class of your child.

The Eureka room is in the basement of the J building (primary).
