Fires at the school

UPDATE

Message from the APEEE Board 

The APEEE has learned about the arson incident which took place for the second consecutive day in the Secondary school’s toilets. The APEEE gives its full support to the direction of EEB IV and the Brussels police for identifying the culprit. The APEEE invites parents and pupils to communicate to the school direction any element of fact which could help to this effect. It is incumbent upon the whole school community – parents, teachers, school direction and other staff members – to be vigilant and increase awareness among pupils on the risks of such acts which are not merely acts of mischief but are in fact criminal acts which present a very serious potential danger with dramatic consequences everyone wants to avoid.
