OLVP is one of the important campuses of secondary education in Sint-Niklaas. It houses general, technical and vocational disciplines for 12 to 18-year-old pupils. Alongside a few other schools, OLVP is part of a bigger organ, the school community “Sint-Nicolaas”. We host more than 1100 pupils and about 140 teachers are working here. We are a diverse school with 37 different nationalities. More than a quarter of our students have another native language than Dutch. Just as any other school, OLVP has its own profile, identity and atmosphere. The catchphrase we believe in is ‘Every person counts’ or ‘ieder 1 telt’. This phrase is our guidance we use to improve our pedagogic project. Students with special needs (ADHD, dyslexia, hearing impaired, visually impaired,…) are being closely supervised during their education. Since April, 2012, everyone at our school is online and tablet education is introduced. All pupils have access to the wireless network. They learn to take responsibility: no restrictions are imposed, but we provide a reasonable control of the use of devices and the Internet. OLVP has had several years of experience in different Comenius and Erasmus+ projects.
