  • “Pedagogische studiedag, vrijdag”: During the school year, there are a couple of pre-planned free days for the students - called ‘pedagogische studiedagen’ (= pedagogical study days). On these days, the teachers go on extra (re)training, learning new techniques, study pedagogical materials or changes that happened to the curriculum.

  • Doing something on Wednesday afternoon: In kindergarten, primary and secondary school the typical schoolweek consists of four full days and one half day until 12 o’clock - the Wednesday. It’s not uncommon that on these days, friends hang out together or (sporting) clubs organise their activities.
