CLUBS 2026-2027

Born from students' ideas, the clubs are run by the students themselves, with the support of a staff member.

What is a club?

An after-school activity proposed by a group of students, supported by a teacher or member of the education staff whom they have asked to act as their adviser.

  • Each student may be a member of two clubs at most and hold only one executive role (president, officer…).
  • Joining a club means accepting and respecting the club charter, including the commitment to be as inclusive as possible.
  • To meet in a school room, the club submits a request to the deputy head's office, with the list of participants, one week in advance.
