Ubhapi NGO would like to thank Live Aid 2009 for its generous contribution towards the construction of the new school for the poor children in Lahore. We are very pleased to announce that the amount raised will cover the building of one class room 6 by 4 meters. This class room will be able to provide excellent education for loads of children. To commemorate your kind donation we would like to dedicate a plaque in honour of Europese School Bergen. This NGO is an exciting ongoing project and we can make a difference, we are planning more actions throughout the year.
Ubuntu! Be the change!
WE ZIJN KAMPIOENEN 2010 !!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS 2010 !!!
Here is some really impressive news which came last week:
Wat een ontzettend mooie dag gisteren ! En wat een ongelofelijk spannend
toernooi! Iedereen heeft zeer goed gespeeld en iedereen heeft ook gisteren
minimaal een partij gewonnen. Aman was zelfs de beste speler van het hele
toernooi en hebt absoluut alles gewonnen!
Gezien dat de rest van de team 1 spelers maximaal een verlies hadden was het
uiteindelijk duidelijk dat we nu voor de derde keer op rij de wisselbeker
terug krijgen !! Met 25,5 punten en dat is 6,5 meer dan de nummer 2!! Dat
betekent ook dat team 1 door gaat naar de Noord-Hollandse finale in
Krommenie op 20 maart.
Team Europese School 3 heeft 12,5 punten gescoord en was 8e en Europese
School 2 9e met 12 punten. Team 4 heeft beëindigd op een 13e positie met 9
punten.
Hartelijk dank aan iedereen voor het meedoen !! De wisselbeker komt morgen
naar de school !!
Bijgevoegd nog het einduitslag en hier nog twee links naar foto’s van het
toernooi:

Met vriendelijke groeten,

What a terrific day yesterday ! And what an incredibly intense tournament!
Everybody played exptremely well and each and every player also won at least
one game. Aman was completely unbeatable and won everything and became the
best player of the tournament!
Since the rest of the team 1 players lost a maximum of one game it became
clear that we would again win the trophy back for the third year in a row!!
With 25.5 points team 1 scored 6.5 points more than the number 2!! This also
means team 1 will proceed to the North-Holland finals in Krommenie on March
20.
Team European School 3 scored 12.5 points and was 8th and European School 2
became 9th with 12 points. Team 4 ended up in 13th place with 9 points.
Many thanks to everybody for participating !! The trophy will arrive

Absences and Lates
To all students and parents,
We have the technology with the gmail and the Web-Untis systems to check absences and lates very efficiently now, and we would like to inform you of some steps which we will take immediately to check on lates and absences.
Teachers will enter the names of students who are late and absent in the first lesson and by 09:30 the study advisers will make a check of the students who are absent. They will then send an email to inform the parents using the gmail system immediately, and parents should therefore know immediately if their son/daughter has not arrived at school and are unexcused.
For this system to work properly we need the cooperation of the teachers, students and parents. Teachers will need to fill in the details on time (at 09:15); students need to arrive on time to lessons and we need parents to contact the school by phone or by email at child.absent@esbergen.org by 09:00. Absences after that time will be considered to be unexcused unless the circumstances are exceptional.
We would advise parents to check that the links between the gmail account and the parents accounts are working properly.
In addition to this check of the first period, the teachers will also send in lates and absences for all their classes by lunchtime and the end of the school day. The study advisers will also carry out a spot check of a class at random during the day.
In this way we hope to improve the attitude of everyone in the school community towards lates and absences and make it unnecessary for us to send out a list of unexcused absences with the reports. It must be pointed out that all absences count towards the 10% absence rate, and therefore we hope that you will not send in requests for your son/daughter to leave early before a holiday or arrive back late after one.

Dear Parents,
We would like to inform you that the President of the Parent’s Association and the Director of the European school have had several meetings with the Municipality of Bergen on a topic that concerns us all, especially the movement of traffic around and in the vicinity of our school. In June 2009 we addressed our concerns, in a PowerPoint presentation which contained photographs supporting our concerns and those of other organisations close to the school.
We understand that the Municipality of Bergen is willing to make changes to the infrastructure in both “Nessen” and “Churchillaan” There are more meetings planned in 2010. In preparation for this the school community can greatly assist us here by to acting responsibly when leaving their cars in the vicinity of the school and by using the allocated parking areas already set aside and available for parking now. We are aware that there is not enough parking at present and that more is required. This is the objective of our next meeting.
In the meantime we are asking the school community to show their responsibility and contribute towards improving the immediate traffic situation. The bus stop by the roundabout for example is intended for buses only as it is the only safe place where the student can get in or off the bus. This is currently not the case. Please try to avoid parking at the roundabout.
Our objective is to ensure that your children arrive at school in a safe manner and arrive home safely as well. We count on your support to help us make this happen.
Kind regards,
Jonas Jatautas Andrea Stadthalter
Director President Parents’ Association

Heart For Haiti
The International Cooking Groups, in cooperation with the Haitian families at our school are holding a school wide Bake Sale on February 11-12.
We are looking for your donations of cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and your support by sending your child to school with 2€ on both Thursday and Friday. We will be selling each cupcake, cookie, and pieces of cakes for 2€ each. ALL of the proceeds go to the Heart for Haiti fund. This fund will be used to help rebuild a school and/or orphanage in Haiti.
Also in this week, Mari Holmberg will be collecting your English and French book donations. These books should be in excellent condition. It would be lovely if your child could write a personal note on the inside cover of the book (preferably with a date and signature).
We are also selling whole cakes (for pick-up on Thursday, 12 February). This will be perfect for your Valentine’s weekend. Let one of our Master Chefs create that perfect desert for your Valentine’s weekend. Attached is the list of cakes on offer. Please email your order to mari_vanderfluit@hotmail.com by Monday, 8 February 2010. If you are planning on coming to the Open Day on Saturday, February 6th, you can pre-pay your cake at this time.
Any question? Want to help sell? mari_vanderfluit@hotmail.com
Who are we sponsoring……..
Pater Bohnen
Father Bohnen came to Haiti in 1954. He stimulated slum dwellers to set up schools for their children and provided them with educational material and teachers. Whether these schools were Catholic, protestant or neutral was not important to him.
The schools belonged to the parents and they could count on Father Bohnen for support. It became a great success: 190 schools with 26000 children who receive education and a hot meal (probably their only meal) each day. The largest dinner club in the world. These children have a chance for a better future thanks to father Bohnen´s work. His successors Père Damien (Belgium) and Père Zucchi (Haiti) work very hard to keep this project going. To help this project your financial support is indispensable. Grant the children of Haiti a place in your heart.
