Now only 100 days celebration for students in Torhout

Now that code yellow applies, the young people can again hang around each other’s necks and they did that in the afternoon during a karaoke in the student cafe.

‘Wrong’ karaoke

For the first time they celebrated 100 days because it was not possible in high school.

Initiator Lise Delbeke is a second-year student and still remembers what it felt like in sixth grade.

“Our theme would normally have been Disney. The day before it was canceled. I thought that was a shame. The corona measure went into effect on Friday. I was extremely disappointed and also anxious because we did not know what corona was. We didn’t dare either to go away more. It was just a TV day at school, because we still had to go to school that day.”

Heavy for students

Corona left traces.

“Sitting at home alone has been difficult for many students. You notice on such days that they are very well off. They are revived and they are happy that they can be together,” says Bram Werbrouck, student coach Vives campus Torhout.

Seppe is a freshman and was able to party a little last year. “I was able to celebrate my 100 days, but it was completely different. We still had to put on a mouth mask and there was a closing hour at the party. Now it’s great that we can act stupid and just go wild.”
