Has your son or daughter received basic or pre-vocational secondary education advice and does he or she have anything to do with sports and exercise? Then MOTION Move College is the secondary school. Director Jaco Molendijk explains why.
“At MOTION, movement is central to everything you do,” he says. “First of all, you start every day with sports lessons. That can be anything from mountain biking to climbing. That’s fun and students wake up their brains. Research shows that this leads to better learning performance.”
Football and dance classes
If your child likes to play football or dance, going to school here is a real joy. There are special sports classes for dance and football. “That means that students start with that sport twice a week,” explains Jaco. “To keep it varied, they start the day with other sports on the other days.”
What is special is that the sports lessons are given by teachers with professional knowledge. “For example, during the football lessons, a qualified football coach is in front of the class. And for the dance lessons we work together with the MusicSoulhouse in Zoetermeer. We are not a top sports school, but we do think it is important that the lessons offer a certain challenge to the students.”
Learning by bike
Students also exercise during regular subjects. For example, there is an exercise room with spin bikes. So it may just be that she is following bicycle geography or another subject. A teacher can also decide to use a smartboard, where students have to ‘hit’ the correct answer with a ball. And there is recently a panna cage where they can enjoy themselves.

New building
It will be even more beautiful and better in the future. If everything goes according to plan, the construction of a brand new school with even more sports facilities, such as a dojo and a dance hall, will start at the end of this year.
