But things are also changing for first and second year students. For the general subjects they still have to go to the Sint-Bernardus College in Nieuwpoort, from September the theory lessons will also take place in Koksijde.
That is why they are currently building some new classrooms and a relaxation area. A cost of one million euros. “Students no longer have to commute and we can organize lessons in smaller groups,” says director Peter Verbeke.
Ter Duinen has a total of 400 students. Most are internal and come from far away by train. From September, the school will provide its own buses to and from the station.
