In this learning and practical store you will find a nail salon, coffee bar, clothing store and more

There is a win-win situation in Dorpsstraat. The Praktijkcollege Zoetermeer has a learning and practical shop in the former Spel en Meer building Made by School opened. Students gain practical experience there while we can shop, work flexibly, drink coffee, have something printed or have our nails done.

Instructors Ed la Croix and Moreno Zwarteveld from the Praktijkcollege Zoetermeer keep the shop running. They ensure staffing, a varied range and the appearance of the store. All in consultation with the students. Find out how below and on the following pages Made by School looks like from the inside.

Gift shop

Just past the entrance you will find the gift shop where you can buy original gifts. Think of wood carvings, wine boxes, jewelry and candy packaging. Most of it is made by students and they also wrap the gifts festively.

Vegetable and plant greenhouse

Various plants, cuttings and vegetables are for sale in the plant and vegetable greenhouse of the Practical College. These are grown in the school garden and sold in the shop. The range of fruit and vegetables is still being expanded.

At school, students cook fresh meals every day for the school restaurant. These meals, such as lasagna and roti, will soon be in the refrigerator in the store. From then on you can also buy them.
