Parascolaire (GIAP) and school meals
School hours are 8 to 11.30am and 1.30 to 4:00pm. Your child can eat at school (school canteen from 11.30am to 1.30pm) and/or play after lessons (after-school activities from 4 to 6pm). If needed, your child can stay at school continuously from 8am to 6pm. This service is organized by the GIAP, either at the school or in a nearby facility.

You must contact the GIAP and specify which day(s) of the week you need their service: lunchtime (school canteen) or afternoon (after-school activity) or both. Remember to renew your GIAP registration every school year (around March–May, for the following school year).
