BIO MARKET LANGUAGES EDITION

Friday, 25 September, from 16:15 to 18:00, in the tent

We are opening the school year by celebrating what makes this school so particular: the many languages that cross paths in our corridors every day. The first Bio Market of 2026/27 is the Languages Edition, held on the eve of the European Day of Languages.

Registrations

Registrations open today and close on Tuesday, 15 September, at 6pm. To register, please fill out the form: [REGISTRATION FORM LINK]

Please note that submitting the form does not guarantee a spot. The official confirmation will be sent by email on Thursday, 17 September, and only with that confirmation will your space be secured. As space is limited, selection will be based on the order in which registrations are received and on the diversity and creativity of the proposed products.

Participation fee

4 euros per vendor, or 2 euros for students. The fee is fully reinvested in Bio Market operations and must be paid in advance at the school office. Without prior payment, participation is not possible.

For visitors

You do not need a stall to take part. Come and walk through the tent, taste, talk and discover how many languages fit into one afternoon.

Community

PTSO MEETING

The next PTSO (Parents, Teachers and Students Organization) meeting will take place on 29 September, 2026, at 16:00 in the Library. This meeting is only for the members already elected for this academic year. This is a great opportunity to collaborate and strengthen our school community.
