In Tielt, the school year for the boarding students of the Molenland education group started a day earlier. These students were invited to set up their rooms and spend their first night there. This introduction day is intended to help them transition smoothly into the new school year, according to VRT NWS.

At De Klimtoren primary school in Meerle, located in Hoogstraten, the sandbox was renovated during the summer vacation. This adjustment is one of the innovations with which the school is starting the new academic year, as reported by both Gazet van Antwerpen and Het Nieuwsblad.

Furthermore, the Harduynschool in Oudegem welcomes three new faces at the beginning of the school year. A new principal has been appointed, along with a new teacher for the preschool class and a new teacher for the sixth grade, according to information from Het Nieuwsblad.

These initiatives and changes reflect the preparations of schools to provide students with a fresh start after the summer vacation. The adjustments range from facility improvements to new staff, all contributing to a positive learning environment.
