December is a month with many festive activities just after the intense exam period and before a well-deserved winter break of two weeks.
The holiday spirit was kicked off with the setting up of the Christmas trees in the foyer and in the library by our librarian Renée MAYAERT and a number of students.
The Charity team "Arend't You Charitable" launched the sale of Christmas candles made by and for refugees living in "Le Refuge" in Bruges.
On Monday 16 December 2019, all our students and members of staff were treated to a Christmas lunch in the College restaurant and on Tuesday the 17th in the evening all Bruges’ students could ice skate for free during "Students on Ice" organized by Brugge Studentenstad in the middle of the gorgeous Minnewaterpark of Bruges.
And last but not least, the Student Affairs Office in cooperation with the kitchen staff organized a charity Christmas drink on Wednesday late afternoon for the students and their residence responsibles. Also the host families were invited. The revenue of the sales of additional drinks and food (450€ this year) went to Sister Monique who helps out the local people in need.
That same night the student bar "pARENDTal Advisory" hosted its last 2019 bar night in the Gouden Hand residence.
