Afternoon activities at schools

Afternoon activities are available for 1st and 2nd grade students who have a necessary need due to a guardian's work or studies, or for some other special reason.

The afternoon activities are also intended for students who have a support decision or a disability, illness, or functional limitation that affects their learning ability.

Afternoon activities are also offered to children participating in bilingual pre-primary education in basic education.

Those applying for a place due to a special reason must provide a statement of the need for the activities along with the application. This statement can be made by an expert familiar with the child's situation.

The statement of the special reason should be submitted to the school principal. The club place is granted for one operational year at a time.

For the 2025-2026 school year, only afternoon activities will be organized from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Morning activities will end starting from August 1, 2025.

In all locations, a snack will be provided to children around 2:00 PM.

You may apply for a place in the afternoon activity club as soon as it is known what school the child will attend.

Instructions for the guardian:

1. Enrol your child in school as soon as you know the day on which you move. Use this link to enrol in basic education.
