maintenance works in 2008. Planting trees in 2013 as wind-breaks and sun shades. Planted trees in 2014 The steady care and maintenance of buildings as well as surroundings was neglected for many years. Consequently the school portrayed a fairly bad picture when Johannes van der Weijden visited in 2004, some thirty years after he had first taught there.
After the needed window and sanitary facility repairs were completed the school picked up the regular maintenance of buildings and surrounding areas again. They now repaint the buildings in regular intervals and plant things around the surroundings. The needed construction materials for the repairing of the paths in 2008/2009 were financed through the Friends’ Association.
