The transition from primary to secondary is not always easy. Many children find it difficult to make the right choice. This is why PITO organized a Do-Day.
No less than 133 young people from the third year of primary school registered to familiarize themselves with the workshops. It gave them a taste of science, technology, agriculture and horticulture.
Deputy Director Raf Van Bergen: “We offer around ten workshops based on the three pillars of our school: scientific, technical and agricultural education. Due to the large number of registrations, two sessions were organized. Parents received the necessary explanations on the functioning of the school, coupled with a guided tour or a bike ride to discover the school grounds.

Children could choose between climbing walls, programming robots, doing science experiments, working with a laser cutter or a 3D printer. Animal lovers can take care of sheep, horses or cows. They could thus familiarize themselves with life on the farm. Driving oneself with a tractor, under supervision, was also part of the possibilities.

Raf Van Bergen: “On most open days, schools show what they have to offer. Here, children can really do things and this is important for choosing the right direction in secondary education. (evdw)
