"It's true: I enjoy going to school almost every day. And not just because I'm in such a nice group, with many friends and acquaintances from the region. It is also mainly because here – unlike in previous years at VMBO – you are very practice-oriented and active. I'm not a fan of 'concentration and sitting still'. In the coming months, we will be going on an internship three days a week. I can work at a large nursery." Ron Grootscholten, 1st year student Green Trade & Logistics
