OGS - that means open all-day school

“Open” means that this offer from the school is not compulsory. Families who would like to take advantage of the open all-day school program must register their children. The open all-day program is intended to address the interests and needs of families with children and create a needs-oriented offering.

The OGS should be a place where your child feels comfortable, at where they are supported with their own personal strengths and weaknesses. Interesting activities should take place in a familiar environment so that the children can pursue their interests and talents and develop further in the group . In addition, the afternoon area is to be closely linked to the school area. Through regular exchanges with the teachers, the children also receive the best possible care and support in the afternoons. The programs and projects are coordinated with the children’s everyday school life.

The all-day program at St. Katharina Primary School has evolved from afternoon care. As a result, the school’s support association has invested many resources in the design and equipment of the all-day program. When the elementary school in Würdinghausen and Oberhundem were closed, the need for an all-day program in Heinsberg increased even more. The structures developed steadily, so that St. Katharina Primary School now has an all-day program, which brings together the rural structures of the villages on the one hand and the decree of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the other. This decree stipulates that OGS is an educational program consisting of three essential components:

  1. Lunch
  2. Homework supervision
  3. Leisure activities

In February 2022, the Förderverein handed over sponsorship to KIG – Kinder im Ganztag gGmbH.
