EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW<\/span><\/span><\/h3>

A good start at the HWC<\/span><\/span><\/h2>
<\/div>

Welcome to the grammar school,<\/p>\n

Your adventure at the HWC is about to begin! In the magazine Welcome to the first year of secondary school<\/a> <\/strong>Read all about the school, discover fun facts, and find handy tips for a flying start.<\/p>\n

To help you prepare thoroughly for the new school year, we are organising several introductory and orientation events. Below, we have summarised the most important information for you.<\/p>\n

Friday 14 August: collect laptop<\/strong><\/p>\n

All first-year secondary school pupils need a laptop at HWC.<\/p>\n

Did you order a laptop through Easy4u? Then you can pick these up at the time stated in the timetable for your class.\u00a0<\/span> Meer informatie vind je in de appendix Easy4u Information and Order Brochure 2026-2027<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you're unable to pick up the laptop at the designated time, there's no problem. The laptop will remain available at the HWC and can be collected by the student in the first week of school from the ICT department (room 0.34).<\/p>\n

Do you prefer to buy a laptop yourself? Then check the Things to consider and points of attention when buying a laptop yourself<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
