Committee for Health, Citizenship, and Environmental Education
Throughout the school curriculum the LFO implements initiatives in citizenship, health and environmental education.
The CESCE is a body for reflection, observation, and vigilance that conceives, implements, and evaluates actions in the areas of prevention and education in citizenship, health, and environmental issues. This comprehensive and unifying approach aims to provide greater coherence and visibility to the educational policy of the institution and also fosters partnerships based on the issues addressed (nature of the institution, target audience, environment, etc.).
The CESCE is thus the privileged body for the implementation of programs on the following educational themes:
Education for Well-being
Education for Safety
Environmental Education
Citizenship Education
Members of the Committee
Under the leadership of the school headmaster, the CESCE brings together:
- The director of the primary school and the main educational advisor (CPE),
- Staff from the well-being department,
- Representatives of teaching staff from all disciplines,
- Parent representatives,
- Student representatives: class representatives and eco-representatives
Lastly, CESCE’s actions are part of an overall strategy to open up the Norwegian territory, and it works on a daily basis with local partners:
- Norwegian public services: police, justice, social services
- Associations: various associations work with our students
- Health services

Nature trail in Sciences
For a young urban dweller, establishing a connection with nature is not always straightforward. Nevertheless, nature has much to teach us, starting with reminding us of our roots.
The goal of the nature trail initiated by the SVT (Science and Life of the Earth) teachers is to rewild, allowing each student to, at least once a year, leave the classroom and explore species and ecosystems in natural spaces close to them.

Sexuality education
The Body and Its Diversity. Getting to Know Oneself Better.
The Body – The Sense Organs. Students explore and bring to their awareness their sense organs: “Hearing, Sight, Smell, Taste, and Touch.” Our senses allow us to perceive who we are and to discover the world around us.
A sensory experience is offered to students to sharpen their internal perceptions. Starting with the discovery of different foods, they express their tastes and preferences. Learning to talk about what one likes and dislikes.
