Emergency island

"Where we are, you are safe!"

Emergency island

The Buterland School is very pleased to be part of the nationwide emergency island network from April 2025.

With the well-known emergency island sticker on the front door, the school signals: "Where we are, you are safe!". Children who find themselves in an emergency situation - whether due to bullying, fear, disorientation or other difficult situations - will find a trustworthy point of contact here and receive help and support quickly.

As an emergency island, the Buterland School actively assumes responsibility for the protection and well-being of children - not only during lessons, but also in everyday life outside of school hours. It wants to set a visible example of civil courage and child-friendliness in the region and is happy to be a point of contact for all children in Gronau.

With its commitment, the Buterland School is strengthening the network of safe places in the city - and making Gronau a little more child-friendly.
