Sint-Niklaas (Eurotoday): Last Friday on 15th November, a student at Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Presentatie school was found with a gun, prompting police intervention. One student was sent to a secure facility, while the other returned home under strict rules. The school is providing emotional support amid ongoing safety discussions.
Last Friday on 15th November, an incident occurred at Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Presentatie school when a student was found with a gun in his backpack. During an argument with another student, he pulled out the weapon, making the other student feel scared. The school quickly called the police, who arrived right away. Both students were taken into custody, and the gun was secured.
What measures are being taken after the gun incident at Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Presentatie school?
The case went to juvenile court, where decisions were made about the students involved. One student was allowed to go home with strict rules, but the student with the gun was sent to a secure facility for more supervision. This incident has raised concerns about school safety, and now parents, students, and staff are discussing how to improve security and keep the school safe.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities try to understand why the student brought the gun. A disciplinary process has started for both students involved, so neither will be allowed to return to school during the investigation. This decision was made to ensure the safety of the rest of the school community while the situation is being addressed.
In response to the incident, the school is providing emotional and psychological support to students. Teachers are dedicating time at the start of each school day to discuss the event and give students a safe space to express their feelings. The school is also offering additional help, including counseling and one-on-one support, which will continue in the coming days to ensure all students feel safe and supported after the alarming incident.

Ah, Sint-Niklaas, where the chocolate is rich but the safety is apparently a bit thin. Who knew that student life would include a masterclass in ‘how to get arrested for bringing a gun to class’? Clearly, the only thing more alarming than the rising safety concerns is the fact that some kids think “show and tell” has taken a rather dramatic turn.

Ah, the classic gun incident in Sint-Niklaas – just what every quaint Belgian town needs to spice up its reputation! Nothing screams “student life” quite like a brush with the law, eh? One can only imagine the school brochure now: “Come for the chocolate, stay for the thrilling tales of youthful rebellion!”

Ah, Sint-Niklaas, where the local students have taken “show and tell” to an entirely new level—who knew firearms would be on the syllabus? As safety concerns escalate, one can’t help but wonder if they’re trying to set a record for the most dramatic way to get a detention. But hey, at least it’s not just another dreary Tuesday in Belgium, right?
