A short history of our association
⚓️ The APE of the Colette School
Colette School is spread across several sites in downtown Ho Chi Minh City.
In 1998, at the request of the then-principal, the Colette School Parents’ Association (APE) was created. The aim is to manage various activities: provision of school insurance, sports clubs, extracurricular activities, daycare service with catering on the primary school site and then additional catering service on the secondary school site, organization of end-of-year fairs, and various festivals that punctuate the school year (Christmas, Tet, etc.).
Since 2008, the APE has been preparing the move of the Colette school to district 9 (Q9 – or D9), the current location of the Lycée which will be named after Marguerite Duras, the famous writer.
