Board
The Haarlemmermeer Lyceum is part of the Dunamare Onderwijsgroep. This comprises 24 secondary schools in the region that includes Haarlem, Haarlemmermeer and Velsen (with a side-trip to Harlingen). This involves all types of schools – from grammar school to vocational education. Nearly all of the schools in the region that provide special care to students are members of the Dunamare Onderwijsgroep. For more information, see: www.dunamare.nl.
By joining forces, Dunamare Onderwijsgroep can provide added value to the schools, thereby improving the students’ training and learning performance. Additional information about the Dunamare Onderwijsgroep can be found here, along with such important documents as the complaints regulation and the protocol for suspension and removal.
Participation Council
Just like every school in the Netherlands, the Haarlemmermeer Lyceum has a Participation Council (Dutch acronym: MR). The Participation Council is made up of staff, parents/guardians and students. They are involved in the school’s policy implementation in this manner. School management makes decisions in consultation and must discuss any decisions having to do with education or that relate to the school in its entirety with the Participation Council. Additional information about the MR’s working method can be found in the Lyceum handbook Bilingual.
The Participation Council meets 8 times per school year. The exact dates can be found in the annual agendas on our website, under the option “Students and parents” > “Holidays”.
You can read the minutes of these meetings through your parent login in Magister. Via this link, you can see where to find this.
The regulations of the Participation Council of Dunamare can be found here.

Complaints regulation
Naturally, we prefer to see that everything runs smoothly at our school. But despite our efforts, it’s still possible that you might be unsatisfied with something. Have a complaint? We’ll do everything possible to resolve this. The first step is to contact the particular teacher, headmaster or other person who has made the decision with which you disagree. If you are then still dissatisfied with the treatment of your complaint, you can turn to the board, based on the external complaints procedure. View Dunamare Onderwijsgroep’s general complaints regulation here.
Confidential counsellors
Students who are struggling with a problem that they cannot, do not want to, or do not dare to discuss directly with a teacher or someone else, can turn to one of the two designated confidential counsellors. At our school, Ms Van Hal and Ms Van Pelt are always available to support them. Both students and parents/guardians can make an appointment to look for a solution together.
Getting in touch is easy by email:
Ms Van Hal – W.vanHal@haarlemmermeerlyceum.nl
Ms Van Pelt – L.vanPelt@haarlemmermeerlyceum.nl
Complaints about undesirable behaviour (such as sexual intimidation) can also be handled via the external confidential counsellor (GGD Kennemerland tel. +31 (0)23 7891777) or the Education Inspectorate (tel. 088 6696000).
