Inductionday
We start the new college year with an initial introduction for the fulltime students in the education building and a review of the study guide. After that, we head to the beach for powerkiting, beach volleybal and golf surfing. It is always wonderful to see how quickly bonds are forged for the upcoming academic year.
Polo, tie, suits-day and drinks
During the induction day, you will receive a Kronenburgh polo shirt. It’s a great item to wear often to show that you are a Kronenburger.
During the first term, you will also receive a Kronenburgh tie. Even though not everyone wears a tie with a suit these days, the Kronenburgh tie adds that extra touch of distinction during the business visits and awarding ceremony.
Every Thursday is “Suit Day.” All students wear a suit (women wear a suit or a dress). This helps us get used to presenting a professional image in the workplace. After classes end for the day, students often head to “het Plein” for a drink (non-alcoholic).
Company visits and guest speakers
Thanks to company visits and guest speakers the concepts learned during lectures suddenly become much more tangible. It is thanks to the contributions of these companies and guest speakers that we are able to train students who truly stand out from the average.
Networking events
During the course, every student attends at least one networking event. It is a highly educational experience, but also a chance to step out of one’s comfort zone: simply striking up a conversation with people you don’t know. We would like to thank organizations such as the BBR and Business Haaglanden for opening their networking events to our students.
Sinterklaas and Christmas
Somehow, Sinterklaas manages to find his way to Kronenburgh every year to discuss the latest gossip over hot chocolate with whipped cream. At Christmas, there is a moment of reflection and a toast with (alcohol-free) champagne, and students make their way to the Christmas market at the Lange Voorhout.
Study trip
The theme for the annual study trip for first-year students is “Teambuilding and Entrepreneurship.” We travel by train to Brussels or Antwerp, visit companies and organizations, and explore the city during the day and in the evening.
Farewell Business Lunch
Second-year students conclude the last academic year with a business lunch at the chique Hotel Des Indes on Lange Voorhout. Students practice table manners and the etiquette of interacting with international business contacts. Each student delivers a short speech reflecting on their time at Kronenburgh.
end of Year / Move-up Ceremony (Diploma awarding)
The End of Year / Move-up Ceremony (includes the diploma awarding ceremony) is the crowning achievement of the studies at Kronenburgh. The whole family has come along. There is a standing ovation as the candidates enter wearing their square hats. Each student is personally addressed. Signing the diploma provides a key photo opportunity. Finally, there is the square hat throw in front of the college building—a well-deserved conclusion to the education programme; Something to be truly proud of.
