School Visit

 

A Sinterklaas visit at school is always a special moment for children. But what if this year it becomes even more memorable? As a professional musical theatre actor with years of experience working with children, Sinterklaas knows better than anyone how to captivate an entire school — from the youngest toddlers to the oldest pupils.

 

​​​​​Why choose a professional Sinterklaas?:

A professionally trained actor makes all the difference. While a volunteer does their best, a real performer creates a believable, interactive and truly memorable experience. Sinterklaas adapts to the age and size of the group, improvises where needed and keeps the magic alive — even for the critical pupils in the older classes who are starting to have their doubts.

The standard school visit:

Sinterklaas comes to school and takes time for each class or group. With his Great Book in hand, filled with names and stories about the pupils, he ensures a personal and interactive visit. A Roetveegpiet (helper) can be included upon request. The visit is fully tailored to the school's programme and wishes.

Availability and region:

Sinterklaas is available from mid-November through December 5th. School visits take place in Leiden and within a 30 km radius. This includes areas such as The Hague, Alphen aan den Rijn, Zoetermeer, Katwijk, Leiderdorp, Voorschoten, Oegstgeest and Haarlem. Book early — the Sint's agenda fills up quickly!

Specials
