Members of the APEEE represent the parents within the various boards and committees of the school:

the School Advisory Council (SAC)

Councils of Education

There are three Education Councils (CEs) at EEBI, two in Uccle and one in Berkendael, and each meets approximately four times each year. The Education Councils are whole-school bodies, composed of the following stakeholders for each cycle, nursery/primary and secondary:

the director or deputy director respectively
9-10 representatives of parents, one for each language section and SWALS and the member of APEEE’s Board responsible for pedagogy in the respective cycle; for the primary, one representative of the nursery also participates
9-10 representatives of teachers, one for each language section and SWALS, and the staff representative of the respective cycle
representatives of the administrative personnel or coordination teams
for the secondary, 9-10 representatives of the students, one for each language section and SWALS and the president or vice president of the Student Committee (CdE).

The task of the Education Councils is to:

find the best conditions for effective teaching
promote positive and stimulating human relations
affirm the European character of the school

The Education Councils may make proposals related to the pedagogical programmes or educational activities to the EEBI Administrative Board, which holds meetings twice each year. The councils may also adopt resolutions to be submitted to the competent authorities of the European Schools.

Parent section representatives consult their sections and gather agenda points in advance of each CE meeting and are also tasked with reporting back in the wake of the meeting. The APEEE representative consults and reports directly to the APEEE Board on measures proposed or discussed at the CE.

The following Board members currently represent the APEEE at the EEBI Education Councils:

Uccle Secondary CE: Noémie BEIGBEDER (Vice President for Secondary) + Hjørdis Virgarsdottir DALSGAARD

School Advisory Council (SAC)

The school has a single School Advisory Council (SAC) that brings together all actors of the school’s community: management, teachers, students, coordination teams, administrative and security staff, parents. The SAC convenes 2-3 times each year generally in advance of the school's biannual Administrative Boards.

The SAC treats issues of strategic importance to the school and prepares the agenda of the school’s biannual Administrative Board. Long-standing issues that are not adequately addressed in the CE meetings may also be raised in the SAC.

The APEEE sends delegates to each SAC meeting. These may be members of the Bureau or a rotation of Board members, depending on the agenda foreseen.
