Office

• The office provides all information about school activities. The school secretary is Katrín Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, katrin.kristin.hallgrimsdottir@rvkskolar.is. Telephone: 411-7550.

Snacks

• Hólabrekkuskóli emphasizes healthy snacks to provide students with energy and endurance. Healthy snacks include fruits, vegetables or bread with nutritious toppings. Water is the only drink students may bring to school. Water is the best thirst-quencher, calorie-free and doesn't harm teeth. We ask parents to ensure their children's snacks are nut-free. Remember that nuts are in many foods, including peanut butter, nut yogurt, some bakery breads, and satay sauce. Direct questions and suggestions to the school nurse.

Physical education and swimming

• The gymnasium and swimming pool are located at Austurberg. The youngest students are escorted to and from swimming and sports. During the 2024-2025 school year, grades 7-10 will have physical education at Korpuskóli gymnasium.
