Student life

Joining PURPAN means becoming involved in the school’s associative life.

Parties at Purpan

PURPAN is one of the few schools that organises, in collaboration with the students, parties and events in which everyone learns to combine joie de vivre, celebration and self-control.

Thus, each class and all students have the opportunity to organise their own events, in compliance with the law and the school’s rules. Everyone can then demonstrate their responsible commitment.
