Waregem Koerse is a series of horse races that take place on the first Tuesday after the last weekend in August. Every seven years this day falls on the 1 of September which is the first day of school.
2015 is a seventh year and the first day of school was a very short day as everyone in town goes off to the Waregem Koerse and so did we. The highlight of the day was The Grand Steeplechase of Flandres. Like anywhere in the world these races are a society event with some of the biggest prizes in Belgium.
The "kermis" assosiated with the Waregem Koerse ended with spectacular fireworks later the evening. The first day of school at Heilighart-college went down well.
