SFO at BISS Sentrum

What is SFO?

SFO (Skolefritidsordning) is after school care for parents who need supervision longer than school hours.  It has an important role in the education system and is one of the most popular forms of childcare here in Norway.  At BISS Sentrum SFO is offered to students in grades PYP 1 – PYP 5.

Activities take place inside the SFO area of the school, outside in the school playground and excursions in the school holidays.

SFO opening hours

AM Session: from 7:30 – 8:30

PM Session: from 15:00 (14:10 on Wednesday) until before 16:30*

*Children must be collected by 16:30 and not at 16:30. If you are late there will be a charge. This is because staff will have to stay longer than their contracted hours if you are later than 16:30 to ensure your children are safe.
