My School My school is called Jean Rous. You might wonder why it is so called. Jean Rous was a Catalan Activist who was part of the Resistance against the Nazis and fought for the liberation of African people. My school is named in his honor. My school is on the road from Bompas to Pia. It is a small village near Perpignan in the Pyrenees Orientals department. It opened in September 2007.

The Physical Description Of My School In my school there are 2 parking lots, one for the school staff and the other for parents. For the students who come by bike, there is a cycle parking lot within the school. When you come through the main gate, on the ground floor, we can see the courtyard. We have the administrative building on the right where we find the headmaster’s office, the deputy head's office, the secretary's office, and the school life office. On the left we can see the lobby with a dressing room inside, a multipurpose room, the CPE’s office (another senior member of staff), the staff room and on the first floor the school library.
