Nordkapp on Magerøya 195210. Europe's northernmost boarding school is located on the North Cape in Repvåg at the very end of the Porsangerfjord. Eight small places were the school skate to pick up small passengers from the age of 7. A couple of the seats had the quay so the skate could go all the way in, but usually it had to lie out and wait for the rowboat with the kid and the suitcase. The Northern Cape Herred municipality has a school alternative for the children living in small remote places within the district boundaries. There are kids from an estimated 75 families. The first day of school is a certain holiday over, it is marked with a small ceremony. All the students gather in the yard, the flag is hoisted to the top. In the foreground, the foundation wall of the old school board that the Germans burned during the war. On the other side of the fjord is the steamship quay and the merchant. Photo: SV. A.
