School Activities

School Assembly
The Schools hold formal Assemblies at the beginning of term, on resumption from mid-term holidays, and at the end of term. Formal Assemblies serve as a point of take-off for the resumption of academic activities. The Headmasters and Supervisors officiate at formal assemblies. Morning assemblies are held every day of the school week (Mondays to Fridays).
