Our school
There are 400 students and 40 teachers in our school. 1st September obviously is knowledge day which sadly means that summer is over. Usually on the 1st September we have some sort of a show where people sing or dance.
One of the first events that include teamwork and cooperation is sports day. It’s mostly games and difficult challenges but it’s not very athletic. But it’s not all just fun and games, there’s a scoring system in place to evaluate each teams score.
Our school offers a multitude of different after class activities, like dancing, singing, theater, IT classes and so much more.
Some of the after-school groups like singing, dancing and theatre practice and later perform in front of the school during a themed concert such as Mother’s day or even maybe a Christmas concert.
