This morning was the last day of school for the students. The parents came with the students to meet with their teachers in order to pick up their report cards. The reports are completed by hand and are in a notebook. The children are ranked from 1st to last on their report card. Very different!!
The closing ceremonies were held in an auditorium on site...it was very noisy and dusty. The chairs are extremely old metal ones and then the students carried in their desks/benches for more seating. We, along with Aaron and Erica, were honoured to be seated at the front on very comfortable padded chairs.
The programme began in prayer: a Christian prayer and Muslim prayer. The programme consisted of classes performing songs, poems and a fashion show.
We were introduced mid-way through the programme. Don said a few words and then we invited the Head Master and teachers to join us on the stage for the singing of the "Hokey Pokey"! The staff had never performed for the students before and the children and parents were thrilled. Laughter broke out on stage and in the audience when we reached the part, "you put your backside in, you take your backside out.....and you shake it all about"!
The awards were presented at the end of the assembly. Awards for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd highest marks in each class; for the most improved students in each class; for the two students who had the cleanest uniforms all year; for the best behaved girl and boy in the school. Don and I and Aaron and Erica were asked to present some of the awards.
