Grade 7 Our First Assembly after 18 months!

MYP French Teacher

On September 16, Grade 7 students attended an Assembly. It was a time to come together as a whole grade and it is important to stress that this happened after more than 18 months. Assemblies in school have not been authorized since the pandemic started, so, there was great excitement in the air.

The assembly started with a Kahoot game with “interesting and fun information” about their advisory teachers and their counselor. This brought laughter and good spirits. This game was followed by each advisory presenting their identities: their logos, their slogans, and their mascots. A lot of cheering, laughter, and enthusiasm were heard all over the Auditorium as each advisory presented what they had prepared.

Then, we had a music moment presented by Grade 7, organized by Ms. Rita Sabiiti. We ended this Assembly by participating in a word game prepared by our Middle School Counselor, Mr. Adam Kuestermann. It was his ludic way of introducing himself, presenting his role, and showing how he can support the Middle School students.

Overall, it was a very positive assembly, with students being cheerful and very sensible at the same time. Our second Assembly took place on the 4th October. This was more of an academic assembly, focusing on the attitudes needed to be a successful MYP student.
