Convocation and Speech day

When we have these events we wear our uniform. The uniforms are black and white. In summer we have a tie, but in the winter we have a waistcoat and a badge. We start each event with a church service held by the town’s minister. Afterwards, our headmaster summarizes what happened in this year. Furthermore, he informs us who performed best throughout the year. After the service we go to the classrooms and we get the school report or the programs for the next days and we go home.

Freshmen’s ball

In October we have a ball for the new students. We would wear our uniform again. The new students will recive ther badge and tie on the ceremony.

The ceremony takes place in the chapel and our minister holds a service for us. After thatthe new students go on stage from teacher. Later we takes the oath of the school. When the ceremony is over we go to the gym and we have a party. We are given some funny task from the older students.

Áprily night

Every year we form small groups and we commemorate Aprily. Aprily was a popular Hungarian poet. Students pick one of his poems, play a musical instrument and we light a candle in memory of the poet. Usually this event has a really friendly atmosphere.

Tentamen gala

We organize a Tentamen competition every year, which every student can take part in. The topics can be related to the subject of your choice. The teachers evaluate these presentations. They choose the best one.At the end of this season, we organize the gala Tentamen and the student with the best presentation gets an award.

In December, we get the Christmas fever. Some days of december are celebrated, for example the advent. Every Monday, we light one candle on the wreath of Advent. On the 6th of December, Santa Clause arrives and we get some presents. Some students go to a nearby village and they perform a nativity play for the people and they wear costumes.
