Family Day

Family Day is an important annual event held on a Saturday in May. It aims to improve communication throughout the entire school community by bringing students, parents and staff together in an informal setting. Based on the model of a Japanese school sports festival, the emphasis of Family Day is not on competition, but on community interaction through participation in sporting games and enjoyable physical activities in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

To allow for maximum participation and effective use of the main school playground, the day is divided into three sections: K1 through Grade 1 students and families participate from early morning, Grades 2 through 5 from late morning, and Grades 6 through 12 from the afternoon.

As the final community event of the school year, Family Day also provides an opportunity to share information with the school community such as details of incoming staff as well as forthcoming developments, projects and improvements.
