School traditions

Orientation Week

The first of September assembly has remained a traditional event marking the beginning of an academic year also for the students of higher grades, because the summer holidays are over and now there is another pleasant possibility to start a school year together with classmates and teachers. IB Students start the new academic year with Orientation Week, where we get to know each other and communicate School procedures and values, also to have interesting sessions, that will help the Students to pass IB studies more successfully.

The Freshmen Day

Every school has the tradition to initiate the new students of the tenth grade. So does the Audentes Private School. This is the day that the seniors are waiting with excitement, the students of the tenth grade with thrill and the teachers with fear.

Teachers’ Day

Teachers’ Day is always very much awaited by the students as well as the teachers. This is the day when the seniors can try their teaching skills and the teachers get a day when to sit behind a class desk themselves. Also all other students like this day very much, because now not a real teacher but one of themselves is standing in front of the class, providing an example!

Christmas Lunch

It is a very nice tradition to send the entire school to the Christmas holidays with a common Christmas lunch, enjoying the peaceful Christmas time. This takes place always on the last day of the second school term, after the Christmas assembly.

Global Awareness Week

At the end of January IB Students are organizing a week full of interesting activities-workshops, lectures, global cafe, Model United Nations sessions etc. to promote international-mindedness across the School.
