The school year, event by event.

Fifteen events the school holds every year, each with a page of its own. Four fall on fixed dates; the school announces the rest, as notices and on the parent portal.

The stage before the Annual Cultural Programme 2024, with microphones, speakers and plants in front of a backdrop of autumn trees and the Playpen crest, and no one on it.
