Each teacher takes turns to deliver assemblies. This is an opportunity for students to break away from the usual school routine and get a taste for a subject matter that is either current and topical or something highly personal and different.
This is a lovely ad-hoc way that students can broaden their outlook and get a sense that the word of the teachers doesn’t centre around their curriculum subjects.
