RAFAEL DIESTE'S HOMECOMING

"HOMECOMING" is an annual high school and college tradition in the United States to welcome back all the community members. It is built around a central event, most often a sporting event. When they are held at schools the activities may vary greatly. However, they often consist of activities that promote healthy competition and a sense of belonging to a community. 

Well, this year we've also celebrated a "homecoming" at the "Rafael Dieste".

 (Photo above Kayleigh, together with the head of our English Department Hilda Fraga).

The true organizer of all this event has been Kayleigh Vantassel, our conversation assistant for the last two years, who thought it was a good idea to set it up in our school. Kayleigh has put into this project a great amount of hard work, but we'll sure treasure the experience for a long time. It has also meant a lot of partnership from all the other community members: students and teacher staff. 

Students have taken part in different activities of our particular "HOMECOMING", facing the different class groups against each other in the following activities, but not only the victories and correct answers are valued, also aspects of social relationships and behaviour among them.

- BASKETBALL MATCHES:

- TALENT SHOW: students showing off their different talents.

- TRIVIA QUIZ: answering random questions in a four topic contest.

- GYMKHANA of activties

We believe that this activity has been a very good one for the whole community, especially after the time we have all been living.

Students have participated as class groups, each of them with a name, two specific colours, a pet, and a group song that represents them. Each group had a teacher and two student leaders to coordinate them. At the moment, they are working out the results to see which group has won.

But what we won't forget is the good time we've all had this morning...

...students,...

...and teachers...

We've be updating with the resulting winners on another post.

Special BIG thank you to Kayleigh for all her hard work and an extended one to everyone who has taken part in such a fantastic day!
