About

Commemoration days mark a celebration of the year and all it has entailed, from academic achievements to sporting successes, musical feats and artistic talents.

Each school takes a slightly different approach to their day, with an overall theme of celebration and community: for the Pre-Prep and the Prep, it signifies achievements made so far and the bonds they have established; and for the Upper it’s a chance to unite and celebrate those leaving to embark on their next chapter at the end of the school year.
