To quickly tell you what it's all about. Each class chooses their own theme for exanple pyjamas, nerds etc. and also the tutors have their own theme. Then each class competes against each other and at the end of the day the class that has the most points wins and also the class that has the best overall attitude and everyone is dressed in their class' theme wins an award.
This year we were lucky to have nice weather and that we could spend the day at the beach. To start the day the first year students gathered at school to do a morning workout specially planned for them and then they were escorted from the school to the beach. At the beach each and every student gets "marked" which means we draw a J on their forehead to symbolize that they've been taken in to the school and the they have to take a vow that has become a tradition. After this we sterted with our games (treasure hunt, sand sculpture competition, own cheersong for their class (had to go with their theme), a relay and lots more. Also we have an individual competition Mr. And Mrs. Jylla that is also a tradition.
Here's a picture of the tutors (theme: law enforcement) and this years homeroom teachers.
Here's a couple or pictures to show you what the atmosphere was like.=D
