LEF Day
LEF Day is all about being brave, being yourself, and rocking the outfit and hairstyle you love most! The older students kick things off by explaining what’s ahead. Then the classroom turns into a runway, complete with garlands and music, for anyone who wants to strut their stuff. After the show, the class splits into colourful teams on a mission to write compliments for every classmate, and even the teacher!
LEF Day is an option for both the primary and the secondary version.
