COMMEMORATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE BOY CHILD(JUST BOYS)

On May 16, 2024 schools worldwide observe the International Day of the Boy Child. This initiative aims to empower young boys, amplify their voices, and address the challenges they face.
At Howbury School, we celebrated this special day with a series of uplifting and inspiring activities. The day commenced with engaging sports activities, including soccer matches and relay races, which allowed the boys to demonstrate their energy and teamwork.
During our boys' assemblies, we emphasized the importance of positive values, staying focused on their dreams, and maintaining good hygiene. Our boys were encouraged to embrace their individuality and strive for excellence in all their endeavors.
We are proud of their enthusiasm and grateful to our staff and parents for making the day a success.

SPELLING BEE COMPETITION
The Spelling Bee is a cornerstone of our curriculum each term, as it significantly enhances our students' vocabulary knowledge, spelling, and pronunciation abilities. This activity not only builds self-confidence and correct English language usage but also strengthens cognitive skills, accelerates learning, develops fluency, and improves presentation skills.
This term’s contest, held on Thursday, June 20, 2024, saw vigorous competition among the class representatives who excelled as class spellers. The Primary Phase Spelling  Bee featured students from Year 1 to Year 6, with two representatives from each class vying intensely for the title of Term's Spelling Champion.
We extend our hearty congratulations to our top three winners who distinguished themselves with exceptional spelling prowess:

We commend all participants for their dedication and hard work, which have made this event a remarkable success.
