Initiation into students of the Lyceum

On October 19 the Initiation Ceremony of lyceum students of 9th and 10th forms took place in our lyceum. The whole Ceremony was designed and held in the style of the 19th century which is the time of the first lyceum was established in Russia.

First of all, every 11th form made a special poster with useful pieces of advice for inexperienced students.

Secondly, everyone had to participate in some challenging contests prepared by older students. All was extremely excited and active while completing tasks.

 

 

After that younger students were given masks to shut their eyes and were taken to the ceremony hall where a spectacular show was waiting for them.

 

 

 

Girls from IB2 also participated in the performance, particularly in such dances as polonaise, pas de grâce and waltz.

 

At the end of the show all lyceum students made a word “Лицей” (lyceum) with candles, which looked magnificent.

Finally, each student took an oath of lyceum and the evening was finished with marvelous fireworks.

All in all, everyone was astonished by this day of initiation. We hope that now novice students can understand what it is like to be a part of the lyceum.
