Sriwittayapaknam School > English Homepage > School Assembly


The school bell goes for the first time at 7.50 a.m. If they haven't already, all of the students must head down to the playground and line up in their classes for morning assembly. At 8 a.m. exactly, the national anthem is played over the loudspeakers and everyone has to stand quietly to attention. The national anthem is played on all radio and t.v. stations at this exact time throughout the country.
Shortly after 8 a.m. the school band will start playing the national anthem and this time the students have to sing as the flag is raised. The instruments in the school band include: melodian, bell lyre and drums.
After the anthem, the students chant some Buddhist prayers. These are repeated line by line after a senior student. The students are all facing the Buddha shrine.
