Lyceum traditions

It is a tradition in our lyceum to plant trees and flowers in spring.

Every day in every group there is a pupil on duty. He usually brings a register to the lessons and helps teachers to mark those who are absent.

In autumn all the trees in our yard become coloured red and brown, yellow and orange, and fall down. It’s a tradition to gather the leaves and clean the ground before winter. When there is much snow in December and January students clean the lyceum roads from snow and ice. They are fond of working outside.

Every Thursday students make their classrooms tidy: sweep the floor, water the flowers.

Twice a week all the students have their training at the lyceum workshops or at the plants of the city of Minsk. They try to receive good skills and in future to become qualified turners, fitters, adjusters and machinists.
