morning assembly

Daily student meeting

Morning assembly is a scheduled gathering at the start of the school day, typically in an auditorium or courtyard, where students and staff come together for announcements, prayers, or ceremonies.

Common in British schools and many international educational systems, it often includes the national anthem, a short address from the principal, or recognition of achievements: We learned about the new dress code at morning assembly.
