school assembly

All-grade gathering

A school assembly is a gathering of students, typically in an auditorium or gymnasium, for announcements, performances, or speakers.

Assemblies break up the routine of classes and serve purposes ranging from pep rallies to award ceremonies to guest presentations: We had an assembly about fire safety.

The whole school filed into the gym for assembly.
