student assembly

Campus-wide mandatory meeting

A student assembly is a gathering of students, typically in a school auditorium or gymnasium, for announcements, performances, or special programs.

Assemblies interrupt the regular class schedule and may involve the whole school or particular grade levels: We had a student assembly about fire safety.

The term also refers to a student governing body in some institutions.
