Special Events
Around the 17th of May each year QE holds a Commemoration Day Assembly in the Sports Hall to celebrate the schools ‘birthday’. Usually the whole school is present apart from those on study leave. During the assembly the Head talks about how and when the school was founded and why girls should value their education and the freedom they have today. There is usually a guest to assist with the presentations and awards. There are many different awards given to students who have excelled themselves or improved greatly. The Assembly is not the only event to take place on the day, there is a cake competition open to the whole school including teachers and there is a special cake and drink event held in the library for those who won awards.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or events:
“‘I mean to retire, where
Nobody will have heard about my special skills
And conversation is mainly about the wearther.”
—Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin (b.1942)
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
