Notable Traditions

Yom Sport

Each year during the last months of the school year (usually October or November) a Yom Sport (hebrew for "Sport's Day") is held. In this day the students compete in individual and group disciplines. Individual disciplines are (such as Sprint, Shot Put, Long and High Jump). Group disciplines are soccer and handball. Students are divided into four teams (Red, Green, Yellow and Blue) and stay in the same team every year. Competitions in the group disciplines are done according to the teams. Records in athletics are kept between years.

Some weeks after the Yom Sport another event is held in which winners in the individual events are announced. The ranking among the teams (color) is also publicated. The ranking is computed according to the performance of the team members in the individual and group disciplines.
