The last call rings for all Russian school-leavers on May 24th and 25th. Millions of school-kids in the Russian Federation and amongst the Russian ex-pat community abroad took part in ‘Last Bell’ celebrations. And London was no exception.
Final year pupils say goodbye to classmates and teachers in May at a ceremony that usually includes speeches by the head-teacher and guests, parents, first-graders and the last words from those from the final years.
Traditionally, the last bell is carried by a leaver and rung by a first-former. And it tolled for pupils at the general school under the Embassy of Russia in the heart of London last weekend.
Traditionally, the event opens with the anthem of the Russian Federation. Russian diplomat Vasili Tsyganov then addressed the pupils, their families and teachers congratulating the school-leavers as they embark on a new stage in their lives and wishing them confidence in their strengths, success in their exams and achievement of their intended goals. And finally the day ended with creative performances and dances by the students and their parents.
