Schools besides the normal calendar activities also organized a wide range of special events. These events varied to some extent from school to school, but many of events were commonly persued at many prep schools. Some of these events were holiday celevrations like Guy Fawks day. Some holidays were more important tat some schools than others. One Scottish school made a major event out of Haloween , but this was not very common. Muvh more common was preparing for Christmas, although the children were at home with their families for the actual Christmasx celebration. One popular Summer event is the school fete. The children seem to really enjoy the event. Most schools have them as a fund raising activity. Normally the children are encouraged to prepare many of the booths. The parents come which is very popular with the boarders. The parents also have the opportunity to chat informally with the teachers.
