An air of anticipation fills Christ Church Secondary School every Friday morning. The reason is simple: There are no academic lessons that day. Students come to school in T-shirts bearing the names of their co-curricular activities (CCAs).
Textbooks are ditched for basketball practice, band rehearsals and other CCA sessions. Everyone is dismissed by 12.40pm.
