Balul bobocilor
There is a tradition at the lyceum where new 10th grade students present themselves to upper classes at a Freshmen's Ball. The newcomers must complete two tasks: an introduction and a "homework" presentation on a topic like "Moldova in UE". Older students and class masters help the freshman classes complete these tasks. The goal is for the new students to make new friends rather than compete, as they receive fun gifts. Photos from this year's ball show freshman classes cheering themselves up before presenting and one class that received help from their Class Master.
