SolemnAssembly

Where we anchor the heart. In a week full of noise and pace, this is the hour we deliberately slow down.

The premise

A beautiful tradition, rooted in our core values

Our Solemn Assemblies are dedicated moments when the school community gathers in quiet reflection, worship and prayer — anchoring our students’ hearts and minds in Godliness and character.
01

Weekly School of Discipleship Impartation

Every Friday morning, 8:00 to 8:40 a.m., in the worship centre. Scripture, a short word, corporate prayer, and the school hymn.

02

Beginning-of-Term Dedication

We commit each term, each class and each teacher to God in the first week.

03

Examination Dedication

Held before each examination window, particularly for JSS 3 and SSS 3 candidates.

04

Sunday Masses

We come together to praise God for his kindness and his mercies.

By stage

What it looks like at each stage

Ten minutes with puppets at one end of the school; student preaching and intercession at the other.

The form changes with the age. The purpose does not.

Early Years

Ten to fifteen minutes, in their own hall. Simple songs with actions, a Bible story told with pictures and props, and a one-line prayer the children pray together. Short, warm and joyful.

Lower Primary

Twenty minutes. Memory verse of the week, a story with a clear moral, and children praying aloud in their own words for the first time.

Upper Primary

Thirty minutes. Students lead the songs and the readings. The virtue of the month — Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Kindness — is taught and then applied to real playground situations.

Junior Secondary

Full assembly. Student-led worship team, a teaching from the chaplaincy, and small-group prayer by house.

Senior Secondary

Full assembly with student preaching, testimony and intercession. The senior prayer team leads the school. Boarders also hold morning devotion and evening prayers in the hostels daily.

Our approach

Warmth rather than pressure

MPIS is founded on Christian doctrine, and worship is a genuine part of our school life.

We hold that with warmth rather than pressure. Students of every background are welcome here, and are asked to be respectful and present but never to profess what they do not believe.

Families of other faiths are always welcome to speak with the chaplaincy, and quiet alternative provision is available on request.

The purpose is formation, not performance

  • Honesty when it costs
  • Kindness when nobody is watching
  • Responsibility carried without being chased
