The coronation of first-year students
In the beginning of the school year, first year students get to know their new classmates. During a fun afternoon spent together at the school, the new students participate in different tasks and competitions. At the end of the day, every first-year student is given a crown! The coronation day is important for the team spirit of Halikon lukio.
The Field Contest
In autumn the students and the teachers walk around Halikko in groups. The groups have to go from checkpoint to another and complete the given tasks as well as possible. The winner group will be rewarded. Also juice and doughnuts are served for everyone during the contest.

The Kickout Day
After finishing their studies the last year students put on some funny costumes and go around the city to throw candy to younger students. The seniors also arrange the "morning radio" in Halikon lukio. They usually make fun of the teachers and other students. The seniors also give the school a whole new decoration: they put trash bags and funny pictures of the younger students on the walls of the school. The second year students will give diplomas to the seniors. After that the seniors will go for a truck ride around the city.
