It was none other than the beloved "Pyjama Day," a day cherished by students and teachers alike, scheduled for the first Friday of the term. The mere mention of this event sent ripples of excitement through the school community.

Pyjama Day unfolded in all its cosy splendour. Learners arrived at school clad in an array of sleeping garments, showcasing their unique styles and personalities. The sight was delightful, with pyjama-clad learners exuding contagious enthusiasm and sporting radiant smiles.

Even the teachers couldn't resist the allure of this whimsical tradition. They too joined in the fun, donning their own comfy sleeping clothes, adding an extra layer of charm to the day. The transformation was remarkable, as educators became part of the pyjama-clad tapestry that enveloped the school.

‘Come as you sleep’

As one would expect on Pyjama Day, the fashion choices were as diverse as the personalities at Berg-Op Academy.

Regardless of the attire, what truly mattered was the atmosphere of sheer joy and camaraderie that pervaded the entire school. Laughter and smiles were the order of the day, creating a jovial and heartwarming atmosphere that was impossible to ignore.
