संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

The half-yearly report of the students’ council highlighted the students’ progress during the first half of the year, which had started after Easter. Braithwaite understood that on the day of the event, all attention would be on the students. He acknowledged that it was "one of the most important days in the calendar of Greenslade’s school." The reports presented by the students would reflect what they had learned under his guidance, serving as a test of his teaching abilities. For Braithwaite, the event was an ideal opportunity to step back and observe his students’ performance as part of the audience.
