For example:
- "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" - with questions based on the topic of the assembly.
- "The Weakest Link" - involving the teachers, answering questions about the topic.
- The Holiday programme - "reporting" from places around the world to describe about customs of people in those places.
- The News - using similar ideas to the Holiday show.
- Ready Steady Cook - an assembly which was used to share how food was important to people in different religions.
- The Rainbow People – a Play about inclusion and acceptance
