Hello there :) My son is 10 years old and is in grade 4 this year :)
Recognition Rites is like an awarding ceremony that happens in schools here in the Philippines every single year. Like if your child did good in school and finished the school year with "High Honors" or maybe he/she is good in Math and thus will get the "Best in Math" award. It's separate from a graduation ceremony, well that's how we've been doing it here as long as I can remember 😁
