context_page_description: Beijing National Day School is a Chinese junior high and high school. Established in 1952, Beijing National Day School is one of the most prestigious high schools in China. It is located in Yuquanlu, Haidian District, Beijing, China. A long time beacon high school, BNDS distinguishes itself as a leading institution in both student activities and academic performance. BNDS frequently appears in the news and is often proclaimed to be a role model of next generation high school education in China. The school used to be affiliated with the People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China. It was established dedicating to the education for the children of senior level PLA officers, before being opened to public in 1964 and became a common high school ever since. Today BNDS is no longer affiliated to the PLA. Every year, about 60 graduates, making about 20 percent of the graduating class, are admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, the two most prestigious ones in China. BNDS constantly stays within the top 3 in terms of college admission results in Beijing, which is also home to many other China's top high schools.
context_section_description: The student's leagues of October First school are classified as school-level leagues and non-School-level leagues. Financing for school-level leagues is provided from the school budget. Fees for non-school level leagues are paid by the student. Leagues recruit new members at the start of each term, and anyone who wants to set up a new league must apply to the school administrator office in that period.
  Every April and November there are two periods for league activities and exhibits. Sometimes, the school administration may upgrade some of the better activities, and bestow the award "Elite League".
  All leagues are nominally managed by the Student Union and Communistic Youth League Committee of October First School. However, the Student Union and CYLC have no jurisdictional powers.
  The permanent student activities of school are Moot, flea market and student gymkhana. These three are school level activities, which means they are supported by the school administrator. In addition, there are some other activities, such Christmas parties, New Year parties in classes and dormitories, and a mid-autumn party which are held independently by the students.
