On Tuesday 28 November, the College community celebrated our annual Family Carols night. The service was hosted by Aksa M, our 2024 Mercy and Justice Prefect, and Rosanna C, our 2024 Faith and Ministry Prefect. Around 40 students were involved in the service by retelling the nativity story through a drama; leading the singing in the choir; or playing an instrument in the College band.
It was a relaxed evening with energetic singing by the choir and attendees, great dress-up costumes by the kids, and yummy pizzas generously supplied by the Parents and Friends’ Association. It was a fantastic evening to remind us of the true message of Christmas so elegantly expressed in the carol Hark the Herald Angels Sing:
Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the Virgin's womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th' incarnate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth.
Mild he lays his Glory by,
Born that Men no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of Earth,
Born to give them second Birth.
Merry Christmas.
