Christmas Celebration

Despite not being able to celebrate Christmas face-to-face, our online Christmas celebration is just as heartwarming this year.

The Student Association prepared an online Christmas Greeting video that involved our Principal, teachers and schoolmates sharing their joy and beautiful memories about this special season. The familiar faces and warm greetings of our fellow Franciscans brought smiles to the faces of all those sitting in front of the screen. We might be separated by distance, but not by heart.

The day ended with the Singing Contest Finale organized by the Music Association. The sweet voices of our Franciscans had rejuvenated our mind and brought us joy.

May the Lord continue to bestow His blessings upon the school and every one in it.

This year, unfortunately, because of the pandemic, we took a Christmas celebration video rather than organized a celebration in the hall. We have learnt techniques such as video editing and adding of effects. Throughout the process, we encountered lots of unexpected situations. These setbacks, however, have been a valuable learning opportunity and most of all, it is an honour to be able to contribute our part in organizing school events.
