Carmel Convent School, Chandigarh

Christmas was celebrated in the school. Everyone gathered in the school auditorium to witness the tradition of “Handing over Charge” by the school cabinet. The solemn ceremony began with each cabinet member marching to the stage and handing over their sash and badge, then seeking the blessings of Mother Veronica. School pupil leader Mishika Goel and assistant school pupil leader Aanya Swami gave heart-warming farewell speeches. The students of classes VI and I, with the guidance of the class teachers, dance and music teachers, presented a special programme to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. Starting with prayers and carols, they narrated the story of Christmas through a short play. There were some energetic dances bringing the audience to their feet. The message of Christmas was depicted in a skit. Principal Sister Sefali addressed the students, asking them to inculcate the values of this special occasion. In the end, the students were especially excited to see a teacher dressed as Santa Claus and performing the dance with Class VI students.
