On December 18, 2024, the Priestland Educational Centre hosted a heartwarming and successful “Carols and Nine Lessons” program. This annual event has become a cherished tradition within the community, bringing together students, parents, staff, and local residents to celebrate the festive season through music and storytelling.

Program Highlights

The evening commenced with an introduction by the Principal of Priestland Educational Centre, who welcomed attendees and emphasized the importance of community spirit during the holiday season. Following this, a series of nine lessons were presented, each accompanied by traditional carols performed by various student choirs. The lessons included readings from both religious texts and classic literature that reflect themes of hope, joy, and goodwill.

The choir performances were particularly noteworthy this year. Students showcased their talents with renditions of popular carols such as “Silent Night,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” The audience was treated to both solo performances and group numbers that highlighted the diverse musical abilities within the school.

Community Involvement

The event saw significant participation from local families and community members. Many attendees expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to gather in celebration of the season. Local businesses also contributed to the event by sponsoring refreshments that were served during intermissions. This collaboration between the school and local enterprises fostered a sense of unity among participants.

Feedback collected from attendees indicated overwhelming satisfaction with the program. Parents praised not only the quality of performances but also the effort put forth by students in preparing for this event. One parent noted, “It’s wonderful to see our children engaged in such meaningful activities that promote both their artistic talents and community values.”

The Carols and Nine Lessons program at Priestland Educational Centre successfully fulfilled its mission to spread joy and foster community spirit during this festive season. As participants left with smiles on their faces and holiday cheer in their hearts, plans for next year’s event are already underway.
