‘It is good to be children sometimes,
And never better than at Christmas,
When its mighty founder
Was a child himself’
(Charles Dickens – A Christmas Carol)
The Divine children began their Christmas festivities in school with Carol Singing on Monday 19th December for Std. VII to Std. X and on Tuesday 20th December 2016 for Std. V & VI.
It is a time of the year, when the heart is exalted and sings with gladness!! And the lilting voices of these angels filled the auditorium of the school!! They crooned praises of the babe born in Bethlehem in song and their hearts believed in His glory!!
It was a soul-warming sight so see and hear the whole class present their carols… even though they are not all blessed with nightingale voices!! A thought of Maya Angelou comes to mind… “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.”

The Christmas Tableau titled ‘The Christmas Symbol Story’ was presented by the Secondary students on Tuesday 20th December 2016. The array of various Christmas symbols explaining their meaning enlightened the students on the purpose of using the symbols.
An enjoyable morning spent.

Before closing for the festive season, the students enjoyed a swinging Christmas party in their respective classrooms with their class teachers on Thursday 22nd December 2016. The lavish spread of sweetmeats and Christmas cookies tempted the palate. The children left for their winter vacation with satisfied tummies and a happy mind, looking forward to a cheerful season and a exciting New Year.
