The students always look forward to this event and are delighted to host their guests as well as entertain them with a variety of musical performances and games.

In addition to musical and drama performances the students sang songs including ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas,’ ‘She’s the Brightest Star’ from ‘Nativity!,’ and ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas.’ There was also a raffle, with prizes handed out by Head Lars Fox, crosswords to complete and a quiz organized by the students.

All the guests had a lovely time. Barbara Weatherstone said:

“What a beautiful event, so professionally organised. Everyone is so friendly, and the girls are amazing. A great afternoon!”
