On Wednesday 12th December, the whole Senior School filled St Columba’s Church, Pont Street, for a wonderfully uplifting service, reminding both staff and girls all we have to be thankful for this time of year. Later that evening we welcomed all parents to enjoy the same service.

At our new venue this year, while our local St Mary’s Church in Bourne Street is being restored, the gallery was filled by our Senior Choir singing beautiful carols such as Once in Royal David’s City, O come, all ye faithful and Silent Night in German. The five advent candles were lit throughout the service and we heard readings from pupils and the Headmistress providing a meaningful end to the term. A generous collection was made for In-Deep, one of our FHS nominated charities.
