Concert 2013

On Saturday, 26 October 2013, we had our annual school concert, prize giving and Christmas Party.  Our concert theme for this year was:  "Our God, Creator of the Universe":

We took our audience on a journey through the planets: from Mercury all the way to Pluto, celebrating the infinite power of our God and His majesty.  

Thank you very much to all our sponsors who made this day possible!  

Thank you HARITH, Bernice, Corlie and Pam for our kid's gifts and sweeties!
