December 20th was the last day of school before the beginning of the winter holidays at Carmel, so the students were in the spirit of Christmas. After the last examination everyone gathered in the school auditorium to witness the tradition of “Handing  over Charge” by the school cabinet. The solemn ceremony began with each cabinet member marching to the stage and handing over their sash and badge, then seeking the blessings of Mother Veronica. The school pupil leader Mishika Goel and assistant school pupil leader Aanya Swami gave heartwarming farewell speeches. The students of classes VI and I, with the guidance of the class teachers, dance and music teachers, presented a special program to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. Starting with prayers and carols, they narrated the story of Christmas through a short play. There were some energetic dances bringing the audience to their feet. The message of Christmas was depicted in a skit. The principal Sister Sefali addressed the students, asking them to inculcate the values of this special occasion. In the end the students were especially excited to see a teacher dressed as Santa Claus and performing the dance with Class I students.
