Annual Carol Service

Rustenburg Girls’ High School will celebrate the season of Christmas in their 69th Carol Service on Tuesday 6 December starting at 7 pm in the Kemp Hall. Over 400 girls will be involved in the singing of the Class carols in each Grade, which will include the two-part arrangement of `Silent Night’ traditionally sung by the Grade 11s each year, and a beautiful new Carol `God Bless Us Everyone’ from Disney’s A Christmas Carol to be sung by the Grade 8s. The Chamber Choir will include items from Karl Jenkins’ `A Celebration of Christmas’ arrangements of six carols for SSA, while both Choirs will perform the `Huron Carol’ accompanied by our Savuyisa marimba groups
The Rev Nicky Ing from St Thomas Church, Rondebosch will lead the service, and learners from the school will be reading the Lessons. Many of the traditional carols will be sung by the congregation, accompanied by the school’s Orchestra.

Everyone is welcome to attend the Service, but is advised to arrive early as there is limited seating. A Collection in aid of Christmas Charities (including The African Scholars’ Fund, Peninsula School Feeding, an Animal Welfare organisation and Little Angels) will be taken during the Service and the girls will be bringing gifts to place under the tree for needy children and the aged this Christmas.

Further information can be obtained by ringing the secretary’s office at tel. 021686-4066.
