Caroni Presbyterian Re-Enacts the Nativity Story Posted: Tuesday, December 6, 2016
By Stephen Kangal December 06, 2016
Staff and Students ably supported by the parents of the Caroni Presbyterian School recreated the events, using song, dance and skits that led to and culminated in the nativity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This they staged to enhance the formal opening of their annual Creche and Tree and Candle Lighting function held at the School on Friday morning 25 November 2016.

Miss Candice Mohan initiated the commemorative programme with an expressive liturgical dance that was followed by the ceremonial lighting of colour-coded Advent candles symbolizing hope, love, joy and peace.
Xmas greetings were brought to the school assembly by Mr Charles Mahabir, School Manager and member of the Presbyterian Primary Board of Education as well as by Ms Narina Kalloo, the School's Guidance Officer and Presiding Elder Mr Larry Kowlessar. Rev Damien Sieunarine delivered the Xmas Message of hope interactively rapping engagingly with the eager responsive students.

I was very pleased to witness the dramatic skills, colourful costuming, stage confidence and enthusiasm exhibited by all students who participated in the programme including the School's Choir- well-trained and ably conducted by Ms Shasta Sambucharran, long-serving Staff member and rendering Xmas carols and swaying parang music.

The item based on displaying the twelve symbols of Xmas as well as the creative and innovative re-scripting of the Twelve Days of Xmas in which chataigne, roti and tamarind balls held the expanding and repetitive chorus together was outstanding.

As a 1955 graduate of this School I welcome and am pleased with the great strides achieved under the Principal-ship of Mrs Jenny Kowlessar and her devoted Staff members that exceeded all my former expectations.
All present enjoyed a delectable array of refreshments courtesy of many corporate sponsors. Santa has arrived in Caroni riding on a bison bearing gifts to entice the naughty and the nice. The Angels who sang the Anthem
