‘Tis The Season of Peace
SHC Principle's BlogThe festive spirit enveloped Shrewsbury City Campus throughout the month of December, transforming our school into a hub of Christmas celebrations. For us, Christmas is not just a season; it’s a time for peace, resonating with the core values we hold dear.
There’s something magical about Christmas that warms our hearts, and this enchantment is amplified when our sweet children serenade us with delightful Christmas carols. The school resonated with festive music and captivating performances, each song carrying a profound message that stirred the depths of our emotions.
Light a candle for peace
Light a candle for love
Light a candle that shines all the way around the world
Light a candle for me
Light a candle for you
That our wish for world peace
Will one day come true!
This heartfelt song is a favourite among our students, and we join together in singing it during our Christmas celebrations.
Our commitment to the value of peace extends beyond reflection; it manifests in action. Our Community Engagement Team worked tirelessly throughout the month, collaborating with partner charities for various Christmas appeals. One notable initiative was the Christmas Shoebox Gift Appeal for Second Chance Bangkok, where we filled gift boxes with toys, stationery, and snacks to bring joy to the children in the Khlong Toei Community. We also joined the Christmas Food Drive, collecting essential food items for Scholars of Sustenance. This initiative aimed to provide support to remote communities, low-income areas, and preschools during the festive season.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed generously to these initiatives. Your donations have made a significant impact, spreading joy and warmth to those in need during this special time of year.
As we bid farewell to December, we carry the spirit of Christmas and the values it represents into the new year. Together, let’s continue to light candles of peace, love, and hope, fostering a world where our collective wish for lasting peace becomes a reality.
