Today, our school gathered for a meaningful assembly led by the children to mark the second week of Advent, focusing on the theme of Peace. Teachers from the KG, primary and secondary sections participated in lighting the second candle on the Advent wreath, symbolizing peace.
The children shared reflections on the importance of peace in our lives, emphasizing kindness, forgiveness, and harmony. Through speeches and heartfelt messages, they showed how we can be peacemakers in our school, homes, and communities.
The assembly included a beautiful dance about peace and concluded with a prayer asking for God’s guidance to bring peace into our hearts and share it with others. It was a wonderful reminder of the true spirit of Advent and the role we all play in spreading peace.
