Mount Carmel High School hosted a Community Christmas Party in the school with 70 guests attending.
Parishoners from local Catholic Parish Churches of St. Mary’s Oswaldtwistle, St. Mary’s, Clayton-le-Moors, St. Joseph’s and St. Anne’s, local residents and staff family members were amongst the guests.
A delicious festive two course meal was prepared and served by catering staff at Mount Carmel and pupils from the school served food, waited on the guests and chatted to them.
Entertainment was provided after the meal by Mount Carmel’s choir led by music teacher Miss Javaid. They sang a selection of beautiful and powerful songs to a delighted audience. The afternoon also included a Christmas sing-a-long which was enjoyed by all who attended. Father Christmas made a special visit and joined in with the singing before drawing the raffle.
Headteacher Mr Bowers thanked everyone for attending the community party and explained to the guests that this was one of the highlights of the school Christmas events. All guests left with a small gift which had been made by pupils.
