Our school hosted our annual Special Assembly event on Wednesday, 11 November to thank our donors for their support throughout the year. This year, the spirited event was streamed virtually on Facebook Live, with more than 150 of the school’s donors, students, partners and staff members watching the blockbuster show.

Our two talented young MC’s, Alutha (Gr 7) and Tiyara (Gr 9) lead the event, we shared shared candid reflections on how our school navigated a challenging year, we paid tribute to our beloved founder and we shared our exciting plans for 2021. The event also featured electrifying musical performances by our students and alumni and included a special appearance by South African musical icon, Vicky Sampson.

Our school’s beloved founder, the late Christel DeHaan would have celebrated her 78th birthday on 20 October 2020. Every year, all the Christel House institutions around the world celebrate Christel’s birthday on what is known as ‘Founder’s Day’. To honour her, our school commissioned a special painting by one of our talented alumni, Toy-Yiebah Cupido and unveiled it at a small ceremony at our school.

Toy-Yieba shares Ms. Christel’s love for art and passion for introducing art to children from underprivileged communities.
