Alumni carol service full of festive celebration

Alumni and friends gathered in the Chapel and Arlosh Hall for our annual Alumni Carol Service 

We were pleased to welcome alumni and friends to our annual Alumni Carol Service on Saturday the sixth of December. With over 65 attendees and their guests, the Chapel was lively and full as members of the choir graced us with a beautiful variety of classic carols, beginning with "Once in Royal David’s City" and concluding with "O Come, All Ye Faithful."  Readings were given by the Principal, Dr Hana Navratilova, Dr Zoe Rucker, Sam Habib (2025) and alumni, Isobel Mackie (2022), Muloongo Muchelemba (2002), and Joshua Riddick (2017).

Following the service, mulled wine and a variety of festive treats were served in Arlosh Hall, which was buzzing with festive joy as alumni and friends took the opportunity to connect and catch up.  

Many thanks to our Chaplain, Rev Dr Claire MacDonald, and Director of Music, Stephen Taylor, for putting together a wonderful order of service and to Kate Wilson, Kate Alderson-Smith, and Nick Jefferies for all their help towards organising the day.  

Happy holidays to our alumni and friends both near and far! We hope to see many of you at one of our upcoming events in 2026.
