Students at Camborne Science and International Academy (CSIA) have started the Christmas celebrations at their annual carol service on Thursday December 6.

“Thank you to all those in our school community who attended our Christmas celebration” said Steve Simmonds, assistant principal key stage three at CSIA. “It was such a lovely evening and we’re very proud of all the students involved. It was a showcase event exemplifying the excellence of our students.”

The year seven choir entertained the congregation with their carol singing and their wonderful rendition of ‘This is Me’. Throughout the evening, there were excellent contributions from CSIA singers and musicians, including Joshua Patterson of year ten who excelled at accompanying on piano.

Year seven readers provided a timely reminder of the Christmas story and Alan Pope and Camborne Youth Band entertained the congregation with their Christmas medley.

“We’re very proud of our students who performed brilliantly in front of a huge congregation” said Steve Simmonds. “We would also like to give thanks to everyone who attended and showed their support.”

The address and blessing was delivered by Father Anthony, who is a member of CSIA’s Chaplaincy Team.

“Our annual Carol Service is always such a wonderful occasion and a timely reminder of why we celebrate Christmas” added CSIA principal Ian Kenworthy.

“Everyone in attendance joined in with a selection of carols to ensure that the occasion was a joyous one to mark the beginning of the festive celebrations.”
