The Academy is now winding down from four marvellous days of celebration for its tenth anniversary. On 7 December, the fantastically successful Zawadi Bazaar was held at the Academy – no effort was spared to make it the biggest and best yet – and it was, providing a wonderful day out for all.
On Monday 9 December, our annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony was held – this year using one of the large Royal Palms that dominate the front courtyard. The evening concert began with musical offerings from the orchestra, Junior and Senior choirs and the Staff choir, along with smaller ensembles, and The Tribe (the Block 6 boys) performing The Little Drummer Boy in their inimitable style. As the light dimmed, the Head of Academy, Mr Simon Otieno, spoke and then the tree was lit – it was a magical moment, capping off the wonderful music offerings and leading into the community singing of carols.
