Ichthus Senior Prize Giving – a blessed evening
The Joy of the Lord really is the schools' strength....
On Wednesday November 30, Ichthus held their annual prize giving. Brother Daniel of Trinity Presbyterian Church began the evening with an inspirational message, followed by the Ichthus choir singing sweetly. Mrs Viljoen delivered her annual report in rhyme form to the delight of young and old. Each learner at Ichthus received a book prize which mentions his or her unique accomplishments and character. The evening ended with a candle lighting ceremony where the Grade 6 learners take over leadership of the school from Grade 7 learners. Ichthus would like to thank all the parents, learners and staff who worked together to make this year a success. The Joy of the Lord really is the schools’ strength.
