Sacred Heart College pupils celebrated the start of the festive season at the Johannesburg Zoo recently.
They participated in the merriment at the Tree of Light, hosted by HospiceWits and the Star Seaside Fund.
Families attended with picnic blankets, baskets and candles for an evening of choir, carol and thousands of sparkling globes.
The Sacred Heart College marimbas opened the evening and the primary school choir sang with the Welsh Male Choir.
Pianist, Francis Ovenden who is a grade 11 pupil, led the choir.
The Christmas tree was lit in memory of loved ones battling cancer. Each globe carried a message of love, hope and good wishes.
“It was an unforgettable event that raised a substantial amount of money for individuals diagnosed with terminal illness, to be cared for by HospiceWits and for the children who benefit from the Seaside Fund,” said Ms Naomi Meyer, the marketing co-ordinator of Sacred Heart College.
