Learners from Kyalami Preparatory School usher in festive season with Christmas carols at Kyalami Corner Shopping Centre

Kyalami Corner was host to a number of Kyalami Preparatory School learners who performed various Christmas carols in order to bring the community together.

Jingle Bells, Silent Night, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and many more well-known Christmas carols were sung by learners from a local school at Kyalami Corner.

The start of the festive season was well ushered by Kyalami Preparatory School learners as they sang, played instruments to celebrate the beginning of the festive season and spread the Christmas spirit.
