Christmas Lights Ceremony

CBC Preparatory School has been invited by Cork City Council to participate in the Christmas Lights Ceremony on Friday next.  If a sufficient number of pupils and parents are interested we will make arrangements for a group to take part in this seasonal event.  A text was sent out today to parents about this event and further information will follow.  The City Council invitation is as follows:

Turning on of the City Christmas lights will take place at 6pm on 18th November in Emmet place. There will be a stage area, music and carols and a high profile personality to turn on the lights. We are contacting all the local primary and secondary schools to see if they have a school choir that would be interested in the following:

  • Participating in the turning on of the lights event
  • Attend a conductor led rehearsal at 4pm on the 18th November for a joint sing along in a venue in the city. Hot chocolates and mince pies provided.
  • Sing carols in a specific location in the city and join other schools in Emmet place at 6pm for a joint carol sing song and turning on of the city Christmas lights.
