The chill in the air. The melodious caroling. The dulcet sounds of jingling bells. The green lit-up Christmas trees. It’s that time of the year again! As we approached the month of December, the spirit of Christmas crept into each one of us. Preparations for the Christmas-themed variety entertainment programme had begun in the school from mid-November, as everyone from the little ones in the preparatory department to the senior boys of class nine and eleven were engaged in practices.
This year’s programme, usually held in the Spence Hall auditorium, was held on the East Terrace of Constantia for the very first time due to safety concerns, on Sunday, 5th of December, 2021. The Principal inaugurated the programme by welcoming parents and visitors, followed by a heartwarming show put up by the nursery and preparatory students dressed up as little Santa’s. Classes one to seven charmed the audience with their thrilling dance performances, after which the bilingual choir of class eight sung euphonious carols. The performances concluded with a contemporary dance medley by the students of classes nine and eleven portraying Santa and the Elves. Next in line was the narration of ‘The First Christmas’ by the senior boys, interspersed with hymns intonated by our college choir and a few faculty members, alongside which the students enacted the story of God becoming Man through the Nativity Play.
The evening in December came to an end with an eloquent speech by our Principal in which he expressed his gratitude towards all those working behind the scenes to make the programme a success. The entire duration of the programme was being live-streamed online for people to enjoy from the comfort of their homes as well.
Subsequently, the parents and children were led to the Mews field to relish the mouth-watering delicacies such as Chicken Rolls, Momos, Vegetable Noodles, Burgers, Sandwiches, Pani Puri and Coffee served in various stalls at the variety food fair.
A perfect way to end a beautiful evening with the joyful spirit of Christmas in each one’s heart.

The students of La Martiniere are the heart and soul of the college, and it is for them that Children’s Day is celebrated every year as a fun-filled day with entertaining programmes and activities.
The day began with an amusing ‘special assembly’ held at 11 a.m. at the East Terrace attended by a majority of middle and senior school students. The pupil authorities swapped roles with teachers. Our College Captain, dressed in the academic gown, conducted the assembly while our Principal, wearing the college uniform, stood among the students. The college prayer and pledge were followed by special recognition given to the teachers. The assembly gave over with the college song, after which delicious treat boxes, prepared by the college kitchen, were distributed to the students in their classes, who were giving their assessments.
Due to government restrictions, we were not able to have the usual programme in the Spence Hall, but we made the most out of the day despite the limitations. We look forward to next year’s Children’s Day as we hope for things to get back to normal, so that we can have a grand programme with all students and bring life back into the school!

The years 2020 and 2021 have been heart aching and overwhelming for most of us. Many Martinians have lost their loved and dear ones. In the hope of empathising with their family, and wishing to provide a sense of comfort and closure, La Martiniere College held a Memorial Service on 1st November, 2021. The service was conducted in the evening at The East Terrace courtyard.
The Memorial was held to remember and honour late members of La Martiniere’s extended family. In a gesture of humble reverence, the College Captain lit a memorial flame on behalf of the Martinians present. Leaders from different faiths were invited to help the bereaved with their grief in accordance with the faith tradition they practice.
A part of the memorial was the commemoration of the deceased for which students were chosen. Each student intoned names of the deceased in chronological order, which was followed by the striking of the gong. With each strike, the silence in the courtyard deepened. The respected leaders, students and teachers of different faiths gave heartwarming messages to the ones who were grieving and more importantly prayed for the departed souls. The different faith leaders also blessed the memory plaque which was later unveiled in the college chapel.
Moving towards the end of the ceremony the buglers played the ‘The Last Post’ and ‘The Rouse’ thereby symbolizing the end of the day’s activities. With these iconic bugle calls in the background, lanterns were released in the dark sky from the chapel terrace leaving everyone heavy hearted and in awe at the same time.
