Festive face masks, decorated Perspex desk dividers, in-bubble class parties, online classroom concerts and Santa zooming past on a scooter – this is how schools will be celebrating Christmas this year.
As the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of traditional school concerts, fairs and parties, schools are determined to ensure that the Christmas spirit is still very present.
“We have made a promise to ourselves as a school: COVID-19 will not take the magic of Christmas away from our students,” San Andrea head of school Stefania Bartolo said.
“This year we have decided to decorate the school quite early,” she said.
