The event featured a Christmas-themed drama play, musical performances from the DBS orchestra and choir, culminating in a Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, conducted by the Principal Mark McVeigh, and Well-being Manager Lisa McVeigh, with the rest of the DBS community singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”, reinforcing the harmonious community of the DBS family.
On 15h December, joyous festivity and happiness continued with the DBS Christmas Fair, organised for the third year, but with an expanded programme of amusement rides on the campus, menus served by food trucks, students’ musical performances, and raffle prizes.

DBS will donate the revenue to charity and foundations in Nonthaburi province, namely Rainbow House - for children with disabilities in Pakred, Wat Singthong School , and the Aomgred Community Hospital.
