🎄It's time for our annual College #ChristmasCountdown!

On the twelfth day before Christmas, we reminisced on our annual Festive Concert, which took place in College last week.

It was great to see our Steinway Grand (amongst many other instruments) in such festive use!

Today is #wildlifeconservationday -- the grounds of St Anne's are doing their bit!
A fox was interested in the feral cats that live on the grounds of @stannescollege.bsky.social. At one point they approached and sniffed one of the kitties who then whipped around and hissed. The fox retreated (this is when I snapped the pic) but remained interested. It was all most excellent.

Congratulations to the St Anne's netball team, who won Friday's match against LMH 18-11. Team captain Praise Adebusoye says: "It was such a good game and was pretty intense because we didn't have any subs, but everyone played so well!"
