Students, staff, family and friends gathered at the quadrangle for a sausage sizzle prior to the annual Carols Night. Boys moved throughout the crowd offering trays of nibblies to eat. Mini Christmas puddings on a stick, were popular treats. Christmas hamper winners included Kevin Zischke, Donna Sheales,Sandy Clavis  while the signed Confro raffle of a signed Cowbys jeresy was won by Shiralee Critchley.The P&Fcontinued the tradition of sharing little Christmas puddings with supporters before the students presented the Christmas story. While Secondary students narrated the story, Primary and Blackthorn Kindy Kids involved in acting out the scenes of the story, before a Choir of students led the singing of songs relating to the story. Popular songs for the evening  were Go Tell It On The Mountain , Sally Palmer's beautiful rendtition  of O Holy Night,Angels We Have Heard on High and  the always loved Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer(with all the echoes of course).  BTC community  also took this time to thank  retiring MinisterViv Chapman for  his commitment and support of BTC for many, many years. Thanks must go to BTC's chaplain, "Chappy" Amy Diesel, Miranda Davis, Helen Burgess on the piano, Kylee Champion, Mrs Cerqui's creative mask making and all P & F members who organised the event.
