Chinese Culture Week

This year, Chinese New Year fell on Saturday 10 February, an annual tradition celebrating the beginning of a new year in the lunar calendar. This year is the Year of the Dragon. 

We celebrated Chinese New Year here at MLC School, in a variety of ways. 

 Our hallways were decorated with lanterns, fortune cookies have been savoured by all, and we heard about New Year’s traditions in a presentation from the Chinese Culture club at Senior School assembly. We also has the pleasure of watching the exuberant lion dance performance by a visiting professional troupe.

Events such as these are part of encouraging global perspective and understanding in our students, and building in them the cross-cultural competencies that will be essential in the world beyond school.

Overall, the girls had lots of fun celebrating Chinese New Year and were immersed in a week-long festival of Chinese culture and tradition!
