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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We celebrated Chinese New Year here at MLC School, in a variety of ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Our hallways were decorated with lanterns, fortune cookies have been savoured by all, and we heard about New Year\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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