St Andrew’s Anglican College came alive last week with colour, sound and culinary delights as students and staff welcomed in the Chinese New Year, a 15-day celebration of the Lunar calendar’s new year.
Head of Languages Megan Cleyne said students were excited to greet the Year of the Dog.
“The rumble of drumming and traditional lion dancing threaded through the Primary School and into the Secondary Campus,” Mrs Cleyne said.
Lessons continued the celebrations with tasty dumpling-making and traditional paper cutting craft.
Mrs Cleyne said the importance of students celebrating the milestones of different cultures was more than just a bit of fun.
“I love teaching our children how emotions are universal, and what better way to share an international celebration and embrace language education than a major event like the Spring Festival?” she said.
