2022 Chinese Culture Week and CNY Celebration Day
Week 21 Monday 24th January – Friday 28th January
We will be hosting Chinese Culture Week for all our ECE and Primary students from Monday January 24 to Friday January 28, 2022. This event is far more than just having fun and celebrating; it will be a great week of cultural-related activities, giving students and teachers the opportunity to experience the joy and excitement of their host country’s culture. It will also allow students to explore different aspects of Chinese culture which will help them gain a greater insight and connection to China. Formal Primary Chinese Language lessons will not run during this week, as the children will be participating in various cultural activities. ECE students will also join this event to gain more experience of the Chinese culture.
