Chinese New Year started last Sunday, January 22, and students at Halcyon were prepared to celebrate. In fact, Angie ‘24’s CAS project has been centred around a community-wide celebration. On Monday, January 23, Angie carefully curated a lunch in collaboration with the catering team, and Grade 10 Mandarin students presented to mentor groups to educate Halcyon School on the story and traditions of Chinese New Year.
Monday was a busy and enjoyable day for Halcyon. Students started their afternoon lessons by receiving red packets (红包, hóngbāo) filled with candy and fake money, along with an information card on the place of these in Chinese society.
The excitement did not stop at a themed lunch and educational presentation, though. Ms Lin’s Mandarin students from Grade 6-10 appreciated traditional calligraphy lessons. The students’ final products were on display around the school on the 23rd, along with some other rabbit-themed decor.
恭喜发财！
