Pupils welcomed in the Year of the Snake at the end of January, with a celebration full of tradition, learning, and festivities.

Beginning in Morning Chapel, Peter R, Will H, and Pablo BG gave insightful presentations on the Chinese zodiac and the history of Chinese New Year. Their talk, accompanied by a PowerPoint designed by Sophia L and Tiger M, helped educate the school community on the cultural significance of the celebration.

Later, in the decorated dining hall, pupils tucked in to a feast of Chinese cuisine. From dishes like sweet and sour crispy chicken, beef in black bean sauce, and hoisin stir fry vegetables, to classic accompaniments like egg fried rice, chow mein and spring rolls.

The celebrations continued over the weekend with a special trip to the Baby Buddha Chinese Teahouse.
