Welcome to Term 2: Kicking off the Year of the Rabbit in Style

Welcome back to school, and welcome to the Year of the Rabbit! It has been fantastic to meet the new students joining us this term, and has been equally wonderful seeing our students return to campus for Term 2 refreshed, reinvigorated and as committed as ever to modelling our College community values;

This has been a short but busy week, and in addition to lots of great teaching and learning, we have been celebrating Chinese New Year in style. On Friday we hosted our traditional Chinese New Year assembly, which saw parents, students and teachers taking to the stage with some spectacular performances. This culminated with a skillful lion dance at the entrance to the College, symbolizing good luck and success for the community this year.
