24 Jan 2020 : Lunar New Year Celebration

The Lunar New Year or “ spring festival ” is a time to celebrate Togetherness with our families . This is what staff and students did as we welcomed the Year of the Rat .
The Chinese Language Department led a series of activities to celebrate the Lunar New Year . This included a workshop on couplets writing , an exhibition on the traditions of the Lunar New Year and CNY Classroom Decoration Competition . They also organised the sharing of the festive goodies amongst the staff .
Our celebrations of the Lunar New Year in SJI are like the ‘ springtime ’ buds beginning to blossom in school . Be it the bud of friendship and community , of learning and growing up , of teaching and becoming better , of care and support , of living together and sharing for all , there is something good waiting to burst forth into our lives and for our lives in the coming new lunar year .
