The Student Council took the lead in planning and organising the Lunar New Year festivities, creating an inclusive experience for everyone in our school. During the assembly, Petr V (Collinson), Rayyan K (Burton Bank), and Hadi N (Ridgeway) explained the cultural importance of why the Lunar New Year is celebrated. Ricky L (Ridgeway) shared interesting things about the customs in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, while Christy C (Oak) took us on a cultural journey through Vietnam. Haejoon Y (Collinson) and Bond S (Burton Bank) talked about celebrations in Korea and Thailand. To wrap it up, Ryan S (Burton Bank) told us about the Lunar New Year customs in Singapore, showcasing the variety of traditions in our diverse school.
Three solo performances
Kendwa K (Macgregor) wrote and read her beautifully composed poem, capturing the spirit of Lunar New Year celebrations. Jacky Z (Ridgeway) delighted everyone with a special performance, setting the perfect tone for the festivities with a celebratory song. The stage came alive as Jimmy L (Ridgeway) showcased his dancing talents. Both pupils and teachers enjoyed the performances, making the Lunar New Year celebration memorable.
Interactive Fun: Quiz, Fortune Cookies, and Surprises
David E (Oak) designed an engaging quiz where the audience actively participated, testing their knowledge about Lunar New Year traditions. As a sweet reward, fortune cookies were distributed, bringing luck and smiles to everyone present. Underneath the chairs, Vova C (Oak) cleverly hid surprise messages containing fun facts, adding an extra layer of excitement to the assembly. Clara Z (Collinson) and Jimmy L (Ridgeway) won the best dressed competition and will be receiving a Head’s Commendation in our next assembly.
The assembly concluded on a high note with everyone taking a bow together, symbolising the unity and spirit of our school community.
