Lunar New Year Celebrations at St Catherine’s

Students and parents welcomed in the Year of the Dog at special celebrations last Friday.

The key event of the celebrations was a Lion Dance in the Sherren House forecourt performed by the Chinese Youth Society of Melbourne, view the video of this here.

The Lion Dance was followed by morning tea for parents with traditional New Year food and a performance on the zither by Year 4 student, Isabelle Cao.

Year 4 students also learnt about the traditional Chinese tea ceremony and the Years 9 and 10 Chinese language class celebrated with a dumpling lunch.

 新年快 Happy New Year!
