Celebrating the Chinese New Year of the Monkey

This year’s wonderful celebrations started with a coffee morning where members of staff were treated to Chinese biscuits, snacks and tea as well as being entertained by over 20 Mandarin pupils with various types of performances. Members of staff who were born in the Year of the Monkey were given a surprise gift!

All S2 pupils took part in various Chinese workshops, learned Chinese New Year songs and wrote Chinese characters as part of the celebrations. Pupils were fascinated by the dancing, painting, Taiji fan and tea ceremony workshops.

We welcomed visitors from Buchanan High School and Glencryan School who were invited to experience some exciting Chinese culture at Our Lady’s High School.
