International Students 

Lunar New Year Celebration Dinner

To mark the occasion of Lunar New Year, a celebration dinner was organised for our international students from year 10 to year 12. Members of the Senior Years' Team were also invited along, with the special presence of our School Principal – Mr. Jones. We were honoured to have Mr. Jones join us for the dinner, and enjoyed listening to his stories and experiences, which helped us reflect on many positive things. 

Moreover, all international students had a chance to make new friends, and to share their own stories and experiences. It was an opportunity for new students to get to know more about their friends, their teachers, and the school from many different stories. Also, after being apart for a long time due to covid, this dinner was an opportunity for a reunion for all the students and staff, where we could catch up on how everyone is going. 

It is exciting to plan for a wonderful year ahead, one in which everyone is hoping for a year of non-covid illnesses, lockdowns and normal life returning to all of us and one where our international students are welcome to join and return to face to face learning at our school. 

The taste of all the dishes from the Vietnamese restaurant certainly brightened our night. The restaurant atmosphere was also very nice, the food, the stories and the people, they were all amazing! It was a very enjoyable and memorable night.

Lastly, thank you Ms. Hill, Ms. Fiona and Ms. Kim for organising such a wonderful night and inviting us to the dinner. Thank you for all your caring of us, your support and your commitment to every event with us. No word could describe how grateful we are. 

Happy Lunar New Year and we wish all the very best to everyone.
