Student celebrations

Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year can also be called Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, also known as the Zhengdan, for the traditional calendar calculation it is the beginning of the year.

The New Year in China and Chinese areas and the Han society around the world, belongs to the first of the four traditional festivals of the Han people. But The Lunar New Year isn't only observed in China, it's celebrated across several countries and other territories in Asia, including South Korea and Singapore.

The New Year is celebrated with family, and is the most important holiday for us. Missing New Year is like missing Christmas, so it is great to be able to celebrate with our school friends.

Thank you to the International Students who hosted a delicious lunch for their Cheltenham friends and teachers
