Lunar New Year


Hello everyone, 

 

The Lunar New Year is almost upon us and will be on Friday 12th February  this year. 2021 is the Year of OX and people who were born in the year of OX (1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021) are said to be honest, earnest, intelligent and reliable. They are also believed to be good at leading and managing, but can be a bit strict at times. 

 

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we will have a special Lunar New Year lunch on Friday 12th February. The options are BBQ pork with vegetables and steamed rice or stir-fry tofu and vegetables and steamed rice. Order forms have been sent home with students and need to be returned to lunch order baskets by Monday 8th February.
