Lunar New Year Celebration Dinner

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, the school organised a dinner gathering on February 14 at the Gold Leaf Chinese Restaurant Preston. International students from different countries enjoyed the traditional Asian foods and celebrated the Lunar New Year - the Year of Dog. The students were grateful and delighted to attend the event as it acknowledged their cultural identity and created a sense of belonging. It is important for our young people from around the world to share the time together during this festive season while they are away from family.

Talented musical students Yixiao LI, Hoang Nha Nguyen and Jinxuan LI gave a brilliant performance to add to the celebration atmosphere over the dinner.
