International Students

Happy Lunar New Year!

First of all, we want to wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year. We hope you and your family have a very successful new year. Please stay safe and beat the COVID pandemic with new energy.  

Due to the current situation, international students weren’t able to go back to our home countries to celebrate Lunar New Year with our families. Lunar New Year is one of the most important family celebrations in both the Vietnamese and Chinese calendars.  Luckily, our Northcote family was always by our side. On Thursday night last week we celebrated the new year with a warm and cozy dinner, joined by some of our Northcote High School teachers.  

We enjoyed delicious Vietnamese food which was served in a seemingly never ending, banquet style. All of the dishes were appetizing and flavourful. We also received a small gift from the school to acknowledge the celebration. 

Special thanks to Ms Hill, Ms Fiona, and Ms Jessica for arranging such an amazing dinner. Your generosity and thoughtfulness are very much appreciated. Thanks to everyone who attended the party. Remember the good moments we had last year, and let’s make some better moments this new year!
