We had a fantastic Chinese New Year celebration on 13 February. In the morning, the Lion Dance appeared in the asphalt area accompanied by loud drumming, cymbals and a gong. All the students went outside of their classrooms to watch the Lion dance as it moved and threw mandarines to some of the lucky students who caught them. It certainly brought a lot of fun and energy to our school. Some of the students also had a chance to pat the lion. The students then went back to their classes to participate in activities related to the theme of the year of the Rooster.
Thank you to all the staff at TPPS. The day would not have been possible without your support. Thank you to the parents who helped your children dress for the day and especially thank you to your gold coin donations for the Lion Dance performance by the Jow Ga Kuen Martial Arts Association. Thank you to James C and Sihana from 5A for explaining to the crowd the significance of the Lion Dance, such as how mandarines symbolise good luck in Chinese culture. Thank you to Samantha and Kara from 5K for collecting the money from all the classes. Finally, I would like to thank the Chinese parent community for providing the delicious staff morning tea.
