Chinese New Year celebrations
The Chinese New Year celebration 2020 held on January 24
was an exciting event for the Crescentian family.
The day began with form-teacher-and-class-interaction for
the secondary 1s and 3s. Many classes enjoyed class Lo-Hei, saying good wishes
for the New Year and enjoying the food in their classrooms, all of which were elaborately
decorated for the Inter-class Decoration contest. Meanwhile, the sec 2s and 4s
had an extended Chinese New Year recess, savouring the delicious food prepared
by the Crescent Parent Support Group, such as ice cream, nachos and chicken
nuggets. Afterwards, sec 1s and 3s had their Chinese New Year recess while sec
2s and 4s had form teacher and class interaction.
As part of the celebration, the entire school headed to
the parade square for a special dragon and lion dance performance. The
excitement was palpable as students cheered to the intense drum beats and
watched the performers execute countless stunts.
The celebration ended with our signature Chinese New Year
concert, where Crescentians enjoyed two wonderful dance acts performed by our
Chinese and Modern Dance society, as well as a song and dance performance by
our scholars from China. The school also enjoyed an entertaining performance by
our very own teachers. The concert concluded with the announcement of the class
decoration contest winners and a few words from our Principal, Mrs Chong.
All in all, Crescentians had an enjoyable day at school, and
look forward to more Chinese New Year celebrations over the long weekend.
