Chinese Lunar New Year

As Korea celebrated Seollal, our Chinese students and their families celebrated Chinese Lunar New Year. Throughout Korea and the School there were many Seollal celebrations and activities but for our Chinese students, who were many miles away from home for this special occasion, Ms. Maggie Dai made sure they had a taste of home!

We hope all our community celebrated well with family and have a prosperous year, but here is a special section dedicated to our Chinese students and their families.

Chinese New Year Activities

Thank you to Ms. Maggie Dai for arranging two exciting New Year activities for our Junior School students.

Ms. Dai explains what Chinese Lunar New Year is - “The Chinese Lunar New Year Festival, namely Chūn Jié (春节) is a 15-day long festival held in China to celebrate the Lunar New Year. During the festival, many fantastic performances are held, such as colourful fireworks, and Lion Dances. Many people wear, from head to toe, a red-themed costume, as they believe that the colour red provides luck. Moreover, they put money in a red envelope, called Hóng Bāo (红包), and give it to others to wish luck.”
