Year of The Tiger – 2022 Chinese New Year Programme
Ink painting: Tigers | Artist: Jean Jing
This year the Chinese New Year, aka Spring Festival, falls on Tuesday 1st February, when the transition from Ox to Tiger takes place. We would like to take this opportunity to invite all our students, staff members, as well as members of the public, to join in our celebrations —
Happy and Healthy Year of the Tiger!
虎年快乐、安康 (Hǔ nián kuàilè ānkāng)!
As we have been continuously working hard to turn things around for a better future, we welcome mighty powers gathered by each and every one of you through the theme of Connectedness and Inclusion. The Chinese New Year is such an occasion we choose to celebrate cultural diversity, in which the Chinese community, together with the other ethnic groups, has done its best to embrace the challenges.
