Our Lady’s School was bursting with colour, creativity, and curiosity as students celebrated Chinese New Year with two days of hands-on workshops. As a designated Confucius Classroom, the school embraced the spirit of the Year of the Snake, giving pupils a chance to explore Chinese culture through art, language, and interactive experiences—all delivered by 69´«Ã½â€™s Confucius Institute.

Teachers praised the workshops for their engaging, interactive style and the creative use of language and multimedia to bring Chinese culture to life.
