A new festival

Our PTA with families from our Chinese community are proud to hold the 2023 Chinese Dragon Boat Festival Celebration on 17th of June.
 
This wonderful event brings communities and families together, with traditional Chinese performances, activities and food. We will provide tasty traditional Chinese food, such as dumplings, fried noodles, Zongzi and also spring rolls.
 
There will be a range of activities you and your children can participate in and enjoy, such as lion dancing, face painting, paper cutting, calligraphy, prize draws and a Chinese children traditional show. 
 
Coffee carts, candy floss and drinks are also sold on the site.
 
Come and join us to keep winter alive and experience Chinese culture in a fun and meaningful way!

We haven’t assigned stalls to classrooms for this festival so please review and pick something that interests you to help with.

A MASSIVE thank you to the Chinese families of MENPS and some experienced fair stall holders for being stall coordinators for this event.
