Chinese Language Day Celebration

Our school recently celebrated Chinese Language Day with enthusiasm, alongside other schools from Canberra, at Albert Hall. Principal Dr Wattam joined the festivities and delivered the opening speech in Chinese, showing wonderful support for our languages program and students' multicultural learning journey.

The celebration featured outstanding performances from our talented students. Mackenzie Shain and Yar Alier delivered a beautiful poetry recitation, showcasing their language skills and cultural understanding. Sopiato Mchao captivated the audience with a melodious Chinese song performance.
