Lions Come Alive

Last week marked a special milestone as our school held a traditional lion awakening ceremony. Dr. Wattam performed the sacred dotting ritual, bringing the lions to life in a vibrant display of culture and tradition.

With each careful stroke of the brush, the eyes of the magnificent lions were ceremonially opened, symbolizing their awakening and the infusion of spirit into these guardians. The once-still figures now pulse with energy and life, ready to bring good fortune, strength, and protection to our school community.

The ceremony was a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage that connects us, and our lions now stand proudly animated—not just as decorations, but as living symbols filled with spirit and meaning.
