Lunar New Year

On Friday 10th February, Saint Ignatius College students and staff celebrated the Lunar New Year and in particular, 2023 The Year of the Rabbit. It was an excellent opportunity for the school community to come together and participate in a traditional Chinese Fan Dance performance, listen to Chinese Folk songs, receive a Good Luck bracelets ( Gold and Red ) and read a 2023 message whilst enjoying a Fortune Cookie treat.

The Lunar New Year celebrations are the most important social holiday for billions of people around the world. The celebration is tied to the lunar solar acknowledging the " second moon " of the new year on the Chinese calendar and was originally observed as a time to honour households and ancestors.

Saint Ignatius College is proud to celebrate and acknowledge all cultures, customs and traditions. Celebrating our differences, as well as our common interests, helps unite and educate us. To understand others perspectives, to broaden our own and to fully experience and educate ourselves, builds us as a stronger community.

New Year Goodness to all.
