Mid Autumn Festival - 21 Sep 2007

The celebration was graced by our Principal Mrs Lim, our two VPs Mdm Asrinah and Mrs Jacinta Lim. They also became the judges for the Pri 1 Lantern Parade compeitition. It was amazing that within a short time, our little ones could show off their lanterns and also performing ‘cat walk’ in front of a big crowd and the PM teachers. The mini-concert also included performances by YZPS Guzheng and Chinese Dance group. The legend of the mid-autumn festival and riddle guessing game added delights to the celebration. Finally, congratulations to all the creative winners of the lantern making competition.

In the morning on the same day, photo slides of this year lighting-up ceremony in the Chinatown was shown to all from Pri 3 to Pri 6. Many thanks as well to all teachers and pupils on stage and behind the scene who made this event possible.
