Traditionally this ancient Mid-Autumn Festival prays for the harvest, fine weather and peace for the country. Because the harvest was tied to the moon cycle, the festival takes place when the moon is at its fullest – this year on Saturday 10th September.
The Foyer was adorned with colourful lanterns, platters of food and beautiful moon cakes, there was re-uniting of the wider Chinese community, sharing gifts and enjoying the entertainment on offer.
Year 7 student Angel Tao performed a stunning festive ribbon dance and our Year 8 guzheng star, Eva Zhang performed as well. This traditional instrument has been around for over 2000 years and is hugely popular in China due to its versatility and beautiful haunting sound.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this event such a wonderful success.
