competition as part of the festivities held to
celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year.
A member of the Counselling Club lending a The competition started at around 7:50 a.m. as
helping hand
students were seen unrolling their newspapers
and preparing the necessary supplies while
engaging in amiable chatter. Although the
competition was originally supposed to be held
in the school’s courtyard, the location was
changed to the students' respective classes due
to unfortunate weather. Nevertheless, the
atmosphere was just as lively, with festive
Chinese songs broadcasted throughout the
school.
A student’s work.
Like all the previous years, the senior and junior students were given the option of
writing their manuscripts in either Traditional or Simplified Chinese. The teachers
and Counselling Club members worked tirelessly to ensure that the competition ran
smoothly, providing parchment and guidance to the students.
With the nostalgic scent of calligraphy ink wafting through the hallways, ink-
splotched hands were seen submitting their work as the competition came to an end at
8:30 a.m. Some students were seen filing out of their classroom to participate in the
other festivities lined up for the day, while others were spotted posing with their
works proudly. All in all, the success of the Chinese Calligraphy Competition started
the Chinese New Year Celebrations on a high note.
