Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations
Full moon, big moon,
Reunion and Celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival.
Along with the songs, SSIS kick off the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations. The Chinese departments from preschool to senior school have planned a variety of interesting activities for students to learn and appreciate the tradition custom and cultural significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Students had the opportunities to perform on the stage, taste moon cakes, make moon cakes, and guess Lantern Riddles with their friends.
I believe all students enjoyed learning and experiencing the Chinese traditional festival.

Chinese Level Placement Test for G1, G7 and new students
In the first week of the new academic year, the Chinese department will organize G1, G7 and new students to have a Chinese Level Placement Test.
G1 Chinese teachers will identify pupils with little Chinese background for Foundation Chinese class. The rest of the students will start our curriculum with a two-month intensive Hanyu Pinyin module, followed by a language assessment in November.
