2026 Chinese New Year
20 February 2026
Cedar Primary ushered in the Chinese New Year with a vibrant and meaningful celebration filled with learning and joy. In the classrooms, students discovered the significance of “lo hei” and enthusiastically took part to toss the colourful “ingredients” in class, sharing well-wishes and laughter with their friends.
The festive spirit continued with a lively concert in the school hall. We were treated to an energetic dance performance by our International Dance CCA, a delightful singing performance by children from MK, a cheerful dance item by a group of Primary 2 students, and a spectacular lion dance that brought excitement to all.
As this year’s Total Defence Day coincided with Chinese New Year, the concert thoughtfully incorporated the theme of Total Defence. Throughout the week, students also took part in recess activities to learn more about the six pillars of defence. To provide a more authentic learning experience, students also went through a simulated power disruption in school, helping them better understand the importance of resilience and preparedness.
It was truly a celebration that blended tradition, community and the spirit of Total Defence, reminding us that together, we can build a strong and resilient nation.
