On Monday 5th December, the primary years classes welcomed representatives from the Intangible Cultural Heritage Society to the school. The classes allowed the students to delve deeper to explore local customs and past times, some of which have their origins here in Dongguan. The activities included; grass weaving, dragon boat making, lion dancing, dragon fist kung fu, and making cantonese opera facial masks. We would like to say a big thank you to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Society for taking to time to share their wealth of knowledge and experience with the next generation.
