• Our school recently organized a Chinese Character Writing Competition, which was met with enthusiastic participation. We received a total of 91 entries.

Junior Age Group 

First Prize: Katrina Lei  

Second Prize: Ivanka Huang , Lingsheng Xue

Third Prize: Rylan Deng , Ryan Lu, Terence Yang  

Finalist Awards: Doris Gao ,Sarah Li ,Aaron Li , Cecilia Yang ,Ziqiao Yu

Finalist Awards: Madiline Guo ,Sydney Ng ,Amber Xu, Ziqi Yu ,

                            Thomas Zhang

The school will present the award certificates and prizes (tuition vouchers) to the winners at an appropriate time. A separate notice will be issued with the specific arrangements. Thank you to all the students who participated. Many students wrote very well, and their work wasn't much different from the winning entries. However, due to limited spots, some excellent works were unfortunately not selected. Winning is not the ultimate goal; the focus is on participation. The purpose of this competition is to emphasize the importance of Chinese character writing, understand and master the basic rules of Chinese character writing, and not only learn Chinese well but also write Chinese characters well. We hope to see more students striving for awards in the next competition.

 *A small number of parents have not included their child’s full name when making online tuition payments, which causes significant difficulty for the school when reconciling records—sometimes, even after a lot of effort, we’re unable to determine who made the payment. We kindly ask all parents to always include the full English first and last name of the student when making future payments. Thank you for your cooperation!
