By Hannah (2J), Natasha (1D) & Yuhan (1W)
We chose these photos as they best represent the spirit of Chinese New Year and bring out the festive news that we rarely get to showcase and display with pride for the efforts that many people put in. This symbolises the strong Chinese culture St Nick’s displays proudly every beautiful year, with many hearts coming together to make the celebrations truly fall into place and inspire us to keep our wonderful traditions alive as well as the glorious spirit that inside all of us.
