春节 Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year fell on 23rd January 2012 and was the start of the Year of the Dragon.

 

To mark the occassion the School held a celebration for pupils and their families and friends on 28th January - for some photos click here

The occassion was a great event and fun for performers and their supporters alike.

 

Staring at 2:00PM, the School Principal, 肖校长，welcomed the audience who had come to support students whether children, wives, husbands or parents. Three students then took on the role of hosts to introduce the performances and students representing every class in the school made individual and group presentations of their Mandarin and Chinese Cultural skills.

 

There were 31 separate items ranging from a short song, 我们一起唱歌, performed by the year 1 class to a performance of 渔舟唱晚 by 黄琦 on the 古筝 a classical chinese instruement. The performance ended with Adult Class 2 leading the audience in singing 恭喜恭喜 accompanied by 杨老师.

 

To close this session, 肖校长 thanked the performers and their supporters, reviewed the School's achievements over the last year noting the national and Chinese Government awards the School's teachers had won. The teachers then came to the stage where they were introduced and presented with bouquets of flowers by their grateful students.

 

The audience and performers then moved to the social part of the event where they chatted together while sampling the delicious dishes which had been provided by a large number of the School's students and supporters. As well as the opportunity to meet fellow parents and students, there was the opportunity to try one's luck on the Tombola and to purchase Chinese souvenirs.

 

Everyone had a great time seeing the performances and meeting other supporters of Chinese Language and Culture.

 

The School would like to express its warm thanks to the students who worked so hard to make their performances a success, their teachers who coached and encouraged them so enthusiasticly and students and supporters who contributed so generously in setting up the venue, providing the delicious dishes, providing prizes for the Tombola, clearing up at the end and generally making the event the success it

undoubtedly was. Particular thanks to 李美群 and Lily Cayless for running the Tombola so that there were no disatisfied punters.

 

The Tombola raised £103.51, and the souvenirs £71.50 for School funds.

 

DCSA wishes everyone 恭喜发财

 

 

 

Hertfordshire Award

Some good news! Dacorum Chinese School has been award a Silver award on 2nd Feb at the Celebration and Recognition Event for Complementary and Supplementary Schools in Hertfordshire at the County Hall, for running the school for over 10 years. Our school's success over these 12 years has been down to the continuous support and help from our volunteers. For photos see here

 

School Fees Increase

Due to rising operational costs and a decrease in funding, the school has decided it is necessary to increase the student tuition fees in order to maintain the high standards of the teaching and the operation of the school. All classes will rise by £1 per two hour session as follows: standard children's classes £4, GCSE and A level classes £6 and adult classes £6.

 

 

LOOKING FOR A NEW SITE

Due to our success, we are starting to out grow our current site at the Heights Community Hall, Highfield.
