TLGC Celebrates International Culture Week

The school recently held its International Culture Week to celebrate diversity and cultural identities. Co-organised by the English Society, the Chinese, History, Music, and Visual Arts departments, the four-day programme provided students with a wide range of cross-cultural experiences.

The event commenced with a focus on European heritage, featuring classical art showcases, stained-glass craft workshops, and language games. On the second day, activities highlighted the traditions of South and Southeast Asia, where students participated in Henna and Rangoli art sessions, sampled traditional sweets, viewed regional attire, and attended a Nepalese dance performance. The third day centred on English-speaking nations, offering idiom challenges, tongue twisters, and craft sessions focusing on Aboriginal dot painting and dreamcatchers. The week then concluded with a comprehensive celebration of Chinese culture. This final day featured mask-painting workshops, a cheongsam exhibition organised in partnership with the Chinese Cheongsam Association, a performance by the Chinese Orchestra, and traditional tanghulu treats.

Overall, the event offered students an engaging way to explore different global traditions and cultures.
