The Most Popular Dragon Boat Festival in Dalton

Last week Shenzhen Xinhua School had an unique way to celebrate children’s day. "Happiness" was the main Chinese elements all over the campus, running a "temple fair" can help others to experience the Chinese folk customs culture without going to a "dragon boat race" knowledge quiz event!

The Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are a time of competition and collaboration for Dalton junior school students to discuss history, geography, Taoism and Chinese language together, as well as a traditional cultural knowledge development activity jointly planned and organized by the Junior School Integrated Arts Group and Chinese Group.




The Third Chinese Traditional Culture Knowledge Competition was held in the theatre on June 2. The moments that best exemplify Dalton's spirit of freedom and cooperation are truly ubiquitous.

In the theatre, the "Dragon Boat Racing; Ride the Storm" is the most eye-catching scene on stage, with several boats in a row, and is the most unusual form of points presentation for this competition.

Children’s Day celebrated together with Dalton International and Dragon Boat Festival are much more than just a carnival.

Each festival for Dalton students is as unique, creative and beautiful as each student is.

Dalton's teachers, on the other hand, are overjoyed to see their students happy, cooperative, having shared social experience.

We hope that the innovative Dalton spirit will be present in your schools and hearts as it was more than one hundred years ago.
