The campus had a display of festive decorations and information flyers and symbolic sweets were distributed. The highlight of the day was a performance of the traditional Lion Dance by the Chinese Youth Society of Melbourne.

It was a celebration that included not only our Chinese students, but also students from other nationalities. Onlookers from the Melbourne CBD also became keen spectators of this colourful tradition.
