Before the National Day holiday, the school conducted real-time broadcast in the morning and afternoon sessions to introduce to our children the various activities held on the National Day. We then played the video of a past national flag-raising ceremony held at Golden Bauhinia Square, with a view to enhancing children’s understanding of the required etiquette when watching the national flag-raising ceremony.

After the National Day holiday, children returned to school and shared with their teachers the activities that they had participated in during the National Day holiday. The school also arranged some teachers to conduct the National Flag Raising Ceremonies separately in the morning and afternoon sessions. Through viewing real-time broadcast, all participating staff members and students paid solemn respect to the national flag in the ceremonies.

In additions, during the “National Day Week”, children were able to take part in various classroom activities and acquire knowledge about traditional Chinese cultures. Through making crafts of Chinese rattle drums and traditional animal hand puppets, as well as doing paper-cutting activity, children learned to appreciate the beauty of Chinese traditional art.

On 30th September, all staff members attended the National Flag Raising Ceremonies in school, with the playing and singing the national anthem. During the morning and afternoon sessions, the principal and teachers explained to the children of their individual classrooms through live broadcast in the school lobby that it was important for all of us to know about the National Day, understanding its significance and the etiquette to be observed. The school established a national security team to help train flag guards formed by our teachers so as to lead the flag raising ceremony. The National Flag Raising Ceremony held on that day was solemn. Most of the children were able to sing the national anthem when it was being played and sung. They also recognize that 1st October was the National Day. Shorting after the ceremony, the Birthday Party that followed enabled children to further learn about the symbols and cultures related to the country through playing small games.

The Flag Raising Ceremony was performed by teachers on 29th September 2022. All students and teachers stood to listen to the national anthem in honor of the national flag and the national anthem. Moreover, teachers introduced "National Day" in theme activities, which gave our students an opportunity to experience traditional Chinese culture and learn about its history, as well as to send our best wishes to our motherland.

Cannan Kindergarten (Riviera Garden) has held a flag-raising ceremony on 30th September, 2022.

The principal has shared the celebrations to mark 73rd National Day and the etiquette of the flag-raising to all the teachers and children before the starting of the ceremony.

Upon hearing the national anthem, all teachers and children stood still, stayed silent and focused as they looked and sang along to the national anthem. Everyone were well disciplined. This ceremony allows children to further deepen their understanding of the importance in respecting the National flag and its etiquette hence bolstering the sense of belonging with the country.

The incorporating of fun and meaningful activities to children can provide greater knowledge and better understanding of Chinese Culture and its famous historical sites and scenic spots.
