CALGARY — Two CBE schools are celebrating the Chinese New Year with special performances and activities. Media are invited to attend both events.
Marion Carson School and Highwood School are two schools offering the Mandarin Bilingual program. Bilingual programming provides a rich environment for the learning of languages, cultures and subject area content. Bilingual education strives to provide intensive language learning environments, with the potential for high academic achievement and enriched cultural experiences that maximize student opportunities for learning.
K-4 Mandarin Bilingual Program students at Highwood School will welcome the Year of the Rooster with a special Chinese New Year performance at the Jubilee Auditorium.
Media are invited to the celebration or the dress rehearsal, which will include Chinese songs, culture-rich performances, martial arts demonstrations and a traditional lion dance.
