🌟 A Joyful Start to the New School Year 🌟

On Saturday 20 September 2025, we warmly welcomed students, parents, guardians and grandparents back to the CCACIC Hackney Chinese Community School. The energy was electric as our amazing learners shared stories from their summer break, reunited with old friends, and embraced new classmates with open hearts.

Across our Playgroup, Children’s Classes and Adult Classes, everyone received an exciting overview of this year’s Cantonese & Mandarin syllabus—setting the tone for a year of meaningful learning and cultural connection.

🎉 A special highlight: our Foundation Mandarin students celebrated Ren Hao’s birthday with joy and laughter, singing “Happy Birthday” in Chinese! It was a beautiful moment of friendship, encouragement, and shared progress on the Chinese language journey.

🙏 We extend heartfelt thanks to our dedicated volunteer teachers, whose passion and commitment make our school a thriving community.

🌸 Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at the CCACIC London Hackney Chinese Community Sch 🌸

Today, we celebrated the incredible contributions of women in our lives and society. As part of the celebration, our students engaged in a meaningful activity: they learnt to craft beautiful paper flowers to honour the inspiring female figures in their lives. 💐

In addition, our students practised saying 'Happy International Women’s Day' in both: Cantonese 婦女節快樂 and Mandarin 妇女节快乐 , embracing the richness of language and culture. ✨

Through these activities, we also explored the significance of International Women’s Day, highlighting themes of equality, empowerment, and the ongoing journey towards a more inclusive world.

Let us continue to recognize and appreciate the remarkable achievements of women everywhere, while encouraging the next generation to advocate for positive change.

Together, we create a brighter future! ✨💪
