The bustling and throbbing drum beats of Lion dance fill the air during the Mid – Autumn Festival. At IPS, the atmosphere of “Full moon season” has become not only lively and joyful but also sweet and cozy on the reunion day.
On 9th September 2022, teachers told their students about some fascinating stories with fairy characters and students were excited to learn the tradition of Lantern parade and how to decorate traditional trays on the Mid-Autumn.

The ambience in the schoolyard became more animated since students saw harmonious combination of members of the Lion dance team with a humorous gesture followed the drum beat and fluctuating rhythm. Ong Dia, who had a gentle smile on his belly and an energetic interaction with students, made the most precious and memorable moment for students in this full moon season.
