A visiting delegation from Jiangmen city, Guadong Province, China has visited Chung Wah school over the weekend for a brief cultural exchange and handing over ceremony.
Representatives of the Chinese Association in the Solomon Islands, along with the School administration, were present to welcome the delegation.
School Principal Eunice Tahuniara said that the visit was also to showcase the country’s only Chinese school.
“We invited them specially to come in through cultural exchange just to speak to each other and see what is happening around because this is the only Chinese school and they should see what is in here,” Tahuniara said.
To ensure the delegation experienced the country’s cultural heritage, Year 2 and Year 5 students performed colorful contemporary dances.
The delegation also viewed displays of traditional crafts and artifacts, as well as toured the school’s original classrooms, new buildings, and upcoming projects.
The program concluded with the presentation of new desktops, tablets, shirts, and school bags to the school administration.
“On behalf of the school board, the teachers and students of Chung Wah School we want to thank the delegation for coming. Thank you for the gifts that shows the relationship is maintained and build up not only here but with other organizations,” Tahuniara added.
The visiting delegation also attended the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the 5th anniversary of China- Solomon Islands Diplomatic Relations at the Pacific Crown Hotel last Friday.
