Charis Lunar New Year Celebration was held at Charis Upper Gym on Jan 24, 2023, and was attended by parents from Kindergarten, Primary School, Junior, and Senior High School. After the pandemic, Charis celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year for the first time. This celebration was held to preserve the culture of Tionghoa and introduce it to students. Students had the chance to view a variety of Chinese artworks, including dance, martial arts, and musical arts, in addition to sharing happiness at school.
The celebration began with a bird dance performed by Annabel Caitlyn Sembodo and Zephania Tatiana Chrystalis Riri. Another talented student, Prabu Ranggi Branjangan, performed wushu. Charis also invited other parties to participate in the celebration. To introduce students to Chinese traditional music, a guzheng performance was held. The appearance of Barongsai from the South Lion Dance group also became the most anticipated performance. They presented a captivating attraction. The students had the chance to express their gratitude by giving angpao for the Barongsai.
The vice director of Charis, teacher Maria Santoso, hoped that more students would participate in the celebration the following year and make it more exciting. Quizzes from MCs ended the celebration, and students who answered correctly received the angpao. The best costume award was also presented to Angella Valencya Djapri from 1A.(F)
