On Tuesday 17 September, we had the pleasure of welcoming JAGS parents to the Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncakes & Tea Reception held at JAGS for the first time.   The event was brought together by JAGS parents Xiaoxi Chen and Wenyan Gao who hosted the gathering along with the Development & Alumnae Relations team to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival.   

Guests were treated to a wonderful presentation by Wenyan about the history and importance of the harvest festival in Chinese culture.   As one of the biggest holidays in Chinese culture, it's rich history dates back 3,000 years.  Wenyan also spoke about the tradition of serving mooncakes and tea with a variety of mooncakes and incredible green, black and oolong teas available for guests to enjoy.  

It was a truly special occasion with Holst Hall filled with smiles and chatter and a wonderful opportunity for parents to connect.
