Chinese Culture

Chinese Culture is an important part of Benenden’s co-curricular activities programme. We provide a rich and exciting programme focused on deepening our students' understanding and appreciation of Chinese. We offer a wide range of cultural experiences such as, local customs, social values, linguistic activities, origami, Chinese dance, creative writing, traditional costume culture and debate. All Chinese culture programmes are organised around an annual calendar of formal events such as the Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. We aim to instill positive Chinese values and character traits in our students from the beginning to support their learning journey. Our programme will aid our students in understanding Chinese culture and engaging positively with it.
