Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, Friday 21 September

The Westwood boarding family came together to enjoy an authentic Chinese meal to coincide with the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival which according to https://www.chinahighlights.com/festivals/mid-autumn-festival-date.htm is mid-through the Third Season in the Chinese Calendar. The third lunar season "autumn" is months 7–9.As the four seasons each have three (29 or 30 day) months on China's traditional calendars, day 15 of month 8 is "the middle of autumn".

 All the boarders and Westwood resident families plus prefects came together to enjoy a delicious meal with mountains of prawn crackers, rice, sweet and sour chicken and a vegetable dish. Dessert was less authentic and did not come from the East, but from the cows in Marshfield whose milk is turned into wonderful ice cream!

 We feel as a globally diverse house that it is important to experience the culture of different nations

The food gave some boarders wings!

 Friday Night feeling!

 Monica gives it the thumbs up!

 Smiley Westwood boarders!

Chopstick abuse, Charlotte!

Many thanks to the Catering team at Kingswood for producing such a delicious repaste!
