Did you know 2016 is the Chinese Year of the Monkey?

The college is hosting a celebration of Chinese New Year on Saturday 13 February at Les Ozouets from 2pm to 5pm. The island has been benefiting from the teaching skills of two Chinese nationals for the last 18 months and as we forge business links with the region this event will educate us all about the Chinese culture and traditions.
