'My children have thoroughly enjoyed preparing for and presenting these traditional Chinese art forms. The dragon dance, fan dance, Guanyin dance, and Chinese drums were especially impressive.
Thank you for giving our family the opportunity to feel the excitement of the New Year season and learn more about this rich culture.'
Parents of student in Year 1
'Our daughter’s form teacher is an outstanding teacher who is constantly encouraging and supportive, while acknowledging the need to push her ability. She is a credit to the school and is such a positive influence on her education - so much so that our daughter has a will to learn, loves going to Britannica and being in her class.'
'We spent time at the recent Parent-teacher meeting with our daughter’s Mandarin teacher, discussing our desire for her to be equally fluent in English and Chinese given the importance of China and the evolving world status. She was incredibly knowledgeable and aware of our daughter’s current status, providing the advice and encouragement we need to ensure our daughter has the best opportunity to achieve this.'
'It was an extremely positive and encouraging to spend time talking with Britannica staff at the recent Parent-Teacher meetings, across academic, languages, the arts and sport - all areas our family greatly value. We were extremely impressed with every one of these teachers. Their passion, compassion, consideration and way in which they engaged with us as parents was exemplary and reassured us that our daughter is in the best of hands.'
