On Monday afternoon, to mark the year of the monkey – the Catering team at St Edmund’s Catholic Academy held a Chinese themed lunch for pupils and students, in aid of celebrating Chinese New Year.

On the menu was, egg fried rice, vegetarian stir fry, Thai fish green curry and of course the traditional sweet and sour chicken.

Bunting depicting the Chinese flag was draped across the dining hall and everyone really got into the spirit of celebrating the Chinese culture.

Wendy Hall, Catering Team Leader said:

“Last year we gave students a taste of the Caribbean to celebrate Black History Month and this year we wanted to give students an authentic taste of Asia. We really embrace different cultures here at St Edmund’s and we want students to try all different kinds of foods from around the world.”
