As the date of Chinese New Year is based on a Lunar Calendar, which is a calendar based on the phases on the moon, it varies each year.
Each of the dates below corresponds to the new moon (black moon) which happens either in January or February.
The Chinese New Year of the Rooster will be on 28 January 2017. It will be year 4715 on the Chinese Calendar.
Until then, it is still the Year of the Monkey which began on 8 February 2016.
Royal School will hold a Chinese New Year Celebration Friday, Jan. 27, from 10.30- 13.00 p.m. at the school.
Our students will learn about Chinese culture and language while celebrating Chinese New Year. There will be singing, dancing, Chinese Yo-Yo, and performances, followed by lunch and raffles.
