At Vietnam Australia International School, such life values like love, respect, and happiness are always integrated in the lessons to raise students’ awareness in sharing the loving values with not only people in the academic environment but also in their family. This "Warm Mid-Autumn" festival has helped our students experience and lavish their love on society and community and call for people pay more attention to disadvantaged children."
Each participant came with a lantern as an admission ticket. Those beautiful lanterns and all of the other gifts donated at the show would be given to disadvantaged children so that they could celebrate a warm and meaning full-moon night.
