The Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival, reminder of the historic Saint Martin, is always a highlight in the school’s calendar in November. The parents of U6 tinker for days in advance on their children’s lanterns.

The St Martin play, the songs and also the parade, everything is practiced beforehand. Douglas Vale’s drama group of students from grades 1 to 5 led the scene in the forum, the musical accompaniment composed by Ruben Viertel and the song, St Martin, sung by grade 5. Then there was the traditional procession with lanterns to Riverside.The guests enjoyed the atmosphere with lantern light, beer and sausages till late in the evening. For many visitors it was perhaps also a piece of European home in the south of Vietnam.
