Stanley College hospitality students welcomed the Year of the Monkey by hosting a delicious buffet to celebrate Chinese New Year! This fun and festive celebration was held at our James Street Campus where our students were served with a variety of Chinese cuisine such as garlic prawns, steamed fish, braised tofu, and a traditonal dessert of red date and jelly. Our students had the opportunity to experience the joy of the Chinese culture.
