The Brentwood Blog is written by current Brentwood students in Grades 11 and 12. Throughout the year, the blog allows readers to get a feel for life on our campus through the eyes of our students. We look forward to your feedback (blog@brentwood.bc.ca)
While most of the Western world passed into the New Year on January 1st, their Eastern counterparts have only just rolled to the cusp of the transition. Because the Chinese calendar follows the delicate phases of the moon, this year’s Chinese New Year occured on Sunday January 23rd – the Year of the Dragon.
