Chinese students at Shannon College celebrated the New Year this month at the student campus in Bunratty. 2010 marks the year of the Tiger. The Tiger is the third sign in the cycle of Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs. It is a sign of courage. This fearless and fiery fighter is revered by the ancient Chinese as the sign that wards off the three main disasters of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts.

Best wishes from all at Shannon College to our Chinese students and Chinese partners!
