Cookies, Culture & Connection: Hari Raya Haji Walnut Crumble Cookies Baking Session

Thirteen families gathered to bake walnut crumble cookies, bond over shared traditions, and celebrate the spirit of Hari Raya Haji together.

On Saturday morning, 17 May 2025, the school kitchen filled with delightful aromas during our Hari Raya Haji Walnut Crumble Cookies Baking Session. From 9am to 12pm, families came together for this special event jointly organized by our PSG Committee and PSG Exco team.

Thirteen families participated, with many new faces joining our Canberran community for the first time. The session buzzed with laughter and teamwork as parents and children bonded over cookie dough. As golden cookies emerged from the ovens, families who had never met before began chatting and connecting, transforming the kitchen into a warm community space.

Beyond the baking fun, the session honored the spirit of Hari Raya Haji while promoting multicultural understanding within our Canberran community. It was wonderful to see family bonds strengthen and new friendships form over shared activities.

The event concluded with a delicious lunch and smiles all around. A special thank you to our Nutrition and Food Science Department for their invaluable support in making this memorable event possible!
