A LUCKY dragon at Ringwood Waldorf School survived his encounter with St George before an audience of pupils and parents.
Pupils at the independent Steiner school were performing the classic story of St George and the Dragon, but in their version the ferocious beast is merely tamed not killed.
The dramatisation of this English legend wass part of the school’s Michaelmas assembly held on September 29, an annual tradition for class three.
The special assembly also featured pupils from other year groups singing or reciting poetry, with harvest gifts offered including breads, fruits and nuts.
School spokesman Christine Polyblank said: “Michaelmas is an ancient festival, which thanks the sun for the harvest and welcomes St Michael to help us face the cold and dark winter months ahead.
“Here at school it’s a rousing event where we invite parents to help us celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.”
The event raised £120 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
