Every year, it is customary for the school to hold a Pongal celebration. The aim is to teach our Indian students the background and significance of celebrating the Pongal festival. Items related to Pongal are displayed in the classroom. Competitions related to Pongal are conducted for the students. The students enthusiastically participate in activities such as colouring, making greeting cards, and creating e-Pongal advertisements.
