தைப்பொங்கல்
our Sec 1 Tamil students embarked on a learning journey to the Pongal Heritage Walk @ Campbell Lane, in conjunction with the Pongal Festival. Pongal Festival is a harvest festival to give thanks to Nature for the abundance of good harvest.
The Pongal Heritage Walk aims to create awareness of the important rituals associated with the festival and at the same time deepen our students appreciation for the Indian tradition and culture.
