This year, Tihar celebration entered our school grounds with great enthusiasm, bringing together students, teachers, and staff for a colorful program that honored this beautiful Nepali festival. The entire school was filled with festive energy as students and faculty participated in a range of traditional activities, learning more about the significance of Tihar while showcasing their talents.
The celebration kicked off with a spirited Rangoli competition, where students created vibrant designs using colored powders, petals, and diyas. The creativity and artistry displayed in the Rangoli designs reflected the dedication of our students and added a touch of traditional beauty to the school grounds. This activity was not only a competition but also a chance for students to collaborate and bond while celebrating cultural heritage.
Following the Rangoli competition, students and teachers joined together to perform traditional Deusi Bhailo songs and dances, dressed in beautiful attire that brightened the atmosphere. The performances were a delightful display of talent, with students singing and dancing enthusiastically, keeping alive the traditions passed down through generations. The rhythm of Deusi Bhailo filled the air, creating a festive environment that everyone enjoyed.
In addition to the activities, the entire school was decorated with lights, flowers, and diyas, capturing the essence of Tihar and making the surroundings look beautiful and welcoming. The decorations were a collective effort from both teachers and students, symbolizing unity and teamwork within our school community.
At Caribbean Secondary School, we believe that celebrating festivals like Tihar is an important part of education, as it fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of Nepali culture and traditions. Events like these offer our students a meaningful experience, where they learn values of unity, teamwork, and creativity. As we look back on this joyful day, we are grateful for the participation of our school community, which made the Tihar celebration a memorable event for everyone involved.
