The school aims to nurture students to be active learners and proficient users of their Mother Tongue Language (MTL). As such we are pleased to organize the Mother Tongue Language Fortnight which is packed with fun-filled MTL learning activities, thus encouraging students to use MTL and appreciate the heritage and culture associated with the language. 

The Cedar MTL Fortnight was held from Monday, 25 March 2024 to Friday, 5 April 2024.

Traditional Indian costumes

Draping a saree can be a fun and meaningful experience for girls, while tying a veshti can be just as enriching for boys, especially as they discover the cultural significance behind these traditional garments.

This hands-on experience for the pupils promotes teamwork, creativity and an appreciation for cultural diversity!

Our P4 Cultural Camp was a vibrant exploration of different cultures, offering students a rich and immersive experience. This year, the camp featured a variety of engaging activities that brought traditions to life. Students had the unique opportunity to learn about diverse cultural practices through hands-on sessions, where they thoroughly enjoyed making murukku and experimenting with intricate henna hand designs.
