Vaels Fete “By The Beach” – A Celebration of Joy, Unity, and Responsibility
The Vaels Fete “By The Beach” was a grand and joyful celebration organized to bring together students, teachers, parents, and the wider community for a fun-filled day. Held on the 31st of August at Vaels International School, one of the leading international schools in Neelankarai, the event welcomed not only Vaels students but also enthusiastic participants from neighboring schools, including other prominent ICGSE schools in Neelankarai and international schools in Injambakkam. The Fete was inaugurated at 9 AM by the school principal, Dr. Sujatha, marking the beginning of a vibrant and memorable day.
The event featured a wide array of engaging activities and attractions. Game stalls like shooting, bottle toss, and mini basketball kept the energy high, while material stalls offered fun goodies for students and parents alike. A massive bouncy castle entertained the younger crowd, and a lively DJ session created a festive mood throughout the campus. One of the major highlights was the variety of food stalls, offering delicious cuisine from around the world, including Indian, Chinese, and Italian. These stalls were especially popular with families and added a flavorful touch to the festivities.
The involvement of students from other international schools in Injambakkam and Neelankarai created a dynamic and collaborative atmosphere. The feedback from visiting parents was overwhelmingly positive. One parent remarked, “Everything was neat and clean and all the kids are disciplined. They are very good and they stick with their classes. I’m delighted to be here.” This reflects how students showcased responsibility and maturity during the event. They followed their schedules, respected their environment, and demonstrated the LIM Habit 1: Be Proactive — taking initiative and setting a positive example for others by maintaining cleanliness and order throughout the day.
Beyond the fun and entertainment, the Fete also carried a deeper purpose. A portion of the proceeds from the event was donated to charitable causes, adding a meaningful dimension to the celebration. It was a clear reminder that joy and generosity can go hand in hand. The event was a tremendous success, meeting its goal of providing a delightful weekend experience while encouraging positive habits and community spirit. The school management extended heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers, sponsors, and participating families who made the day so memorable.
Vaels International School continues to set a benchmark among international schools in Neelankarai and ICGSE schools in Neelankarai, offering not only world-class education but also opportunities for students to grow into socially responsible and proactive individuals. Events like the Vaels Fete are a testament to the school’s commitment to holistic development and community engagement.
