The auspicious festival of Vijayadasami holds great significance in Indian tradition as it marks the victory of good over evil and is considered the most sacred day to begin new ventures or learning.
At Vaels International School – Nursery & Primary, Neelankarai, this day was celebrated with reverence through the traditional Aksharabhyasam ceremony, where our youngest learners took their first steps into the world of education.
The event began with a pooja dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the embodiment of knowledge, wisdom, and learning. Parents joined their children in offering prayers and seeking the Goddess’s blessings for a bright and successful academic journey ahead. The serene atmosphere, filled with chants and devotion, made the morning truly divine.
Guided by our teachers, each child participated in the Aksharabhyasam ritual—writing their first letters on a plate of rice or slate, symbolizing the start of their educational journey. Parents beamed with pride as they watched their little ones begin this important chapter of life with enthusiasm and curiosity.
At Vaels, we believe in nurturing every child’s intellectual, emotional, and cultural development. The Aksharabhyasam celebration is more than a ritual—it’s a reflection of how our school integrates values and modern education, ensuring a well-rounded foundation for young learners.
The day concluded with joyful smiles, group photos, and heartfelt moments shared between teachers, parents, and students. The entire campus radiated positivity, symbolizing the perfect beginning to a lifelong journey of learning and discovery.
At Vaels International School – Nursery & Primary, Neelankarai, we take pride in blending academic excellence with cultural roots. Events like Vijayadasami Aksharabhyasam help us instill respect for tradition while nurturing a spirit of curiosity and confidence in our young learners.
