To celebrate the spirit of Diwali, Apeejay School on Tanda Road organised a lively Rangoli Making Activity and Competition. The activity engaged students from pre-nursery to class VIII. The activity not only brightened the school campus but also showcased the students’ creativity.

The intricate designs reflected their originality and precision. They were not limited to traditional patterns alone but also contemporary motifs. Each rangoli had a unique story to tell through its colours and details.

This competition gave me a sense of accomplishment and instilled self-confidence.”

Sharing a similar sentiment, Janvi Sharma, a student of class VIII, explained that the activity was a challenging competition. “It was tough to pick out the best design and work on it. Working within a time limit and space, encouraged me to manage my resources in the best possible way. This competition helped us to connect with Indian culture and traditions,” she shared.

The competition was amiable and full of creative spirit, giving students a need to push themselves as they created beautiful masterpieces. As the students worked together and shared ideas they learnt from each other. This brought teamwork and community spirit to life.
