Our Pongal celebration is a true manifestation of rich culture and traditions. The need for worshipping the Sun, the cattle, and the science behind the celebration is discussed with the students. Pongal is not merely a celebration but a feeling of being a part of nature.
With the objective of creating awareness and educating students about the importance and consumption of fruits in their regular diet, the RAFL Twinkling Stars celebrate Fruits Day in the month of July. The occasion is used to teach students the health benefits of fruits – one of Mother Nature’s most amazing foods. The tiny tots also learn more about the taste, smell, color, and texture of each fruit. Students clearly understand the importance of washing the fruits before eating or cooking and the benefits of consuming fresh fruits. Our students are encouraged to bring only fruits and nuts for their morning break, helping them remain energetic throughout the day. On birthdays, students distribute groundnut burfi, homemade sweets, nuts, or palm sugar candy, showcasing how health-conscious our students are.
Colours mean different things to different people, but overall, colours are worth celebrating. That is why we have a day set aside for Colours Day celebration. Students glow in various hues and tints, enjoying a memorable learning experience through engaging in painting, craft, and collage activities in a lively, vibrant, and high-spirited environment.
We pride ourselves with a schedule that sets the kids on a rhythmic path of learning. A special event like ‘Fun day’ accommodates hands-on and engaging activities that help kids learn many important kindergarten skills such as tenacity, imagination and logic. They learn the rules and routines of the classroom through investigation and exploration. They gain the focus and skills needed for higher classes through non-competitive, fun filled outdoor games which leave them happy, confident and well-prepared for the next step in their education.
Janmashtami is celebrated as a symbol of the end of darkness and rooting out of evil forces. Pre primary students are dressed in ethnic wear as Radha and Krishna and perform dances and skits to truly communicate the message that "Every moment of life is worth a celebration. The more you praise and celebrate life, the more there is in life to celebrate."
Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with oneself, the world and nature. We encourage students to practise regular yoga, an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition to remain fit and improve concentration. As it is one of our Extracurricular Activities, students get the chance to participate in competitions also.
To encourage general awareness and action for the environment students celebrate World Environment Day on 5th June. Students conduct tree planting campaigns, art from waste exhibits, recycling initiatives, waste reduction initiatives, awareness rallies etc. It is a day for doing something positive – an earnest collaborative effort is made by the teachers and students to infuse a renewed support for environmental conservation along with other environmental concerns. The need for waste management is explained and the collection and segregation of waste are initiated from that day.
Van Mahotsav is an annual tree planting movement in India, which initially began in 1950 to honour and paying respect to the mighty creators and the lungs of Mother Earth. It is celebrated in almost all parts of India, usually beginning between 1st July and 7th July. The festival raises awareness about trees among people and highlights the need for planting and tending trees as one of the best ways to prevent global warming and reduce pollution. Our students celebrate Van Mahotsav vibrantly to highlight the importance of trees and nature in our lives. On and off the campus awareness programmes are organised. They sing songs dedicated to the beauty and significance of trees and play skits that emphasize the need for conservation and encourage everyone to plant more trees. They commit themselves and urge others to preserve nature and contribute to a greener and healthier world.
Sports Day is a typical event dedicated to all the four houses – Chera, Chola, Pandiya and Pallava . A well co-ordinated march-past of all the four houses is a treat for our eyes every year. Sports events are conducted and the winners are awarded by the Chief Guest. We not only note individual achievements but also give equal importance to the overall championship of houses to foster team spirit. This event has its own importance as it is a special juncture where a profound connection between the students and teachers bloom to make their house flag fly high. This leaves an everlasting impression in the minds of students even after they complete their schooling.
Once the election for the Head Boy, Head Girl, Associates and Prefects are conducted; the campus gets ready for a vibrant celebration. The Investiture Ceremony is one of the most important ceremonies of our school. It is a platform to showcase the leadership skills and abilities of our students. Year after year, it reminds us of the trust and confidence that we repose in our newly elected cabinet. They all pledge to dispense their duties to the best of their abilities and abide by rules and regulations of the school. Not mere words but through actions our elected members play their role responsibly, participating in the various activities and the events of the school.

Through skit, dance and music, our students depict the life of the legend from childhood through the various stages of life . It is an expression of creativity and imagination portrayed by the students. We celebrate this day with great zest and enthusiasm.
Textbooks pave way for learning yet that alone can’t aid the students to achieve their goals. BEYOND THE BOOK learning happens through the project presentations every year in the month of August. All the students of grades 6-9 explore a lot and bring out the best during the two day celebration of RAFL Infospark. Parents, visitors from other schools and the public have always encouraged the efforts taken.
