ST. GORETTI SCHOOL ONAM CELEBRATIONS
The rich cultural heritage of Kerala comes out in its best form and spirit during the ten day long festival, Onam. It is indeed a treat to be a part of the grand carnival. People of Kerala make elaborate preparations to celebrate it in the best possible manner. They make intricately designed flower designs called ‘Pookkalam’ in the front courtyards of their houses to welcome King Mahabali. Our students also designed wonderful flower carpets in front of the school. A class-wise ‘Pookkalam competition’ was also conducted.
The most impressive part of the Onam celebration is the grand feast called ‘Onasadya’. The staff members of our school arranged a sumptuous ‘Onasadya’. ‘Onappattu’ , the traditional songs of Onam, Kaikottikali, a traditional graceful dance, short comedy skits, etc. were performed by our students in connection with the Onam celebrations. Traditional games like Vadamvali & Uriyadi added to the zest of the celebrations. “Payasam” was distributed to all the students.
