“වප් මංගලය” marks the start of the Maha season and signifies an essential step in readying the land for cultivation, deeply embedded in Sri Lanka’s agricultural heritage. This traditional celebration highlights the significance of well-prepared paddy fields, a testament to the country’s farming roots and timeless values.
At Lyceum International School Kurunegala, we take pride in connecting our students with the vibrant tapestry of Sri Lankan culture. වප් මංගලය, the Festival of Ploughing, epitomized our commitment to fostering a well-rounded education that goes beyond classrooms. The ceremony, conducted at the Lyceum Fulfillment Centre, brought to life a symphony of tradition amidst the picturesque expanse of our serene paddy fields. Our students experienced hands-on learning surrounded by lush greenery and a refreshing breeze—a truly unforgettable setting shared with whole school community.
This unique opportunity offered a dynamic learning environment that not only imparts knowledge of cultural traditions but also hones vital 21st-century skills. The immersive experience encouraged teamwork, creativity, critical thinking, and environmental awareness. We believe such initiatives are crucial for developing well-rounded students equipped to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
By participating in this meaningful ceremony, our students not only gain a profound understanding of our cultural heritage but also create joyful, lasting memories. At Lyceum, we strive to provide transformative educational experiences that foster self-assured, imaginative, and empathetic citizens who are prepared to make a positive impact on society.
Our emphasis on experiential learning is designed to cultivate a lifelong appreciation for tradition, innovation, and global perspectives. We consider it a privilege to offer our students the chance to grow and flourish in such a nurturing and culturally enriching environment, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
