1 July 2023
Three Josephians won prizes for Tamil short stories and poetry after a national writing programme. See the winners.
Three Josephians have attained awards for their creative works after attending the Naanum Oru Padaippaali Programme 2023 organized by MOE's Tamil Language Unit. The main objective of this programme is to harness the synergy across community partners and agencies to nurture the passion in students for creating local literary works of quality and to ensure a continued pipeline of local writers. A series of workshops for secondary and JC students who were involved in the Budding Writers’ and Budding poets’ competition were conducted to develop the students’ skills on the fundamentals of short story writing and poetry writing.
Upon completion of the workshops this year, the students submitted their creative works to local writers and scriptwriters. Based on the quality and effort of the works submitted by the students, MOE selected all three Josephians’ creative works as winners in their respective categories during the ‘Vetri Vizha’ Prize Presentation Ceremony on 22 July.
