Dixen’s First Step into Primary School

Beginning primary school is one of the most important milestones in a child’s life. It marks the start of structured learning, new friendships, growing independence, and the foundation upon which future dreams are built.

For Dixen, this milestone carries even deeper meaning.

Dixen has been living at Sivan Arul Children’s Home for the past 18 months. During this time, he has grown in a stable and nurturing environment where care, encouragement, and early learning support are part of everyday life. With the guidance of our caregivers and teachers, he successfully completed his nursery education and has now proudly begun Grade One at Gowri Ambal School.

Starting primary school is more than entering a classroom. It requires confidence, emotional readiness, and the reassurance that someone believes in you. For children in residential care, this sense of stability makes all the difference.

At Sivan Arul, we believe that early education is not just about academics — it is about building resilience, curiosity, and self-belief. When children are supported consistently, they transition into formal schooling with strength and optimism.

Dixen’s first day in Grade One is a reminder of what stable care can achieve. It reflects the power of encouragement, structured learning, and a community committed to helping children move forward with confidence.

We are incredibly proud of Dixen and look forward to watching him learn, grow, and thrive in this new chapter of his journey.
