A heartfelt congratulations to our alumna, Venkatesan Vidya Laxmi (Class of 2023), on receiving the SPH Media/MDDI Tamil Media Scholarship!

With her passion for the Tamil language continuing beyond her time at RGS, she is set to join Tamil Murasu after completing her degree, where she hopes to contribute to the Tamil media industry through quality journalism and community focused storytelling.

Perhaps most heartwarming was her message to her former Tamil teacher, Mr Uthaman, who sent his well wishes after seeing the news:

“மிக்க நன்றி ஆசிரியர்!! உங்களுடைய பாடங்களால் தமிழ் மீது எனக்கு இருந்த காதல் வளர்ந்தது, அதனால் கிடைத்த உபகாரச் சம்பளம் இது☺️”
“Thank you very much, Teacher! Your lessons deepened my love for Tamil, and this scholarship is a result of that.”

We are so glad to see her love for Tamil continue to grow beyond her time at RGS. 💚🖤🤍
