SYMBOL
The founding year of Pelkhil School was 2010, the year of the Tiger so it was natural to adopt the tiger as the school’s symbol and mascot. But beyond this happenstance, the tiger symbolizes many good qualities that people aspire to for themselves. Across cultures, the tiger is known to symbolize harmony, beauty, power, justice, strength, courage, determination, resolve, resilience….the list is quite long. As a school Pelkhil takes its responsibility of raising upstanding citizens seriously and what better way to start than to adopt this magnificent symbol as its mascot!
