20 Dashain, Tihar and Chhath post ideas for your school’s page

Why should a principal care about festival posts?

During the festive season of Dashain and Tihar, schools close for weeks. Your campus goes quiet, the buses stop running, and the classrooms are empty. But this is exactly when parents are scrolling through Facebook and WhatsApp the most.

If your school's Facebook page goes completely silent during the biggest festivals in Nepal, you are missing a massive opportunity to connect with your community. A simple "Happy Dashain" post reminds parents that the school is a community that cares, not just a place where they pay fees. It keeps your school's name fresh in their minds.

The problem? You are busy. Your staff is busy. Nobody has the time to sit down and write a nice caption, let alone design a poster. That's why we built school@web—a ready-made school website for just Rs. 10,000 a year that automatically generates festival greeting posts with your school's name. Check out the school website price in Nepal to learn more.

But if you want to do it yourself, we have done the hard work for you. Here are 20 complete post ideas, complete with captions in both English and Nepali, that you can simply copy and paste.
