Report on Investiture Ceremony in School

 

 

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

 

 

Introduction:

An Investiture Ceremony/ Felicitation Ceremony was held in the school on Saturday. During this, along with cultural performances by senior school, school responsibilities were entrusted to the students. The Investiture Ceremony was conducted by handing of the badges and the sashes to the newly appointed Prefectorial Body with pomp and show. The Investiture Ceremony was presided over by the School Chairperson, School Principal, Administrator, Vice-Principal, Teachers and Parents of the Students’ Council.

 

As a tradition, the school invests the Students' Council, constituted after undergoing a thorough procedure of selection and election, with their responsibilities on Republic Day. These are the leaders nurtured by the school through the years. The Class Teachers & School Election Committee checks, tests and questions the eligibility criteria of the candidates set by the school. Various rounds of selection take place. And the final list of Student Council is displayed for the school students. These selected Council candidates do canvass for themselves and propose their vision for their school. All the students and teachers of the school vote in the democratic way. This Investiture Ceremony in School is a miniature form of country’s democratic election process.

“I have three precious things, which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.” – Lao Tsu, Chinese philosopher
