Investiture ceremony

Character is more important than intellect, said Capt.Rohit Bajaj, Principal, on the occasion of the Investiture ceremony of the Senior School, which happened last week.   He called upon the students of the new prefectural board to make the right choices so that they could become role models and navigators of a corrupt free society.

The ceremony started with a hymn eulogizing team spirit, followed by a prayer by the Principal.   Next came the handing over of the school flag by Azaan Ali and Ramya Baddam, the Head Boy and Girl, respectively, to their successors, Srimukh Oddiraju and Palashika Bhatt.

Azaan Ali spoke on the occasion about leadership and said that being a leader was not about the position held by the leader, but the kind of relationship he established with others while Ramya Gaddam spoke of how being Head Girl had developed confidence in her.

The new body of prefect council also received their appointment letters and badges by the Principal. The newly elected members of the student council took the oath administered by the Principal declaring to abide by the creed of their Alma mater and fulfilling their duties according to their respective portfolios.

Parents of the newly elected student council were invited to be a part of this event. One could see the pride writ large on their faces as they witnessed their children walking up the stage and donning their new roles as leaders of the school.  

Finally, the National Anthem brought down the curtain on the Investiture ceremony which is one of the defining moments in a student’s life.
