After an engaging campaign period and an enthusiastic election process, the Student Council members were officially recognized in a grand investiture ceremony.
The event commenced with the much-anticipated announcement of the elected members, after which our Principal, Ms. Padmini Sambasivam, conferred badges upon the young leaders, symbolizing their commitment to upholding the values of integrity, teamwork, and service. She then led the students in a solemn oath-taking ceremony, where each member pledged to lead with dedication, fairness, and a deep sense of responsibility toward their fellow students.
Adding to the significance of the event, our newly elected Student Council leaders took the stage to share their thoughts on leadership, speaking passionately about the values of responsibility, collaboration, and perseverance. Their words resonated with their peers, setting an inspiring tone for their term ahead.
Our Student Council Heads, along with the House Captains, Vice Captains and Secretaries, stepped forward with confidence, ready to take on their roles as mentors, problem-solvers, and ambassadors of student aspirations. The ceremony concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks, reinforcing the idea that leadership is not just about titles but about making a meaningful difference in the school community.
