Investiture ceremony

Orchids – The International School has a tradition of conducting elections for the various appointments of the Prefects’ Council.  As per practice, once the dates were announced, the nominated students rendered speeches during the morning assembly to acquaint the other students about their capabilities and the need to vote for them.

Elections were subsequently held; all the students of Classes VI – X were very enthusiastic and particular about casting their votes for the Head Boy, Head Girl, Captains and Vice – captains of the four houses – Carnation, Daffodil, Marigold and Tulip. Niranjan Muralidharan and Deeksha Pandey were declared the Head Boy and Head Girl respectively of the senior section.  Nikhil and Khadija Khan were declared the Head Boy and Head Girl for the primary section. To emphasise the importance of discipline and to inculcate the spirit of sportsmanship, two students from the Class X were also declared for the posts ‘Sports Captain’ and ‘Discipline In charge’. 

The Investiture ceremony was held on 13/7/ 2013 in the school campus. The Chief Guest of  the occasion was Mr. Musa Bin Ibrahim, Additional Commandant, Special Police, Amberpet. In her welcome address, the Principal Ms. Mona Mehdi stressed on the importance of ‘grooming’ children as leaders from the school level itself. The Chief Guest Mr. Musa Bin Ibrahim gave an inspiring speech; he described the relevance of responsibility and being human as important qualities of any leader. 

It was altogether a very solemn and engrossing programme where all the office bearers were invested with their badges in the presence of their proud parents and friends. This is also their first step towards working with responsibility and keeping in mind the school’s motto – Learning to Lead.
