INVESTITURE CEREMONY

Prefects’ Council election was organized in Orchids-The International School on 27.6.14 in a truly democratic spirit. For more than a week the contestants for the appointments of Head Girl, Head Boy and House Captains for the four Houses of the school gave election speeches in the morning assembly to impress the voters. Their speeches were effective, promising and assertive. Their supporters canvassed for them in earnest and it was very difficult to guess the winners. Ballot boxes, ballot papers and eager voters made an eventful day. Votes were counted on the same day and the results were announced on 30.6.14.  
 Both Senior and Junior wings have their Head Boy and Head Girl. Besides, the four Houses have their House Captain and Vice-Captain to lead their Houses both at Senior and Junior levels. The nominated posts of Sports Captain and Discipline Captain focus on their areas.
The eventful day of the Investiture Ceremony was organized on 12.7.14. Principal, Mr. C. Srikanth extended a formal welcome to the gathering introducing the Chief Guest Mr. V. Sreenivasa Rao, Inspector of Police, Madhapur. The school choir sang the School Song asserting their pride to be Orchidians.
The Chief Guest conferred Appointments on the young leaders by bestowing on them emblems of leadership. The elected prefects were invested with their posts formally to lead the events of the academic year. In his speech the Chief Guest enumerated leadership qualities and advised the Prefects’ Council to bring out the best in their teams while learning to lead.
The tenth class teachers who taught the last year batch were sent certificates of appreciation by the HRD Ministry, the Govt. of India. It was a memorable moment when the teachers received the certificates from the Chief Guest.

The day of the Investiture Ceremony 2014 remains significant and encouraging.
