Good ideas are not espoused automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous impatience. To infuse and ingrain a sense of accountability, commitment and competence amongst the young blooming leaders, the Middle School Investiture Ceremony for the academic session 2022-23 was held in a pompous way on Sunday, 8th May 2022, at Fahaheel Al-Watanieh Indian Private School, Kuwait in the School Multi-Purpose Hall with high degree of vehemence, impetuosity and ardor.
The grandiose ceremony commenced with a recital of the Holy Quran and its translation, followed by the welcome speech by the Principal Mr. Ravi Ayanoli. Addressing the gathering, he congratulated the Prefectorial Body and urged them to be responsible by citing the ancient adage, ‘With great power comes great responsibility’. Reiterating the importance of time management, he also asked them to use these opportunities and balance them well with academics to excel in both.
March by all the prefects was a spectacular sight that set the solemnity of the event. The newly appointed office bearers were marched in synchronization with the dynamic beat of drumbeat rolls to the stage. The determination on their faces with heads held high, added grandeur to the event. The Principal pinned the badges and sashes to the students’ council enabling the young shoulders to wield responsibility. A spirit of unity and dynamism filled the air as the auspicious ceremony further moved on to the oath taking of the students’ council administered by the Principal. The zestful leaders with an unswerving sense of responsibility swore in by taking the oath of office. The ceremony was attended by all Grade VIII students.
Pearl D’Souza and Arnav Rai of Class 8 led the student council as the designated Head Girl and Head Boy respectively. Both of them affirmed their missions in their speeches and pledged to keep the flag of the school soaring high with the Almighty's blessings.
Finally, the memorable occasion came to its last segment with the vote of thanks proposed by the Middle School Senior Mistress, Ms Deepa Elizabeth. Extending profound gratitude to everyone for making the program so fabulous, she exhorted the new leaders, “If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, and then you are an excellent leader.” The momentous ceremony culminated with the Indian National Anthem.
