HERALDING THE NEW LEADERS!!
Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration.
It is rightly said that a leader should work for a cause, not for applause, live life to express and not to impress. He should not strive to make his presence noticed but make his absence felt. Keeping in with the time-honoured tradition of investing honour and rank on the budding leaders, Prudence School, Ashok Vihar held its Investiture Ceremony, Session 2019-20 on 23 August 2019.
With an aim to inculcate the skill of ownership and responsibility amongst students and to deliver the true meaning of democracy with learnings of equality to everyone, a solemn ceremony was organised to celebrate the infallible spirit of leadership!
The ceremony commenced with extending a warm welcome to the esteemed guests by sapling presentation and lighting of ceremonial lamp by most revered and venerable Chairman Sir, Shri G.S. Matharoo, in presence of students, parents, teachers and other dignitaries. Vice Principal of the school, Ms. Roopali Kudesia in her welcome address congratulated the students and teachers for formation of Student Council and informed the august gathering about the rigorous and democratic selection criteria.
The welcome address was followed by an invigorating message by Chairman Sir, Shri G.S. Matharoo, who, in his addressal to the students, spoke at length about his dynamic vision for the school and reminded them to fulfil their duties at all times with unflinching passion and relentless determination. He inspired students to conquer new heights and rise to challenges of life courageously, directing them to have a futuristic vision and to lead by example for others to follow.
An oath taking ceremony marked the day of all the office-bearers marching confidently and smartly to the tunes of school band. The newly elected student council members beamed with pride as they resolved to work earnestly and uphold the honour and glory of the institution while receiving the badges and trophies. The newly invested Head Girl, Vasundhara Pande and Head Boy, Vansh Gupta along with the House Captains and other office bearers stood tall while holding the flags of Prudence as destiny prepared itself to bring in many more laurels to the institution. It was a moment of pride for all the parents to witness their children being invested with great responsibilities while embarking on a new journey as leaders.
It is indeed true that leaders become great not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others and we at Prudence School, Ashok Vihar believe that students being the visionaries and torch bearers of tomorrow, should be provided with the opportunity to brace themselves with the leadership skills from the very beginning. And on this note we hope that these young leaders will inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more!!
