Thursday, May 17, 2018

"Leaders are not born but are made by their experiences in life". To inculcate the leadership qualities in the students and to give them a feel of functioning of the administrative body, The Indian Learners Own Academy school prefectorial board was formed after scrutinous interviewing and voting.

The official ceremony of conferring titles and investing powers, to the members of the school council was organized at the Investiture Ceremony on 29th April, 2018.

The ceremony began with the recitation of the Holy Quran followed by the English Prayer and the ceremonial lighting of the lamp by the Chief Guest Mr. Kenneth A. Rodrigues, Principal of Indian Public School. The Chairman Mr. D. K. Sharma and Director and Principal Mrs. Asha Sharma graced the occasion with their valuable presence. The Vice Principal Dr. Sheeba Balraj welcomed the gathering and introduced the Chief Guest. The school choir sang a patriotic song with great vigour and voice laced with pride and confidence and a semi-classical dance rendition by the high school students added colour and vibrancy to the event.

The School Council Members and the House Appointees were conferred upon with sashes and badges by the Chief Guest and the respective House Wardens and the flags were handed over; a symbolic representation of handing over the responsibility to the new Office Bearers. The Principal administered the oath to the leaders.

Mr. Kenneth A. Rodrigues addressed the leaders by asking them to be good leaders and shouldering responsibility efficiently. He enlightened them by stating that they have to be the role models to their peer group and set the standards high for their juniors to follow. The school Head Boy, Rajat Dang delivered his speech, promising to abide by the qualities of a true leader and keeping the mantle of ILOA flying high. The Head Girl, Adorna Maria Johny, proposed the vote of thanks and vowed to guide and serve the Student Council to the best of her abilities and support the fresh and young front runners till the finish line.
