The prefects took a pledge to uphold the values of integrity, empathy, perseverance, excellence and courage and live by the school motto “We learn to serve.”
In his address, chief guest and school management committee member Indranil Gupta talked about the importance of getting it right as a society, as families, and as schools in today’s turbulent environment. He urged students to learn to differentiate between right and the wrong, to have the courage to question and intervene and to fashion a better life. He underlined the role of parents in setting the right example for children, and partnering with teachers to provide support and encouragement. He reminded everyone that a person is remembered by how he/she makes others feel, not by mere words or even what he/she did. School principal Dr Rekha Bhushan expressed her appreciation to the outgoing batch of students for their exemplary achievements and bringing laurels to the school. She congratulated the new prefects, exhorting them to be role models and embrace responsibility. A motivational song and a dance performance by students of Classes 6 to 9 rounded off the ceremony.
