INVESTITURE CEREMONY - COMPERING:

INTRODUCTION
Abinav: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way”.

Very good morning to one and all present here. I, Abinav of class 10, here to lead you
through today's proceedings. We have all gathered here on this pleasant morning to
witness one of the most auspicious occasions of our school - The Investiture Ceremony
of the academic year 2022-2023.

Swati: As we continue the journey of our founder, revered father Murphy, and strive
hard to take Vana Vani to greater heights, there is no doubt that leaders play a major
role in every aspect.

In this solemn ceremony, the leaders of our school, the student council, are vested not
only with power but also great responsibility to keep up the good work. It is here that we
entrust faith and hope in them.

I would only say - “Let our actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more
and become more, be a leader!”

PRAYER AND TAMIL THAI VALTHU

Abinav: Let us start this propitious morning, seeking blessings from the Almighty. May I
invite our school choir to render the prayer song followed by Tamil Thai Valthu.

Swati: Thank you, friends! You made singing with such divinity seem effortless.

WELCOME ADDRESS
Swati: Now I call upon our school cultural secretary, Lolita Anne of class 12A to deliver
the welcome address.

Abinav: Thank you Lolita for sharing your thoughts with us today.

Abinav: I request Nyla Mary, our school cultural secretary of class 12B to introduce the
chief guest of the day, Shrimathi.B.Priyanka Pankajam.

Swati: Thank you Nyla, for doing the honors.

FELICITATION

Swati: I request our chairman, Professor S.P.Dhanavel to present a memento to our

chief guest and welcome her.

Swati: Thank you, Sir.

We are privileged to have you amidst us in spite of your busy schedule Ma’am.

SCRIPTURE READING

Abinau: As God's people, we are deeply reliant on scripture. Scripture reading is not
something we do as a duty or obligation, but something we do with delight because we
believe it is a means to comprehend the ultimate truth.

Abinau: So now we have Gokulnath Sreehari of class 10B to chant verses from the
Bhagavad gita, Samuel Theodere of class 9C to quote verses from the Bible and
Vahbiya of class 9C to recite verses from the Quran.

Swati: Thank you, friends, that was profound indeed.

REMINISCENCE

Swati: “There will always be a song in our playlist which we always skip but never
delete and Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days.”

I kindly request Mrs.Indra Raghu Kumar, one of our senior most teachers, to enlighten
us on the Founder's day of our school.

Thank you, Ma'am.

CONFERRING TITLES

Abinau: Now we have reached the most awaited moment of the day, the badge
presentation ceremony where students will be ranked with different designations and
given responsibilities followed by oath-taking. (march)

Swati: I request our chief guest and chairman to distribute the badges and the house
mistress to come forward to hand over the house flags and placards to the respective
house captains.

ADMINISTRATION OF OATH
Swati: Unless a commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes but no plans.I
request the chief guest to administer the oath, and the student council to repeat after
Ma’am.

Abinau: Thank you, Ma’am , the student council may be seated now.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY HEAD BOY AND HEAD GIRL

Abinau: Now I call upon the head boy, Aaryan.I of class 12A to deliver his acceptance
speech.

Thank you Aaryan.

Abinau: I request our head girl, Bala Roshini of class 12B to deliver her acceptance
speech.

Swati: Thank you, Bala Roshini.

ADDRESS BY THE CHIEF GUEST

Swati: Now it is time to welcome our esteemed chief guest to address the gathering.

Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom Ma’am, they were truly inspiring.

Abinau: Another new edition of ‘Reflection’ is ready providing a panoramic view of the
year 2021-22 and I request our chairman Professor S P Dhanavel to come on stage and
release the magazine.

I request our chairman to handover a copy of it to our chief guest Shrimathi.B.Priyanka

Pankajam.

Swati: Now I request our chairman to give a copy of the magazine to our secretary
Shri.Raman Kumar and our principal Mr.M.Sathish Kumar.

Thank you, Sir.
