“Every
child is a winner”
On Friday,
25th August, 2017 we were delighted to hold our 7th Annual Awards and
Investiture ceremony in our school cafeteria. Over six hundred invitees
attended this prestigious event.
The
parents were accorded a warm welcome followed by the traditional lamp lighting
ceremony.
The event
featured two Primary school choir songs, melodious and delightful performance
from the student groups, inspirational words of wisdom from our chief guest,
Ms. Anita Anand who is an author of repute, our School Director, Dr. Shalini
Advani and our Primary School Principal, Mrs. Meenakshi Singhal. The awards
ceremony highlighted the many successes of the past academic year. Prizes were
given for excellence, endeavour and progress as well as for noteworthy
performances in specific subjects. Awards were also given for demonstrating the
IB learner’s profile, for exceptional peer mentoring and for technological
success. Our awards ceremony morning enabled us to formally reward and
recognize success.
One of the most important gifts we offer young
children is a positive view of themselves.
Using individualized
learning across the school has ensured that all our children expect to succeed.
Rewards abound for every child who finds success. We do not expect failure but
acknowledge challenges. Nurturing every child to exceed their potential, is a
motto, we showcase in every awards ceremony, for we value ‘progress’ in every
field, at the child’s pace.
The role
of the children is just to be children. During the awards ceremony, it was
ensured that all our children held a positive view of themselves and were ready
to approach the new academic year with self-confidence.
‘’If your
actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you
are a leader. If you can boost the self-esteem of your team and make them
believe in themselves, you are a leader. If you can lead by example and not by
mere words you are truly a leader. ‘’- John Quincy Adams
At
Pathways school, we believe that being a member of the coveted Student Council
teaches our children to work in tandem as a team, to be accountable for their
actions and be worthy of the trust reposed in them.
The
Student Council formally took the oath of office at the solemn Investiture
Ceremony, where they promised to uphold the values and traditions. It was
indeed a milestone in their lives! When the students took their oath, they
vowed to always keep the faith, to stand for what is just and right, to be
upright and honest in all their actions.
As
Gandhiji said, ‘a small body of determined spirits fired with an unquenchable
faith in their mission can alter the course of history.’
The
program concluded with the National Anthem.
