Rosary Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Santhome hosted the investiture ceremony for this year on June 25. The chief guest for the day was Sister Sahayam of St. Dominics Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School. The theme for the day was ‘Leadership is action, not position.’
One of the students of the school gave an introduction about leadership. Followed by a welcome speech and prayer song sung by the school choir, there was a dance-drama which depicted leadership.
The School Pupil Leader, J. Rufina of std XI and Assistant School Pupil Leader, Rina of std IX for the year 2009-2010 were given their badges of honour by Sister Sahayam after which they took their pledge.
The House captains along with the Assistant House captains, Games Captain and Cultural Captain were also honoured with their badges. All the School leaders were chosen by conducting election among the students, which was held two weeks before.
The parents of the leaders were specially invited by the school on the day of the ceremony. The class captains and house leaders of each class also received their badges after which the school choir sung a song wishing the new leaders.
Sister Sahayam addressed the gathering by giving a short speech. She also appreciated the students of Rosary for the discipline they maintain. The programme ended by singing the school song and national anthem.
