Holds Investiture Ceremony for Junior Prefects
In a formal
ceremony held in its Multipurpose Hall, Indian School Muscat
inducted its 91 newly elected junior prefects of classes V –
VIII into office for the academic year 2007 – 08 on 8th
May 2007.
The
ceremony began with a prayer to give courage to do what is
right. Shriya of Class 8 delivered the welcome address. The
prefects of class 8 solemnly marched on to the stage
to the beat of drums.
The
Principal, Mr. Ainsley L. Edgar, administered the oath of
office to the prefects. Led by the Principal, the prefects
then took the solemn pledge to “discharge their duties
loyally and faithfully and to serve with honour those
entrusted to their care”.
Speaking on
the occasion, the Principal said that a student who accepts
the position of a prefect undertakes duties that are not easy
to carry out. “He must first strictly obey the rules of the
school himself, if he is to see that others also do so. He
must first tread the path himself, before he can lead others
to do so. He leads by example,” he said.
The
ceremony of pinning of the badges was carried out by the
Principal, the Vice Principals, Assistant Vice Principals and
the Heads of Departments of the Senior, Middle, Primary and
Pre-Primary sections of the school.
The
ceremony concluded with a prayer by the Vice Principal of the
Middle Section, Mr. N.C. Vijayachandra, and the singing of the
School Anthem.
