3. Roles and Responsibility of student
council
(Anchor 1) “Leaders are the role models who
inspire the followers and motivate them to
reach the zenith of success”
Investiture ceremony is one of the most
important events of a school. It is here that
we entrust faith and hope in our newly
elected Student Council. Every student who
obtains a leadership role feels proud. Today’s
celebration makes every leader feel unique as
they shoulder a big responsibility in various
capacities for the smooth functioning of our
school activities.
(Anchor 2) To enlighten our esteemed
guests, we wish to share the process of how
our student council is formed. The positions of
Head Boy, Head Girl, and House Captains are
appointed through electronic voting
mechanisms, ensuring a fair and transparent
selection process. As for the discipline
incharges, safety ambassadors, cleanliness
incharges, and Health & Hygiene incharges,
they are nominated for their roles, embodying
the essence of teamwork and trust. With this
meticulous approach, the student council
takes shape, representing a diverse array of
talents and commitment.
(Anchor 1) : Delegation of responsibility and
giving authority to children is important as it
teaches them lifelong skills of leadership and
at the same time making them shoulder a
host of responsibilities that come along with
leadership. Foreseeing the welfare of the
student’s future and to train them in
leadership skills the school’s student’s council
has been constituted.
(Anchor 2) Swami Vivekanand Public
School has been always inspired by the fact
that students are the torch-bearers of
tomorrow. Therefore, nurturing them and
fostering in them a sense of self-respect, self
discipline, the capacity to enjoy life as
independent, self – motivated adults and the
willingness to care for others are extremely
pertinent, especially when it comes to making
tomorrow’s global citizens.
