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) Ambuja Vidya Niketan 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.
