Once again, the Newton Hall reverberated with great vibrancy and excitement\u00a0as the\u00a0much awaited investiture ceremony\u00a0commenced, marking\u00a0the creation of a new student council\u00a0for the year 2021-22. The event was live streamed for the student body who had logged in from home to attend the special celebration.<\/p>
A soul stirring\u00a0prayer sung by the school choir, under the able guidance of the talented Music Team led by Mr. Hazra, Mr. David Lal and Mr. Prateek Lal, set the tone for a solemn yet joyous event which the children have waited for eagerly.\u00a0Each elected captain was welcomed on the stage by a thunderous round of applause from the audience.\u00a0Hands on their hearts, they vowed to uphold the principles that had brought them this honour and to work with diligence and honesty in the myriad duties that lie ahead for them.\u00a0The Council was presented with\u00a0badges\u00a0of their posts\u00a0by\u00a0the Director,\u00a0Mr. Atul Khanna,\u00a0School Principal, Ms. Sangeeta Sekhon and the Vice Principal, Ms Nisha Kaul.<\/p>
In an informal, conversational speech Mr. Khanna reminisced about his own journey as a student, and how it led him to setting up the Strawberry Fields schools, as a place which could be a home away from home, where the children could feel safe and happy, surrounded by an extended family of devoted teachers, didis and bhaiyas. It was a refreshingly candid address, straight from the heart,\u00a0and every child sitting in the auditorium felt included and appreciated.<\/p>
The ceremony concluded with a vote of thanks from the newly elected School Captain, Aadya Batra, followed by the National Anthem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
