Investiture Ceremony (8/8/12)
Orchids-The International School organized the Investiture
Ceremony, for the academic year 2012-2013, on August 8 with great enthusiasm.
The ceremony began with the address of the Principal of Orchids,
Mrs. Mona Mehdi. She spoke in detail of the encouragement given to students to
exercise their right to vote in a judicious manner and the democratic elections
conducted in the school. The school song sung by the school choir once again
reiterated that Orchidians ‘learn to lead through every deed’. The motto of the
school, ‘Learning to lead’ aptly applies to the new leaders ready to shoulder
their responsibilities.
The Chief Guest of the day, Mr. K. Srinadh Reddy, Inspector
of Police, Madhapur conferred appointments on the students and administered
oath. The Appointments are at both School and House levels in both senior and
junior sections. Archana Dinesh of class X marched gracefully to be appointed
Head Girl-a big responsibility and a coveted position. Ankit Malhotra of the
same class was appointed Head Boy. K. Sumasri of class X took the appointment
of Discipline Incharge and Arpangmen Imsong (Justin) of class IX was appointed Sports
Captain. The proud parents watched their kids march confidently to receive the
emblems of leadership.
The Chief Guest, in his inspiring speech of guidance,
addressed the Office Bearers to perform their tasks and responsibilities with
utmost sincerity and diligence and motivated the students to develop qualities
of leadership. He stressed on the importance of honesty, integrity and loyalty
as vital qualities for positions of dignity. The prefects of today are future leaders and
hence, very important to the nation. However, everybody has a spark of
leadership within and it has only to be kindled to get into the limelight.
.
Badges and sashes, symbols of appointments added dignity to the Council members reminding them of their responsibilities. With these responsibilities placed on their firm shoulders, the newly appointed office-bearers silently vowed to act as role models for the rest of the school to emulate.

VAN MAHOTSAV (4/8/12)
Van Mahotsav, the annual tree-planting festival in India, is meant to make us conscious of our responsibility towards preserving nature. Orchids celebrated the festival in various ways. All the display boards depicted the need to sow seeds and let them grow into trees to serve us. Vegetation that safeguards creation on the earth became the cynosure of the period. There was a brief programme of songs, slogans and skits in which all the classes presented the urgent need to preserve greenery for the welfare of life on our planet.
Later each class planted a sapling of Bougainvillea in the school and it was a pleasure to watch their activity. The Principal of Orchids, Ms. Mona Mehdi and all the teachers were actively involved in celebrating the festival of a significant message. All the students were of the eagerness to ‘Go Green’.
