My school annual day
School annual day is a day of celebration and commemoration. I think that it is a great way to celebrate the school’s success and achievements, as well as to foster a sense of community among students, teachers, parents, managing committee and alumni.
This year, my school is celebrating its 20th anniversary. It has been a long and fruitful journey for the management, teachers and students of this institution.
Usually my school anniversary is held in the month of November after midterm examination so that both the students and teachers can devote their entire time to make the celebrations a complete success. But this year, due to unforeseen circumstances it held in the month of February.
There were a number of competitions like rangoli competition, pick and speak, weaste to wealth, singing, essay, speech and many other competitions held on behalf of our annual day. Sports day was held last month where there were many sports and game events.
The guest of honour on the school day was the MLA of our region who had been invited to preside over the function. He was received by the Correspondent and the Principal of the school and immediately escorted to the podium. The day started with the lighting of lamp by the MLA and other guests joined him. First day morning session was completely devoted to prize distribution. Winners of different the competitions were awarded. Sports champion was given the championship trophy. Also, the students with best academic record in each class is recognized and given prizes.
Welcoming the gathering, the Head Master of our school read out the annual report of the school. During the course of his speech, he also announced the name of the student who had secured the first rank in S.S.L.C. examination conducted last year. There was a thunderous applause from amidst the students and teachers. The student was also felicitated. Later Education Minister gave a short speech which was highly instructive. He stressed the need for the student community to keep away from politics and strikes, as t harm both the students and the country. He exhorted the teachers to instill sense of duty and discipline in the minds of their wards.
Adding colour to the occasion people from the nearby villages had gathered in large numbers to witness the anniversary celebrations of the school The nearest village was as near as one kilometer from the school. Although our school is situated in the rural area, its strength exceeds 1000.
The cultural programmes were held at the afternoon session. One of the importance of annual day is that it provides a platform for students to showcase their talents.
The function came to an end at night 9 o’clock when our English teach proposed a vote of thanks. One of the highlights of the function was the drama which both students and teachers participated. The Minister and all those who attended the function were thrilled.
