As the ceremony began and our parents arrived, my flag group and I proudly marched onto the stage, each holding our respective house flags. The Head Boy carried the Pakistan flag, while the Head Girl held the Beaconhouse flag. We all felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, trying our best not to make any mistakes while holding the flags. As soon as we took our positions on stage, the National Anthem began to play, filling the hall with pride and unity.
Skipping to the next part, the choir students took the stage and sang a beautiful naat, leaving our hearts blessed and the atmosphere serene. Before the sash ceremony, our Head Principal, Ma’am Samar, delivered a warm welcome note to the audience, sincerely thanking the parents for joining their children on this special occasion.
Then came the moment of pride , our announcer, Maya Omer, began calling out the names of the newly elected Student Council members.
The first group to come on stage was the Eco-Friendly and SPS Ambassadors, along with their partners and supporters.
Next came the Sports Ambassadors and the House Captains with their Vice Captains. I was called up as the Dolphins House Captain, along with my partner Ahmed Noman, the Vice Captain of Dolphins.
The third group included the Lighthouse Team and the Action Team, who were invited to receive their sashes. Finally, the Head Boy, Head Girl, and their Deputies came on stage to receive theirs. The Head Boy, Azlan, and the Head Girl, Laiha, each delivered heartfelt speeches, expressing gratitude to those who supported them and sharing their journeys. The Lighthouse Ambassador also gave an inspiring speech about their leadership experience.
Continuing the ceremony, my fellow singers and I went on stage to perform the Leader in Me (LIM) song. In between verses, each of us recited one or two inspiring LIM quotes, spreading motivation and positivity throughout the hall.
At the end of the ceremony, the entire Student Council was invited on stage for a group photograph, our faces glowing with pride and excitement.
