The Investiture Ceremony at Epic Public School celebrated student leadership through a heartfelt oath-taking event. Newly elected House Captains, Prefects, and the School Captain pledged to uphold values of integrity, responsibility, and respect, reinforcing the school’s commitment to democracy and nation-building.
Today marked a significant and heartwarming milestone at Epic Public School — the Investiture Ceremony for the newly elected school captains and house leaders. It was more than just a day of badges and sashes; it was a day where young shoulders embraced the weight of responsibility, and youthful hearts pledged to uphold values that shape not just a school, but a nation.
As reported earlier, a democratic election was held to elect the House Captains and the Head Boy/Girl of the school. In a spirit of fairness and participation, students came forward to vote and elect those whom they believed would best represent their vision of leadership.
This morning, under the proud gaze of teachers and students, the elected House Captains stood tall for their investiture ceremony. And what an oath it was — filled with sincerity, grace and maturity beyond their years. They pledged to be respectful to all, to lead not with authority but with empathy. They vowed to never promote unhealthy competition, but instead nurture a spirit of unity, fairness and growth. Most movingly, they promised to uphold the honour of the school and the country — to let both flags soar higher with each of their actions.
This was followed by the investiture ceremony of the newly appointed prefects. With firm voices and determined hearts, they swore to carry out their responsibilities with honesty and sincerity. Discipline, integrity, fairness, and dedication — these weren’t just words, but promises etched into their young minds. Their aim was simple yet profound: to create a safe, disciplined, and positive atmosphere for every student within the school premises.
Then came the solemn moment of the School Captain’s pledge. With hands on their hearts and eyes filled with purpose, they vowed to perform their duties with unwavering integrity, diligence and respect during their investiture ceremony. They promised to be the first to walk the path they wanted others to follow. To uphold the proud legacy and values of Epic Public School, and to inspire their peers to rise with responsibility and accountability.
The highlight of the investiture ceremony was the ceremonial presentation of badges, flags and sashes. Mr Biswajit Jha, Director of the school, and Dr Sanjukta Saha did the honours, bestowing upon each leader not just a symbol of their position, but a reminder of their duty. The look in the eyes of each recipient reflected a blend of pride and promise — a recognition that this was not just about leading, but serving.
The ceremony concluded with a heartfelt and insightful address by Mr Biswajit Jha. In his speech, he gently reminded everyone why such ceremonies matter. “Democracy,” he said, “is not just a concept for adults or governments. It begins here — in classrooms and corridors, where children learn to vote, to choose, to lead, and to follow. When children grow up with the values of equality, respect and responsibility, we don’t just shape good students — we shape a better society and a stronger nation.”
As the hall echoed with applause and the flags fluttered in the breeze, one could sense that something truly special had taken place. It was a morning that would be remembered not just for its rituals, but for the spirit it ignited — the spirit of service, leadership, and hope.
Indeed, today, Epic Public School didn’t just invest its students with badges. It invested in the future.
