Prefects’ Council election was organized in
Orchids-The International School on 27.6.14 in a truly democratic spirit. For
more than a week the contestants for the appointments of Head Girl, Head Boy
and House Captains for the four Houses of the school gave election speeches in
the morning assembly to impress the voters. Their speeches were effective,
promising and assertive. Their supporters canvassed for them in earnest and it
was very difficult to guess the winners. Ballot boxes, ballot papers and eager
voters made an eventful day. Votes were counted on the same day and the results
were announced on 30.6.14.
Both Senior and Junior wings have their Head
Boy and Head Girl. Besides, the four Houses have their House Captain and Vice-Captain
to lead their Houses both at Senior and Junior levels. The nominated posts of
Sports Captain and Discipline Captain focus on their areas.
The eventful day of the

extended a formal welcome to the gathering introducing the Chief Guest Mr. V.
Sreenivasa Rao, Inspector of Police, Madhapur. The school choir sang the School
Song asserting their pride to be Orchidians.
The Chief Guest conferred Appointments
on the young leaders by bestowing on them emblems of leadership. The elected
prefects were invested with their posts formally to lead the events of the
academic year. In his speech the Chief Guest enumerated leadership qualities
and advised the Prefects’ Council to bring out the best in their teams while
learning to lead.
The tenth class teachers who
taught the last year batch were sent certificates of appreciation by the HRD
Ministry, the Govt. of India. It was a memorable moment when the teachers
received the certificates from the Chief Guest.
The day of the Investiture
