Investiture Ceremony 2022

“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”

The investiture ceremony is an important occasion where the School entrusts its upcoming leaders with specific roles and responsibilities. Delegation of responsibility and giving authority to children is important as it ingrains in them lifelong skills of authority and accountability.
