The annual Investiture Ceremony at Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg in Jalandhar was conducted on October 09, 2021. Students of the school took the oath for office at the Prefectorial Board with a promise to serve fellow students with dedication and integrity.

The ceremony recognised the bright and promising candidates for the highest office in school governance, and Dr. Sandeep Goel, a renowned neurologist practicing at NHS Hospital in Jalandhar presided as the Chief Guest at the event. He emphasised how such activities in schools create leaders for tomorrow, “Apeejay is a forerunner in carving students, and encouraging them to perform their roles and responsibilities,” he said.

The event was a momentous occasion for all students and staff, being one of the first few ceremonies conducted physically on the school campus after a hiatus of 18 months. At the ceremony, the school Principal, Mr. Girish Kumar, administered the oath to the student council and office bearers, advising them to excel at their duties.

Students Arsheaa Garg and Arnav Anand were elected as the Head Girl and Head Boy of the school respectively, and Arsh Aggarwal, Ananya Chopra were appointed President and Vice-President of the Students’ Academic Council.
