The
Citation Ceremony, to felicitate the students of class XII, was held on the 1st
of February, 2020, at the Aravali Hall.The Chief Guest for the occasion was Wg
Cdr Pushpa Thakur, Executive Director, The Air Force School.
The
program began on an auspicious note, with lighting of the ceremonial lamp, to dispel darkness and ignorance, and to spread the Almighty’s grace
and divine energy. The guests joined in prayer, in hope that The Almighty stays
as their compass towards a bright future.
The Citation Ceremony
is symbolic of the students’ flight into the undiscovered. They have been
trained to never yield to the hardships that life can bring. They have learnt
to look at things from a new, higher perspective, to be patient with the
present, and be prepared for the immense possibilities that the future holds.
Principal,
Mrs Amita Gupta Ma’am extended a warm welcome to the guests and blessed the
students for their future endeavours. In her address, she guided the students
to be more decisive and independent in deciding the course and destiny of their
lives. She encouraged them to be confident and perform to the best of their
abilities.
The
cultural program included a lyrical rendition for the students, that no matter what befalls them, they must not quit. Following the group
song was a Guru Vandana. It was a thanksgiving from a student to his teacher. This piece was a
blend of the Kathak and Bharatnatyam forms.
The
Class Teachers of Class XII conferred their
wishes to the students in the form of citations. The teachers celebrated
the incredible journey of TAFSians and talked
about their unique experiences at school and their aspirations from life. The
Chief Guest and the other esteemed guests graced the occasion and extended
their warm blessings to the students.
Parents play the most crucial role in a
child's development, and in his journey through school. Group Captain S Sukumar
