Scottish High, with its well-defined academic standards, focuses on the well-rounded growth of students. Employing the learner attributes of PYP through different leadership roles and responsibilities is the most effective way to build them comprehensively.

With this as central, the Junior Student Council Members for the academic year 2023-24 were elected in a formal Investiture Ceremony. The young council members were ready now to take on new roles, duties and responsibilities as Primary Clan Prefect, Cultural Prefect and Sports Prefect.

Defying the leadership age bar with their new titles and designations, the young Highlanders perfectly endorsed-ITS NEVER TOO EARLY TO START AS LEADERS!

On the 21st of April 2023, the Investiture Ceremony for the student council of Scottish High International School was held with much excitement and anticipation. The event was attended by Dr. Cdr Kartikay Saini, the Chairman of the school, the Core Management Team, students, teachers, and parents in the school auditorium.

The ceremony commenced with the students singing a beautiful song, followed by a mesmerizing classical dance performance by the Highlanders, showcasing their fluid movements. The proud parents were then invited to the stage to adorn their children with sashes, representing their respective posts. The outgoing school council members handed over their responsibilities to the incoming members, and the new head boy, Akarsh Jain, and head girl, Atvika Gaur, administered the oath of office. The new members pledged to uphold the school’s values and fulfil their duties with sincerity and dedication.

Dr. Cdr Kartikay Saini, in his address, applauded the rank holders, emphasizing the significance of diligence and focus in achieving one’s goals. He also congratulated the new student council and urged them to work hard and maintain the school’s values, leaving a lasting impression that the juniors will take pride in following. The ceremony concluded with the singing of the school song and the national anthem. It was an unforgettable event, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the school’s history. The new council members are now prepared to take on their responsibilities and make a positive impact on the school community.

To make a place in the world, one must fight for it. To lead, one must also understand what it takes to follow. Our student leaders have moved closer to their aim, Inch by Inch, and reached their finest hour.

A Scottish clan is a kinship group among the Scottish people. A Clan gives a sense of shared identity to its members. Similarly, At Scottish High, we have four clans, named after four clans in Scotland – Anderson, Boyd, Lamont and Macarthur.
