From illumination to light

 Schools are not just places of learning; they are communities shaped by the people who guide, inspire, and support them every day. While celebrations often highlight students and teachers, it is equally important to recognise the one who stands behind every achievement, every event, and every milestone. Principal’s Day is a reminder to honour the guiding force who leads the school with dedication, compassion, and vision.

This week has been filled with practices, artwork, and many preparations. With Principal’s Day approaching, everyone was busy and active. Every year, we celebrate Teacher’s Day, Children’s Day, Annual Day, and many other events. But we often forget to honour the person who makes all of these celebrations run smoothly and successfully. Principal’s Day is a moment to appreciate the one who guides the entire school family, reminding them that they are cared for and valued. This year, the week was dedicated to them under the theme “From Illumination to Light.”

The hard work of the students and teachers shone brightly on this special day. Their smiles and heartfelt words expressed everything they felt. The decorations and the performances, practised, rehearsed, and re-rehearsed, came together beautifully. Watching the little ones dance joyfully to the music was truly heartwarming. Every small step they learned brought excitement, and the teachers who trained them showed their dedication through the children’s confident performance.

The programme included performances by both the primary section and the high school students. The high school skit introduced the significance of the day in a meaningful way. This was followed by touching speeches from the students and a vibrant Garba dance that filled the hall with festive energy. The celebration concluded with a special choir song, written and composed on the theme “Lighthouse.” The lighthouse represented the Principal, the guiding light who helps others stay on the right path and not lose direction.

The entire event was a beautiful expression of gratitude, unity, and respect. It reflected how much the school community values the leadership and care of the person who leads them with wisdom and strength.
