FOUNDATION DAY 2018 COMPERE SCRIPT

Molina: Once upon a time, two decades ago,

A yearning did its’ seeds sow,

To stand out with colors bold,

To ignite an amber in the cold

So life wrapped itself in bricks red,

While all stood small and said

“Mortals, open your eyes to see,

DPS Rohini is what you strive to be”

Parth: Good Morning to all the eminent dignitaries present here today. We welcome you all to the 24th

Parth : “Be too positive, to be doubtful

Too optimistic, to be fearful;

And too determined… to be defeated”

Molina: Positive influence and quality education have the potential to change a child’s life.

And such is the positive influence of the people present with us today. On behalf of our school, we would like
to extend a warm welcome to our Chief Guest Shri V.K Shunglu (Chairman, Delhi Public School Society) and
the Guest of Honour Shri Promod Rawal (Vice Chairman, Managing Committee, Delhi Public School, Rohini)

Parth: Today is a euphoric occasion for us all. Our revered institution came into being 23 years ago. With the
single minded pursuit of spreading the light of quality education, the idea of establishing DPS Rohini was
mooted by the visionaries of the DPS Society in 1995. Consequently, DPS Rohini was established on 3 July,
1995 under the aegis of Delhi Public School Society and it is now a globally accepted benchmark.

Molina: And needless to say--- from that day till today, we have come a long way! Students of our Alma mater
are shining bright in every field be it academics or co- curricular activities. DPS Rohini believes that each child
is unique and lovingly nurtures every talent to enable him reach the pinnacle of success.

Parth: It is time now to sink in to the depth of music, song, bliss and enjoyment. We now call upon stage our
young singers to mesmerize you with their skill and talent .They will be singing an inspirational song ‘Tu Zinda
Hai Tu Zindagi Ki Jeet Par Yakeen Kar’.

*Choir performs*

After mesmerizing you with their melodious voices, the school orchestra is here to blow you off your feet. They
are here to perform Raag Bhimpalasi on a medley of instruments comprising of the guitar, sitar, mandolin,
violin among others.

Molina: That was indeed melodious! May we have a huge round of applause for our young singers and
musicians? Thank you.

Parth: At DPS Rohini, the primary aim is to develop qualities of integrity, honesty, trust, tolerance and
compassion, to promote a spirit of enquiry; to foster a scientific temper within the bounds of humanism and
to help each student become a meaningful part of his environment. The pursuit of excellence encouraged at
DPS Rohini rests on the positive belief that every child has it in him, the ability to produce work, the quality of
which can be described as first class.

Molina This optimism would not have been possible, had it not been for our motivating Principal ma’am. We
would like to request our honourable Principal ma’am, Mrs. Vibha Singh to kindly address this august
gathering.

Parth: Thank you ma’am.

The battle of Waterloo was won on the playfields of Eton. Schools are the playground where students are
taught some valuable life lessons to prepare them for their future. At DPS Rohini, we are trained to handle
responsibilities and learn. It is now time to induct the newly appointed cabinet members into the school
cabinet.

We would now hand over the mic to Vanshika and Rakshat to take you through the investiture ceremony.

INVESTITURE

Vanshika: It’s true that obstacles pave the way to achievements. Here is a short story suggesting how leaders
conquer their fears and blossom.

Rakshat: Two seeds lay side by side in the fertile spring soil. The first seed was afraid of sending its roots into
the ground below as it did not know what awaited him there in the dark soil. So, it decide to wait and come
out when it is safe.

Vanshika: The second seed wanted to grow so it send its roots deep into the soil and grew into a huge tree
spreading its shade and blossoms.

You see, those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

But those who dare to outstand emerge as leaders.

Rakshat: It’s time to induct the students who are the future leaders, into the new cabinet of Delhi Public
School, Rohini.

May we now request Chairman Sir to present badges to the newly appointed cabinet. We also request our
honourable Principal ma’am, Mrs. Vibha Singh, to accompany our Chief Guest.
Vanshika: We begin with the Junior School Cabinet.

education system. We now present before you a play titled Students’ Carol depicting the ever-changing
education system of our country and its effect on children.
