To our Hon’ble Directors, Principal, Vice Principal, Colleagues and Our Lovely Students – Warm Greetings to all of you!
Welcome to the 21st annual award event in our XYZ School. I – Mrs. Payal Singh, the English Teacher of the higher secondary classes, feel extremely privileged to have been given the opportunity to kick start today’s prestigious award ceremony. This day couldn’t have been more special as our chief guest, Mr. ……….. – The famous author of the fiction is amongst us to grace the event.
I, on behalf of the entire school, welcome you Sir and express our gratitude for accepting the invitation and taking time out of your packed schedule for our school. We really acknowledge your kind gesture. Secondly, huge congratulations on the publication of your yet another book… We sincerely hope that it does really well and touch the cord of the masses. I would like to call upon stage our Hon’ble principal to felicitate our guest today, with a bouquet of flowers and a memento. Let us give a huge round of applause for them everyone!
As we all know that this award ceremony is conducted every year to acknowledge and appreciate the hard work, sincerity and dedication of our working staff as well as students. Clearly, the growth of this school wouldn’t have been possible without the proactive efforts of our administration as well as our highly educated as well as experienced faculty members. Of course, the dedicated efforts of our principal as well as vice principal top it all as since the time of their appointment we can witness a steady growth of our school. We have now become known everywhere and our school is now well-equipped with every necessary infrastructure as well as facilities required for the smooth running of our school.
There is greater contentment in all our working staff and the enthusiasm among our students is higher. Our students are now getting exposed to more and more opportunities whether it’s in academics or other co-curricular activities. In state and national level competitions, we are observing a rising level of our students which is getting reflected in their performances. As a result of which they are able to bag more awards for themselves as well as our school.
However, today we have gathered to acknowledge this year’s achievement of our students and our teachers. This year has been very special for all us in terms of academic and non-academic achievements. Even more special is the fact our school got listed amongst the top 5 schools of …….. Area by a leading daily newspaper. This is indeed a matter of great pride for all of us and hence calls for celebration.
Now, without any further ado let us commence the award ceremony. The first category is for our teachers and the second category is for our students. I would request all the winners to come at the back stage and get ready for their names to be called out.
I rest my speech here, thank you!
Answer:
It’s a pleasure to join you to open this festival, at my alma mater, and here in my home city of Adelaide.
Congratulations to everyone involved in organising and hosting this exciting event.
This university splendidly offers the full suite of language education from Bachelor degrees, a Diploma in Languages, and major, minor or elective study.
I must acknowledge two of the University’s outstanding scholars:
• Professor Anderson who among other interests, has joined the Government’s New Colombo Plan Reference Group having done an enormous amount in support of the development of this plan.
• Professor Bebbington, who is well-known for his valuable and ongoing contribution to the higher education debate in Australia.
Now, while this is the first Adelaide Language Festival, I have no doubt it will not be the last.
