- Write a paragraph on The Prize Giving Ceremony at School
The Prize Giving Ceremony is a memorable day for those who get prizes, and even for those who get none.
Every year prizes are given to the students of our school for general proficiency and sports and games. It is a day we all look forward to.
Our last prize giving ceremony took place on the 15th May before the Summer Vacation. Preparations for it, however, had started in April. The school building was tastefully decorated with flags and festoons. The school was wearing gay looks. Invitation cards were sent to all the guardians of the pupils and the distinguished men and women of the locality. The function started at 2 P.M. The Principal of the Presidency College presided.
The Headmaster received him and his wife at the gate. The guests, teachers and students were seated. The volunteers were moving about to maintain order and discipline. The programme commenced with an opening song. It was followed by recitations in English, Bengali and Sanskrit. The Headmaster read out the annual report of the school, which was a record of its all-round development.
The prizes were given away by the wife of the President amidst cheers. The President gave a neat little speech in which he congratulated the prize winners. He asked the students to maintain the glorious tradition of the school. His speech was followed by a vote of thanks by the Headmaster. The function was over with a closing song.
