‘BLESSING CEREMONY’ OF CLASS 12 STUDENTS HELD AT GD GOENKA PUBLIC SCHOOL LUCKNOW:-
Blessings of Teachers Illuminated the Life-path of Students
The Blessing Ceremony for class 12, the batch of 2022-23 was organized at GD Goenka Public School, Lucknow on 31 January 2023. Teachers and students of class 12 assembled in the auditorium to celebrate an occasion that marked the end of a carefully supervised school life and the beginning of a new life in the ‘real world’.
The ceremony commenced with the soulful rendition of the School Song by the school choir. This was followed by the presentation of a slideshow of a medley of magical memories that marked their years spent in school, giving the students and their teachers a fascinating flashback of their school journey.
The Chairman of the school Mr. Sarvesh Goel blessed the students and said that their time to get exposure to the ‘real world’ has arrived and they are now ready to face the challenges of the world. There will be very high expectations from them so their conduct should be exemplary. He further emphasised the significance of ASK, where it was vital for the students to have the right attitude, build on skills, and continuously acquire knowledge in order to cope with the challenges in life. He asked the students to focus on the basic parameters. Firstly, they need to take good care of their health and have faith in their parents and never hesitate to share their deepest secrets with them as they are always going to stand with them in their hour of need. He also advised the students to work according to their capacity and take initiative to help the needy and the destitute and contribute towards society so that they make themselves, their parents, the teachers, and the school proud.
In keeping with the tradition the students were presented mementos by the Chairman and the Principal Dr. Prerna Mitra They were given mugs with their picture on them and best wishes written on them by the Principal, a souvenir that they would look back at in the years to come.
This was followed by a photo session of all class XII students with the Chairman, Principal, and teachers. The ‘Blessing Ceremony’ was probably a moment of mixed feelings for the students. Many looked sad at the prospect of leaving behind their ‘second home’, yet there was a feeling of excitement at the thought of exploring the world that awaits them.
