School Events at Vadodara

Young people aren't the leaders of tomorrow. They are the leaders of today and tomorrow" Kathy Clavin.

A ceremony of investiture is symbolic of a myriad of different important aspects of human life- growth, maturity, belief, faith, duty and sincerity, to name a few. These solemn aspects gain heightened gravity when it is young blood that is being invested with the power to lead, the power to change, the power to amend, the power to guide and most importantly, the power to learn.

In keeping with this, Podar International School Vadodara, to ensure a well-rounded education to its meritorious students, is home to a Students’ Council with a term of one academic session, each.

On the 9th of July, 2024, in the Investiture Ceremony, the Students’ Council was formally invested for the academic session 2024-25. After the badging ceremony, the whole council marched proudly to the stage and took the oath which was lead by the School Principal, Ms. Shalini Bhatt.

Each student of the school was instilled with a similar sense of pride and admiration on hearing their words of motivation. The Podar International School family hopes that the Student Council for the scholastic year 2024-25 witnesses the zenith of success and progress in its term.
