Welcome address

**Good morning, dear parents, esteemed guests, teachers, and our bright young
graduates! Welcome to the radiant dawn of knowledge, the Kids' Graduation Day,
and SpeakEng Fiesta!**

We are thrilled to have you all join us on this beautiful morning as we celebrate
not just the academic achievements of our young learners but also the
collaborative efforts of our dedicated teachers and the invaluable support of our
parents.

*In the tapestry of this morning's celebration, we are honored to have with us the
Parish priest of Sacred Heart Church Gummidipundi and our esteemed Chief
Guest, Rev. Fr. Arokia. His presence adds a touch of divine grace to our
proceedings, symbolizing the importance of faith, education, and community
coming together. "Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom,"
and we are privileged to have Rev. Fr. Arokia guide us on this educational
journey.*

A special welcome to our Correspondent, Rev. Sr. Belsamma, whose visionary

leadership has been the guiding force behind our educational endeavors. *In the
words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you
can use to change the world," and Rev. Sr. Belsamma has been instrumental in
shaping the minds that will change the world.*
Joining us is the beacon of wisdom and compassion, our beloved Head Mistress,
Rev. Sr. Nirmala Rani. *Her dedication to the well-being and academic excellence
of our students is truly commendable. As Albert Einstein said, "It is the supreme
art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge," and Rev.
Sr. Nirmala Rani has mastered this art.*

*Let us extend our warm greetings to Rev. Sr. Hilda Mary, an excellent educator
whose passion for teaching has inspired countless students to reach new heights
of understanding and knowledge. Alongside her, we welcome Rev. Sr. Sahaya
Shanti, an exceptional analyst whose keen insights have enriched our educational
practices.*

*A round of applause for the Managing Director of SpeakEng Education, Mr.

Arunraj Chandran, and the General Manager, Mr. Manoj Kumar, whose
commitment to fostering linguistic skills aligns seamlessly with our educational
goals. "Language shapes the way we think, and determining how we think is a
powerful tool," as they guide us through this linguistic journey.*

*Our dedicated teachers, the heart and soul of our institution, deserve special
mention. Their unwavering dedication, creativity, and passion have shaped the
minds of our students, laying the foundation for a bright future.*

Parents, your unwavering support and encouragement have been the driving
force behind your children's success. Today, we extend our heartfelt welcome to
you, the proud architects of these young dreams. *Your role in their education is
beautifully encapsulated by Oprah Winfrey: "Education is the key to unlocking the
world, a passport to freedom." Thank you for unlocking the world for your
children.*
*Let's not forget the integral part played by our SEE Language Trainers, Ms.
Sowmya and Ms. Hebzibah. Their expertise has been instrumental in honing the
language skills of our students, ensuring that they are well-equipped for the
linguistic challenges ahead.*

And now, to the true stars of the day – our students and non-teaching staff. Your
enthusiasm, energy, and commitment to learning have filled these halls with a
spirit of joy and accomplishment.

*As we stand on the threshold of this grand celebration, let the spirit of unity and
camaraderie guide us through this linguistic and academic extravaganza.*

*In conclusion, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for being a part
of this momentous occasion. "Education is the passport to the future, for
tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today" (Malcolm X). May this Kids'
Graduation Day and SpeakEng Fiesta be a memory etched in our hearts, inspiring
us to pursue knowledge, embrace diversity, and foster a love for language.*

*Once again, a warm welcome to our distinguished guests, dedicated educators,

proud parents, and our beloved students. Let the celebration begin!*
