What is an Investiture Ceremony?
An Investiture Ceremony is a formal school event where newly elected or appointed student leaders—such as head boys, head girls, prefects, and house captains—are officially entrusted with their responsibilities. The ceremony symbolizes the trust and confidence that the institution places in the new leaders. Through badge presentations and oath-taking, students pledge to uphold school values, demonstrate leadership, and serve their school community with sincerity and dedication.
