The starting point of all achievement is desire. If one has the desire to succeed, one surely will. With this in mind and to boost the morale of the students,  St. Joseph’s Sr. Sec. School, Sector 44-D, Chandigarh  held its Annual Prize Distribution Ceremony on Thursday, in the school premises. It was the time to applaud and reward the students for their sincere efforts during the previous academic session. The school honoured all its achievers for having attained a sterling record both in scholastic and co-scholastic domain. Therefore, it wasn’t only Academic Excellence that was appreciated but also categories such as Best Orator, Budding Artists ,Best Innovation, Best Player, Co curricular excellence, Most Virtuous Student and Regularity & Punctuality. Around 240 students per class per section were honoured for their outstanding achievements. Special care was taken to ensure that deserving students from each section of every class were honoured.

The ceremony commenced by invoking God’s blessings followed by a welcome address and was then taken further by the comparers. The school song sung by the choir and dance performance on an inspirational song by the students was appreciated by everyone.

The awards, trophies and certificates were conferred upon the well deserving Josephians by the Members of the Management – Mr. Sukhdeep Singh, Mrs. Lily Sebastian and Principal Mrs. Monica Chawla. The Principal also motivated the winners to go ahead to achieve their heart’s desire –whatever that may be. She went on to remind them to continue to uphold the values that are such an integral part of the institution. She appreciated the efforts put in by the students and the faculty for their overall performances and wished for them to come through with flying colours in future too.

It was indeed a proud moment not only for the recipients of the awards but also for their Parents who had been invited to partake in the glory of their child(ren)’s success.
