This ceremony at TOS is essential for assigning responsibilities to elected students, empowering them to lead the student community with their decision-making, communication, and teamwork skills.
During the Investiture ceremony at TOS, a school prefectorial board is established through a rigorous selection process involving interviews. This process aims to familiarize students with the election process and the functions of an official administrative body. The chosen students receive badges reflecting their roles. This year welcoming and congratulating the elected members Head Girl – Samiksha Shetiya, Head Boy – Mihir Apte, and student captains – Gargi Baste and Sarrveshkumar Tambe (Udaan House), Ishani Patil and Adit Shetty (Unnati House), Anika Mahashabde and Arjun Patil (Umang House), and Bhumi Pande with Keshav Pazhayannur (Ujala House).
