The ceremony beautifully blended tradition, celebration, and reflection, marking the students’ transition from school life to the wider world.
The programme began with the Grand Procession, a cherished school tradition. The graduating students, dressed in formal attire, marched solemnly across the campus, led by the Sisters and accompanied by the teaching and non-teaching staff. The procession symbolized the students’ final journey through the school corridors and their readiness to step into a new phase of life.
This was followed by the Lighting of the Lamp ceremony, signifying the spread of knowledge, truth, and service. The glowing lamps reflected the values the institution strives to instill in every student.
The highlight of the evening was the Awards Distribution Ceremony, where outstanding achievements of the Class of 2026 were recognized. Principal Sister Steffi A.C., along with Manager Sister M. Serena A.C. and Vice-Principal Sister Jacinta Taoro A.C., presented awards for academic excellence, leadership, and commitment to school values.
Addressing the gathering, Principal Sister Steffi A.C. said, “Our graduates are the torchbearers of the Sacred Heart legacy. The solemnity of tonight’s march reflects the character and grace they have developed here. As they leave us, we pray they carry the light of truth and service wherever they go.”
The school choir then performed a specially composed motivational song, inspiring the graduates to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.
The Valedictory Address was delivered by School President Kanishka Chopra, who spoke on behalf of the Class of 2026. She reflected on the journey of the students from timid young girls to confident women, expressing gratitude to teachers, parents, and the institution for their constant guidance and support.
