This event played its colors on 01st September 2014 amidst the presence of the Manager, the Principal of SXIE, the exuberating staff members, the fun loving classmates and the elected leaders to form the body of the Council.

The flags were handed over to the leaders by the Manager Rev Fr. Blaise D’souza.

The Class Representative Mevil Wilson addressed his first speech as the leader of the council. His words were enlightening and threw light on the aims and objectives of the council. The main catching sentence was “we will talk less and work more”.

The speech was then followed by the oath taking ceremony by the elected council members,the oath to shoulder the responsibility as a leader and to carry out the duties in fidelity and loyalty towards the welfare of the classmates and the college.The ceremony would be incomplete without the Manager addressing the gathering. Rev Fr. Blaise brought out the idea of a leader very well in the story that he narrated to us about a sculptor. His main idea was “If you dream alone it’s just a dream. But if you dream together it’s a reality” these words was a good start to the newly elected council members. He assured his best wishes to the council and ended his speech.

With due respect to the college, we sang the College song together.
