My Speech

INAGUARAL SPEECH OF ALUMNI, AUDEN PUBLIC SCHOOL
BY VISHWAS.V

A warm welcome to all of you present here.
Before I begin my formal remarks, I must express my appreciation for all of you present here, in person or in fond memory. I wouldn’t be here today if it were not for my teachers and mentors.

We have joined here today in a reunion, between you and your former classmates and the teachers at the school school which helped shape our future. An Alumni event like offers you with an opportunity to visit the familiar classrooms and the campus which refreshes our memories.

When you entered the school today, no doubt you recognized some physical changes. But our greatest assets lie in all of us who have come out of school life into the real world. It is the responsibility of all of us to mentor the current students and convey the message of excitement and opportunities in the real world.

We are the ambassadors of this prestigious institution. It is our duty to see to it that the current students of our school find the right path in their professional life.
Society looks to you for answers to social and economic questions. I am confident that you are more than willing and able to give something back to the society that nurtured you. So why don’t we inspire them with our work or ideas?

This Alumni Association, I hope will cater the needs of it’s members as well as the current students of our school and will serve the purpose of an Alumni.
