WELCOME SPEECH FOR CHIEF GUEST BY PRINCIPAL AT THE ANNUAL

SPORTS DAY
Good afternoon everyone,

On the behalf of St. JKL Academy, I extend a very warm welcome to all of you present here on the
14th annual sports meet of our school. Sports are an integral as well as necessary part of our lives.
Sports, whether team based or individual are a great activity for children that provide us a variety of
benefits other than physical fitness. Participation in sports can help build self-esteem, confidence and can
motivate children to excel academically and can help build their social skills. It can even teach children the
ways and benefits of goal setting & practice.

So, with this purpose, we organise a sports meet every year in an order where 100% participation is
encouraged and each participant is rewarded and it is the participation of children that is most important
for us and gives us immense joy. This year our school has been declared as one of the best institutions of
the city which has included and is following extra-curricular activities in the daily time-table. I wish to thank
and congratulate each one of you dear parents for, without your support, it would not have been possible
for us. Dear parents, what you see today, is the culmination of massive, continuous efforts put in by the
students and teachers. So, sit tight and cheer our students with your generous applause.

I am pleased to share that the distinguished guest to honour us with her presence today as the Chief Guest
of our Sports day is none other than Ms Babita Kumari Phogat, the legendary Indian wrestler & Olympian.
After a biopic (“Dangal”) has been made over their inspiring life stories, I believe almost all of you must be
aware of Phogat sisters who epitomise unfailing spirit to succeed despite all odds. Miss Phogat is one of
the Indian women wrestlers who have made their nation proud many a times by their outstanding
performance in the area mostly dominated by men.

Her valiant struggle backed by her strong determination brought her all the way where she is now. She has
won 3 Gold medals and 1 Silver medal for India in Commonwealth Wrestling Championship along with 2
Bronze medals in World Wrestling Championship & Asian Wrestling Championship. It is a privilege for all of
us gathered here to have such a celebrity between us as our esteemed guest of honour.

So, with a huge round of applause, let us please call upon Miss Babita Phogat to grace the dais and share
her inspiring life story with all of us here.

Hope you all have a great time.

Thank You!

of us. The glittering faces tell that already. We all are extremely happy for our institution and we heartily
congratulate all the members on the completion of 25 golden years of our school’s and for the successful
leap it has taken. We are now at a junction where an academic chapter closes and a new one begins.
I’ve been a part of the school since I was in 4th standard and what a journey it has been with each year
having its own triumphs and struggles & yet unique in many ways. All our teachers, instructors, trainers
have been quite co-operating and helpful throughout. Our school apart from being awarded as the best
school of Noida in academic sector also focuses on extra-curricular activities for every student.
Now, in order to begin with our cultural performances, I am glad to respectfully & cordially welcome the
chief guest of the evening, Mr.XYZ Kapoor, who is known all over the country as an educationist, social
worker as well as a philanthropist. Our Guest of honour doesn’t require any formal introduction as you all
must have heard about his deeds, endeavours and endless contribution towards the society. He is a very
respectable personality who is widely known to have put in a lot of efforts in encouraging women
empowerment, girl child education, and setting up of old age homes, orphanages and many more
accomplishments in the area of social service.

It is a great pleasure to welcome such a noble personality as our Chief Guest tonight. So, on the behalf of
one & all present here, let me please extend a welcome to you Sir.
