The School year at [insert name of
school] is about to commence and I
would like to take the opportunity
to welcome you all.
Education can be likened to a great
big canvas and this year we would
like our students to throw as much
paint as they can on the canvas of
their education. In my welcome
speech I appeal to the students, the
parents and the teachers to value
and uphold the importance of
intrinsic motivation.
This year I have no doubt that our
students will throw themselves into
their education, they will make the
most of the canvas of opportunity
that they are offered and they will
paint the goals that they aspire to. I
have no doubt that if they remain
motivated in the classroom, then
they will achieve their goals. Their
education is sound, creative and
innovative and [insert name of
school] , together with the parents
and the students themselves, will
help to make this a reality.
Help! Four letters that can mean so
much. Four letters that can be seen
as a dynamic, planned action - or as
a plea!
This year, the Parents Association
will continue to tirelessly take
action to help raise funds for [insert
name of school] . The Board of
Governors will continue to take
action to help strategically plan
towards ensuring an educationally
sound and innovative future for our
School.
The teachers at [insert name of
school] will take action and help the
students to achieve academic,
sporting, cultural and life-long
learning. May I take this
opportunity to thank the teachers
for their continued professionalism,
excellence and dedication. It is your
teacher motivation and motivation
in the classroom that will help to
create a year that is bright with
embraced opportunities.
However, even more importantly,
the students themselves will have to
take action to further their
education. Our young ladies and
gentlemen too are beginning to
realize that they cannot merely sit
back and expect the greater School
community to do everything for
them - they are realizing the
importance of self-motivation and
are prepared to help themselves.
It is an appeal that we make to our
young charges today. Help
yourselves! Make the most of the
fantastic educational opportunities
that you have. Throw as much paint
as you can on to the canvas of your
education this year. If you can do
that, then one day, you will be in a
position to respond to the pleas of
others who may need your help!
Help! Four letters that mean so
much. You must help yourselves so
that ultimately you can help others.
Each young lady and gentleman here
today, in their own way, will need to
help. You will need to help your
family. You will need to help the
environment. You will need to make
sense of the world when sense and
reason go missing. You will need to
help solve problems through
innovation and invention. And, you
will need to help turn indifference
into motivated, helpful action.
This is our goal as the year at [insert
name of school] commences! Let's
continue to work together to help
each other to be our best for the
world! Good luck
