Sports Day Welcome Speech by Principal 1

Warm Greetings Everyone and especially to my dear students! It’s the 10th annual sports meet of our school and me – Mrs …….. – the principal of this school feel excited, like ever before to see our students perform in their specialized sports.

I have always believed that extra-curricular activities should be an indispensable part of every student’s life, especially during his/her early academic years. As it is said that a sound mind lies in a sound body and so I want all the students of my school to be good at both studies and sports. So far I am extremely proud of what my students have achieved in the field of sports and I am sure you all will agree to the fact that it helps you in staying healthy and fit.

I would like to congratulate all those students who achieved victory in the zonal competition and also those who lost, even because they showed a great perseverance on the field and gave a really tough competition to other teams. Of course, a big congratulation to all the faculty members, as without your hard work and support, nothing would have been possible and our students wouldn’t have been able to excel in their respective area of sports. I wish everyone all the very best for other future sports competitions and I sincerely hope that you continue to bring glory to our school, and we as a school, also continue to keep up with the tradition of celebrating Annual Sports Day.

Besides, I want to shift my attention to those students who do not come to the forefront and remain confined to merely studies. A humble request to all the teachers, i.e. help these students identify their hidden talent and help them in shaping their talent to the best of their capacity.

Now that our guest of honor, Mr.………, the famous swimmer is amongst us, I would like to welcome him with a huge round of applause and honor with a bouquet. I am sure he needs no introduction after his recent spectacular performance in the Olympiad. We feel extremely honored to have you here as our chief guest and we promise you an amazing time here with our students. You are truly an inspirational personality for all of us as at such a young age of 29, you have been able to bring silver medals to our country.

On this auspicious day, I would request you to take a few minutes session of our students and share your wealth of knowledge with them. This would be very encouraging for them.

But before all this, let’s get started with our today’s events, in which our students would be displaying their sports skills sets, both in a team and individually as well. I hope those sitting in the audience will have a great time watching our students perform.

Now on this note, I would also like to take my seat and let our students take over the stage.

Thank You All!

 

Sports Day Welcome Speech by Principal 2

Warm Greetings of the Day Everyone! I – Sormishtha Chattopadhyay – the principal of this school feel extremely glad to have been welcoming you all to the 18th annual sports day meet in the auditorium.

I have been the principal of this school from past 7 years and I have literally seen it progress in front of my eyes, so my happiness knows no bounds when I see our students performing well in both academics and sports. And today being the sports day, I would like to celebrate the victory of our students in the given field of sports.

In the present time, we have our students excelling in varied sports, such as cricket, football, basket ball, hockey and kabbadi. The dream which seemed so difficult yesterday is being fulfilled now and the credit of course goes to our teachers and students, who put their best foot forward during the practice sessions.

Year after year, our students are making us feel proud and this fills me with enough gusto to provide you all with the best of facilities so that you can flourish up to your maximum capacity. However, all this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our teachers and parents. Hence, I on behalf of the entire school express gratitude and a note of thank you to all the teachers and dear parents for constantly working for the betterment of their wards and inculcating in them the right values and skills.

Very soon our guest of honor, Mrs. ………, the famous basketball player will be amongst us who is not only a popular sports personality, but is also a social activist who has opened a sports academy for the underprivileged children, in the city of Chandigarh. She is an inspiration for our youth and there is a lot to learn from her.

Meanwhile, I would request our audience to remain seated and keep patience. In order to engage your attention, we have the performances of our students lined up, who would be showcasing their skill set on the stage. Secondly, there would be the award giving ceremony wherein we would be honoring our teachers and students for showing impeccable dedication in their respective areas. These awards are a great source of motivation and inspire us to work even harder and make everyone proud.

Today whatever height our school has reached, it is owing to the relentless efforts of each one of us. Right from the admin department to the teachers to our students – everyone has an important role to play towards paving the path of success for our school.

Now, with this I would like to conclude my speech and invite the host of today’s events to take over and kick start the events. Thank you all for being such a wonderful audience and for listening to me so patiently.

I hope you all have a wonderful time here with all of us.

Cheers!

 

Sports Day Welcome Speech by Principal 3

Greetings Dear Students – A warm welcome to all of you! I would also like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to our teachers of physical education as it is owing to their dedicated efforts in the training of our students, while ensuring their physical as well as mental health, that they truly deserve words of appreciation as well as recognition.

So as you know why we all have gathered here and what is so special about today. Today being the Sports Day – I am sure one of the favorite days for all the students is what gives me an even greater pleasure to host a gathering on the Sports Day and organize some activities suited to the interest of the students as well as teachers.

Clearly, the sports day celebration shows our commitment that all of us have towards sports. The testimony of which is our students, who perform with great exuberance in all the given sports whether it’s cricket, basketball, volleyball and kabbadi, to name a few. Their performances have always been spectacular in all the zonal, state and national level competitions. All that we inculcate in our students is the spirit of sportsmanship and never give up spirit.

On this note, I would like to share with you all, a quote of Jesse Owens – the great American athlete who bagged four gold medals in the Summer Olympics of 1936 held in Berlin, Germany. He made a great statement, which says “Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, but friends gather no dust.”

This is very much understood that each one of you tries to showcase or exhibit your talent on the field, especially against your opponent from the competitor’s team. But I will still encourage you, as always, to make the most of such opportunities in order to display the best of your aesthetic talent as well as the spirit of camaraderie.

On this auspicious occasion, I would like to shower praise and congratulate the entire sports team of our school along with their trainers to have worked rigorously on the fields. The efforts of both our students and teachers are so evident and it has raised the overall standard of our performances and stamina of our students. I am sure we all will agree to the fact that sports make us healthy and strong and also teach us to embrace both victory as well as defeat gracefully. Such lessons, I sternly believe, should be continuously taught to our students as they at a later stage lead to the building blocks of achievement in life.

With this I would like to end my speech and kick start with the ceremony. I would like to wish all the best to our participants and we all look forward to your performances. Thank you for patiently listening to me and being such a wonderful audience. Hope you have a wonderful experience here!

Thank You!


 

Sports Day Welcome Speech by Principal 4

Good Morning our respected Vice Principal, Teachers as well as Dear Students – I hope this day finds you in the best of spirit!

I, Dr. ………. – the principal, of this school welcome you all to the 16th sports day meet in our school. It gives me immense pleasure to have seeing you all together and celebrating this yet another auspicious meet as well as the achievements of our students in various competitions.

There is a famous proverb, which says, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” This is indeed a very true saying as we all realize the importance of playful activities in our lives, right! Without any activity or sports, our body becomes lethargic and laid back. In fact, our body starts harboring various illnesses and start ageing fast. It therefore becomes very important to remain engaged in some sport or the other. Clearly, with the help of sports we gain both mental and physical strength. Also, our body remains healthy and fit.

This is the reason why I and my school administration lay special emphasis on sport activities and on organizing sports day every year. All our students and in fact our teaching staff look forward to such activities including hurdle race, flat race, long jump, high jump, etc. Through activities such as these we get to see the talent of our students and realize different strengths of our students as one students may be good at one particular sport, the other would be in something else, and a few would be the all-rounders.

We are proud that our school lays emphasis on the overall growth of the students – their physical as well as intellectual development. I hope we could lay a strong foundation of our students and seen them perform well in all the spheres of life. It is very important to identify the hidden talent of our students and help them in honing those skills that they naturally possess. Our school, in the past decade has achieved significantly in this regard, so much so that the name of school is widely known today and is counted amongst the best schools.

With this I conclude my speech and would like to invite on stage two of our students, Akanksha Chaturvedi and Abhishek Avasthi, to host today’s show. Before taking my seat, I would like to make a small announcement that towards the end of the sports activities, there will be an award ceremony in order to felicitate our winner students and of course the teachers who have worked really very hard for our students.

In the end, lunch will be served; therefore, I would request all the guests as well as students to collect your coupon on time. I hope you all have the best of time here.

Thank you for being such a lovely audience!

Cheers!
