Pulse Forum Investiture Ceremony 2026

Excel International School proudly marked an important occasion in its student leadership calendar with the Pulse Forum Investiture Ceremony, held under the theme “Many Voices, One Vision, One School.”

The ceremony formally welcomed the newly appointed student leaders and celebrated their commitment to serving as responsible representatives of the student body.

The occasion was honoured by the presence of Chairman, Mr. Arshad Sharief, and Principal, Mr. Leonard Murphy, accompanied by his wife, Ms. Chritel Murphy, together with members of the Senior Leadership Team, Middle Leaders, staff, students, and the wider Excel International School community.

The ceremony provided a distinguished platform for the newly elected Pulse Forum members to formally assume their leadership responsibilities. The presentation of leadership badges and sashes marked a significant moment as students accepted their roles in representing and supporting their peers across key areas including National Identity, Student Well-being, Kindness, Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability, and Sports.

Throughout the ceremony, emphasis was placed on the values that underpin purposeful student leadership, including responsibility, integrity, active listening, collaboration, and leading by example. The newly appointed leaders were encouraged to use their voices constructively, represent the ideas of their peers, and contribute positively to school life.

Bringing together the wider school community, the investiture marked the beginning of a new chapter in student leadership at Excel International School. Guided by the message “Every voice matters, every idea counts, and together we move forward as one,” the Pulse Forum embarks on its role with a clear sense of responsibility and purpose, contributing to a school environment where students are encouraged to participate, lead, and make a meaningful difference.
