For St. Francis School Madhira the Investiture ceremony signifies the reliance and confidence that the school consigns in the newly invested office bearers. It is not for titles but to confer responsibilities to the students, to take charge of the school and take it to the height they desire, with their leadership and decision making skills, teamwork and communication. The school student Council is formed after close scrutiny, consultation and selection which give them a feel of functioning of an official administrative body. The selected students are honoured with their respective badges such as Head Girl, Head Boy, Sport Captain and the student council members take an oath to faithfully work for the school. Sr. Lillykutty Attappattu, the School Principal, encourages the leaders to put in honest efforts for every endeavor and become an inspiration for others.
