On 16 April 2025, SAI International Residential School observed World Voice Day through a thought-provoking and heartwarming morning assembly centred around the theme “Empower Your Voice – A Celebration of Vocal Health and Communication.” The celebration brought to light the profound role our voices play in fostering self-expression, compassion, and positive change in the world around us.
The assembly began on a serene note with a soulful prayer, setting a reflective and purposeful tone for the day. Students then introduced the Word of the Day – “Articulate,” emphasising its vital role in effective communication. This was followed by a powerful Thought of the Day that urged everyone to “speak with kindness and sing with passion,” beautifully aligning with the day’s theme.
One of the highlights of the event was a moving skit, creatively enacted by students, that depicted real-life situations where individuals used their voices with clarity, confidence, and courage to spark positive change. The skit not only showcased the importance of vocal expression but also encouraged empathy, understanding, and action. Adding a harmonious touch to the assembly was a soul-stirring choir performance, which echoed the essence of vocal empowerment and emotional connection. The performance left a lasting impression on the audience, reminding everyone of the ability of music and voice to unite and heal. The celebration concluded with the National Pledge, followed by a collective reaffirmation by all present to use their voices with integrity, responsibility, and empathy.
At SAI International Residential School, events like World Voice Day serve as powerful reminders of the values we uphold—confidence, compassion, and communication. As we continue to guide our students on their journeys, we encourage them to use their voices wisely, courageously, and with purpose. Let us all continue to cherish and empower our voices, for within them lies the power to inspire change.
