Vox - Your take on prize-giving ceremonies at school

As the academic year draws to a close, prize-giving ceremonies are on the agendas of many schools to reward learners and teachers for fruitful year. The Zone spoke to learners at Nuuyoma Secondary School in Oshikuku to find out their take on these ceremonies and why they should be held.

In my opinion, I think prize-giving ceremonies should be held at schools to motivate learners and build a better version of themselves. It is always a wonderful experience to witness greatness.

Prize-giving ceremonies are an opportunity for parents to come and witness their children’s success. Learners also feel good when awarded for their hard work and it encourages others to work just as hard.

It is always inspirational when success stories are told. Hard work should be rewarded and the events are always filled with joy and happiness. Parents are also happy to see how well their children have performed during the year.

For those who did not manage to work hard, they will always be inspired and encouraged to be in the same position as those who were awarded. Sometimes, we all need an extra push so we continue to work hard.

Hard workers need a day of appreciation to thank them. Teachers are also given the platform to be awarded as they also play an equal role in producing good results.

In my opinion, prize-giving ceremonies are very important in schools because they serve as a motivation to learners for them to excel academically. They also show how teachers and learners have worked hard to obtain quality symbols.
