5. Opening Speech for the Opening Day of a New School / College
Good evening to one and all who assemble here.

May I take this opportunity to welcome you all, and to extend a further word of welcome to everyone here this evening?

The Opening Day of our new School / College Name is certainly a moment that we should all value and enjoy. If you take a quick look around you, I'm sure you will all agree that our School College has come a long way in the last few months.

It all started as a dream of establishing a world class educational institution; a School / College that would mould and guide future generations of enlightened minds.

We would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to all those who made it possible for the dream to become a reality. Tonight marks this occasion - the Opening and Commencement Ceremony of our School / College.

However, our young ladies and gentlemen students too are beginning to realize the importance of self-motivation and are prepared to help themselves to further their education. I have no doubt that they will remain motivated in the classroom to achieve their goals.  Their education is sound, creative and innovative; and with their parents’ support they will make this a reality.

This year, the Parents Association will continue to tirelessly take action to help raise funds for [name of school]. The Managing Board will plan and work towards an educationally sound and innovative future for our School.

The teachers / faculties at [name of school / College ] will help the students to achieve academic, sporting, cultural and life-long learning. May I take this opportunity to thank the teachers for their continued professionalism, excellence and dedication? It is your motivation in the classroom that helps to create a year that is bright with opportunities.

You will help the students to solve their problems through innovation and invention. And, you will help the students to turn indifference into motivated, helpful action.

This is our goal as the year at [name of school / College] commences! Let's continue to work together to do our best for the world!

You are all most welcome to stay here this evening. I hope you enjoy the rest of the evening's program and thank you for sharing this special event with us.
