Motto - “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD”
Emblem
Our school motto is “You are the light of the world”, which is imbibed from the Holy Bible ( Mathew 5:14). Children/ students are the light of the society. They come with a lot of potentialities that, like clay, need to be moulded, transformed and perfected to be beacons of hope and light in the world. In our context, our motto conveys that idea of refinement, polishing, completeness, perfection and encapsulates the meaning of moulding, transforming, cultivating and sanctifying. Thus, our motto and the emblem take a holistic and integral approach: developing the physical, psychological, intellectual and spiritual aspects of one’s personality. Through imparting knowledge, excellence, values, empowerment towards liberation and national integration, teachers exercise their ‘midwifery’ function of education (to lead out), bringing about a new birth by transforming the raw, natural, ordinary material into something polished, beautiful, cultured and perfect one.
