Principal's Message
The true education should lead to perfection which is our universal call (Mt 5:48). It helps to manifest and develop the power, abilities, and the potential which the individual already has, as given by our Creator. This can be achieved by following our school motto: Conscience – Science – Excellence.
By conscience, we understand a person's moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behavior. It is commonly said that “Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul”. This calls everyone to form a good conscience by following God’s commandments and other rules and regulations which govern the society and listening to the voice of God which talks to us in many forms.
By science, we call upon students to master what they learn in class and even outside the class and apply in their daily life what they have learned, responding to the competence-based curriculum. Indeed, the true learning happens when there is change in behavior.
By virtue of excellence, we excel in everything both in curricular and extracurricular activities. this can be justified by observing the performance in national examinations results and many other competitions we attend. Besides, those who finish in our school are appreciated on job market since our school is known for good discipline.
To conclude, I call upon everyone to respond the call of perfection through excellence in moral virtues and our studies. This cannot be achieved by our own efforts, but by the grace of God.
