Principal's Message
From the Principal’s Desk
A good education is a foundation for a better future. Father John Peter Medaille, Our Founder, believed that the core of education is to inculcate values in seekers of knowledge. Principles of Compassion, Commitment, Conscience, Competence, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Care for the Mother Earth and the Cosmos, form the reason d’etre of education. We, at St. Joseph’s High School (English Medium) believe that education is more than attaining “bookish knowledge.” We believe in education that is oriented towards the holistic formation of an individual. It focuses the development of mind, heart, body and spirit. Instilling religious and moral values is fundamental to education, we believe. Education imparted in our school develops the spiritual, intellectual, social, aesthetic and physical abilities of students, so that they can become mature adults who would contribute their talents and skills for the welfare of family, society, nation and humanity. We affirm that every child is unique and is a miracle that is born with enormous potential. We encourage and promote a perfect harmony between Academic, Social and Emotional Learning. This harmony is the key for the holistic development of our children. It results in developing their academic skills, making right choices in life and preparing them well to face the future, leading them to shoulder leadership responsibilities in life.
Leadership traits such as self-awareness, self-management, social-awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making are instilled in our students from a very young age. Josephites are encouraged to strive for excellence in whatever task they are entrusted with. A focus on excellence means striving for quality in all that they do by manoeuvring innate abilities and available opportunities. A commitment to excellence brings one closer to living it well and to attaining the dreams. We follow Our Motto which is Live in the Light by making them academically accomplished, athletically vibrant, morally strong and socially sensitive, thus being a light in the society. Guided by a vision “Empower to Excel in the Emerging World,” and lighted by a passion for excellence, we accelerate towards progress. Thus, we accomplish our Mission of providing safe and learning experience to discover and develop potentials for an integral development to be responsible citizens.
