Remember that we have been created in order to love
and serve God, our Creator, and that all learning and
wealth in this world amount to nothing without the
fear of God on which our temporal and eternal
welfare depends.
Give glory to God for whatever learning you have for
He is the Author of every good. Do not glory in any
ability.
Give yourself to the practice of virtue while you are
young. The virtues to be cultivated most are modesty
( purity), humility, obedience and Kindness.
By modesty is meant a proper and decent manner of
speaking and acting. This virtue is one of the best
ornaments of our age. The following evils draw God's
anger upon us. But if we keep away these evils from
us. God will never fail us and will surely give us his
blessings.
The taking of the name of God in vain:
Impurity in thought word or deed.
Stealing.
Attitude to School
Children should look upon their schoolmates as brothers/
sisters and upon their teachers/ superiors as mothers/
fathers.
Respect every teacher whether of your own class or not.
Be grateful towards those who taught you in the past.
Show your teachers those exterior signs of reverence to
which they are entitled, such as greeting them whenever
you meet them.
Be convinced that your teachers deeply feel their serious
obligation of promoting your welfare in the best way
they possibly can, and that in advising, commanding and
correcting you they have nothing else in view than your
own good.
After piety study is most praiseworthy. Therefore your
first occupation must consist in doing the tasks assigned
to you by your teachers.
Always rise when your teachers enter the class and again
when they leave. If they delay in coming, do not make
any noise, but wait for them in your places in silence
reviewing your lessons or reading some good book.
During class, avoid whispering or interrupting.
Attitude to Schoolmates
Strive to edify your schoolmates by your good example at
all times. In fact no sermon is more efficacious than good
example.
Never make fun of those who are backward in their
studies or not so quick to grasp their lessons. Let there be
no ridiculing of anyone on account of his/ her physical
defects. What you laugh at or despise in other may
someday befall you.
Gladly help one another. At recreation make no
distinction in the choice of your companions. Let no one
be slighted in any game and let there be no selfishness. If
there be need to make a sacrifice for the sake of the team
let it be made cheerfully
When you are asked by a Superior regarding the conduct
of some of your companions, answer to the best of your
knowledge especially when it is a matter of preventing or
remedying some evil. To be silent would not be beneficial
to your companions and would be offensive to God.
Always avoid exaggeration and speak truthfully.
Always rise when your teachers enter the class and again
when they leave. If they delay in coming, do not make
any noise, but wait for them in your places in silence
reviewing your lessons or reading some good book.
During class, avoid whispering or interrupting.
Behaviour at School
To write or draw on the blackboard (except when called
upon to do so), to write words offensive to anyone, to soil
walls or maps or anything else are things absolutely to be
avoided.
Take care or your textbooks, note books and other
belongings. Beware of appropriating your neighbour's
property even if it be the smallest thing. Should you find a
lost article give it at once to the Principal/ Superior.
Keep the floor clean by allowing no paper or ink to fall on
it.
Cleanliness and purity of soul are reflected by a clean and
neat exterior.
Behaviour Outside School
Speak no ill of your school mates or of the discipline or of
management of the school. Everyone is perfectly free to
continue or not to continue in the school.
Always speak well of your school and of your teachers.
