Vision & Mission
Our Motto
‘Virtus in Arduo’ - Excellence Through Hardship
The life of our patron saint St. Paul, “with far greater labours, far more imprisonment, with countless floggings and often near death. On frequent journeys, danger at sea, in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked” (2 Corinthians 11:23-27) is the perfect example of excellence achieved through hardships.
Facing all competition, students should attain their goals and prove themselves transcendent even during hardship and adversities, keeping their morale high with a positive attitude. Under the shadow of divine grace, they should always be willing to co-operate with the plans of God for them. Instead of taking credit for their abilities, students should dedicate it to the omnipotent and take pride in doing so.
“Whoever wants to boast must boast about what the Lord has done. For it is when the Lord thinks well of a person that he is really approved and not when he thinks well of himself.”
Our Vision
The integral development of the whole person to prepare individuals for a fulfilling life in this world and for their eternal destiny. For, it is in and through education that one can hope for a more human and humane future and a more harmonious society.
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster the holistic development of every student by cultivating intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of personal discipline. We achieve this by providing a challenging, supportive, and structured learning environment that encourages critical thinking, accountability, and respect for all.
We are committed to nurturing well-rounded and resilient individuals who possess the self-discipline to navigate challenges and the empathy to contribute meaningfully to society. Through a balanced curriculum, we prepare students for a lifetime of learning and leadership.
Action Plan
As the mission statement of the school ultimately aims at creating a positive impact on our environment, it benefits the society at large. Paulians embark on this mission seeking the blessings of the Almighty and the cooperation of all — students, staff, parents, and the people around us.
In order to fulfill the mission of the school for the next three years, a tangible and feasible plan of action has been formulated. The action plan is based on a step-by-step approach so that it yields lasting results. Activities and programs of the school will be planned with the mission in focus.
- 📌 Year 1: Focus on immediate surroundings — classroom and home.
- 📌 Year 2: Expand focus to the school campus and nearby streets.
- 📌 Year 3: Implement activities to make the entire town eco-conscious and green.
