A Center of Excellence for the education of children with hearing loss
Canossian School
OUR VISION
OUR MISSION
To nurture and empower Canossians through the Formation of the Heart, to be persons of integrity, committed to God and serving others with hope and joy.
OUR VALUES
The core values that guide the educative process at Canossian School are based on the Canossian values of Commitment, Compassion and Cheerfulness. These values are taught explicitly through the Values Education programme at the school. Ongoing masses and faith formation sessions allow pupils to explore and grow in their understanding of their own faith with confidence and commitment to living a moral life.
The values are also imbibed by students through the daily practices and community outreach projects that our students design and implement on a yearly basis. These values shape the Canossian graduand that the school aims to develop, students who strive to do their best in all endeavours and who live their lives in the service of others.
OUR MOTTO
VIA, VERITAS, VITA (The Way, The Truth, The Life)
Our motto draws its inspiration from Jesus Christ. We take Him as our model and seek to follow in His footsteps.
Via (The Way)
We walk confidently and joyfully on the path of life, overcoming all difficulties with fortitude and prayer.
Veritas (The Truth)
We are sincere in word, deed and action.
We are open to truth and knowledge.
Vita (The Life)
We live for others, ready to share, serve and sacrifice for others.
OUR CREST
Our school crest is meant for all Canossian schools. On a dark-blue background, there shines a four-pointed star with rays cast onto a book symbolising the Star of Wisdom radiating on Knowledge.
The star is a symbol of lofty ideas stirring a person to great and noble deeds.
The star represents four basic social virtues – Truth, Justice, Love and Freedom.
TRUTH
Sincerity in words and deeds, simplicity, straightforwardness.
JUSTICE
Honesty, fairness, respect for the rights of others.
LOVE
We are the children of the same Father in heaven. Hence, readiness to help and share with others.
FREEDOM
Mutual tolerance and consideration for the principles of others.
SCHOOL CREED
As a Canossian pupil,
I will go hand in hand with my fellow school mates
to make the school the best place
for learning, working and playing together.
I will serve in a humble way,
like our foundress, St Magdalene
and offer my love, care and concern
to everyone in need
I will prepare myself
to serve God, my country and family.
OUR SCHOOL SONG
United in common endeavour
At work, at play, life’s lessons we learn
Our youthful hearts are filled with ardour
For truth and wisdom we yearn
Chorus:
Courageously with heads held high
We march ever on through life
Schooled in your spirit, Canossa
For virtue, true nobility, we strive
Schooled in your spirit, Canossa
For true virtue we strive
Our alma mater, our guardian, our guide
Prepare our spirits for duty’s call
Our country to serve with virtuous might
We stand for truth and for right.
