School Crest
Our school badge is meant for all Canossian Schools. On a dark-blue background there shines a four-pointed star with rays cast on to a book symbolizing 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 right 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. The Crown above the crest symbolises the Supremacy of God over all and All for the Glory of God.
