Principals Message

The character of a person can be judged by the type of values he has imbibed from his family, school and society. In today's world of nuclear families, materialism and tremendous exposure to media, good values are slowly vanishing from our system. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the family and school which play a major role in inculcating values in a child are not in conflict with each other but support one another, Besides, it must also be kept In mind that values are caught rather than taught. The best values can be passed onto these impressionable children through examples in our own lives.

Honesty is the best policy. We should be honest in our dealings with one another. One should not cheat during exams. It is better to fail and work up later than to acquire marks which you do not really deserve by copying from students who have been sincere and hardworking. Cheating brings out the worst in you. It makes you sly, furtive, lazy, fearful and also insecure. The truth should be spoken at all times. It is easier to remember the truth than a hundred lies. People will respect you for it. Students should inculcate the dignity of labour, be conscious about the importance of health and hygiene and overall cleanliness. We should never develop the habit of dirtying our surroundings and expecting others to keep it clean for us. Abroad, people are fined heavily for this. No wonder their cities are clean! Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Hence, we should involve children in maintaining cleanliness at home and in school. They learn to become responsible, self-reliant and careful of how they keep their belongings.

Parents, teachers and all elders should be shown respect without any discrimination. If you respect others, others will respect you. We should be careful about the way we talk and behave with our parents, teachers and elders. Politeness, courtesy, obedience and service to them are values that should be cultivated. It is better to appreciate than to be criticalit spreads a feeling of positivity.

Punctuality, regularity, gratitude, sense of justice are some more good values worth depositing in our treasury of character. Dear parents, let us introspect and check if we are imparting the right values to our children. We need to ensure that students with good :haracter are released into society. As it is said, if character is lost, everything is lost.' Our 'anon needs men of good character and ntegrity.
