We have a well furnished rich data centre. Students can access the data centre and avail its facilities.

Library

Our library plays a significant role in providing information to students in the academic field. The books stored on the shelves of libraries are the source of wisdom and knowledge. The digital world, with the capabilities of smartphones, tablets, and computers cannot be stored on the shelves of books since these books hold a special spot in the hearts of readers and students.

The library helps students understand their own culture and exposes them to other cultures, gives them the most recent information, and exposes students to fresh ideas, literature, and ideas, making their awareness of the history and geography of both the near and far regions. Libraries are an essential tool for establishing desirable study habits among students. Libraries also play an essential role in improving the effectiveness of teachers and their teaching performance in the classroom.

Education does not solely occur in classrooms and from books. The purpose of education is to make a person succeed in life. At St. Joseph’s Convent School, we give prime importance to leaning life skills.

Life skills are the skill set that enable people to live happy and meaningful lives and reach their potential. People who have sufficient life skills flourish. A meaningful life is achieved through mental well being, self-awareness, skills for appreciating humanity in others as well as working towards well being in one’s community. Our goal is also to decrease human suffering through the mercy approach.

Here are some examples:

• Time management
• Money management
• Housekeeping
• Communication
• Positive self-image development
• Growth mindset and self-improvement
• Stress management

Most children fail to achieve greater goals through education, just because the present education system does not interest them. They feel education as a burden. St Joseph’s Convent School makes education interesting by incorporating play and fun activities in education.

In the initial phase and primary section we use a lot of Montessori methods and focus on encouraging children to learn through “meaningful play.”

Meaningful play” has five characteristics:

1. Gives the child a choice about what he or she wants to do
2. Feels fun and enjoyable for the child
3. Evolves spontaneously, rather than giving kids a script to follow
4. Is driven by intrinsic motivation about what the child wants to do
5. Creates a risk-free environment where kids can experiment and try new ideas.

In meaningful play, children are active participants. For example, instead of passively taking in a lesson, children take on roles alongside their peers and respond to the other children according to the rules of play that they’ve created.

While “rules” may seem counterintuitive to the idea of free, voluntary play, a system of mental rules is actually one of the other key features of play. Children may state these explicitly, form them collaboratively or follow a selected leader, or have an inherent sense of what governs the terms of their playful engagement. This active, pleasurable negotiation of rules and symbols can offer a number of learning benefits.

St Joseph’s Convent School imparts education from Nursery to 6th standard and is expected to develop further standards each year till it reaches 10, +2. All students seeking new admissions are required to get their names registered at the school Admissions Office.

In our Teacher’s Development Programme, teachers can improve their skills and, in turn, boost student outcomes. We conduct these trainings both in formal and informal settings. The activities include conferences, courses, seminars, and workshops. Informal opportunities for teacher professional development include independent research or investigation, peer learning initiatives or even just chatting with a colleague in the staff room.
