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.

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

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.

Among the various objectives and initiatives Mercy Foundation undertakes, education gets prime importance. Modern education is a process of learning from real-life experiences as well as by sensing the various happenings in our society. Only in this way does education become relevant to everyday life. Individuals must be provided with educational possibilities in order to fully develop their identities.

St Joseph’s Convent School is located in one of the remotest rural areas of Punjab. The local demographics include 28 percent of people belonging to backward classes. More than 30% of people cannot even think of high quality English education. Our aim is to provide as much opportunity to talented and aspiring students and their families. We become happy when they have a smile on their face.

Problems of equality of Educational Opportunities:

The reasons which create inequality of educational opportunities in our area are:

• Economic conditions of the family.
• Gender disparities.
• Domestic problems including male irresponsibility.
• Social reasons including caste bias.
• Non-availability of adequate opportunities and educational facilities.

Here are some reports that appeared in the news media.

Parents shall have to produce:

• Original birth certificate issued by the registrar (birth and death) or other concerned authorities.
• Copy of Aadhar Card of student.
• Copy of Aadhar Card of both parents.
• Caste Certificate if applicable.
• Income certificate of both parents if concession is applied for.
• Any other relevant documents mentioned in the admission form of the school.
• Passport size profile photo of student and parents.

Assessment

Students seeking admission in UKG and above will be assessed through creative techniques. If only they pass the assessment criteria they will secure the admission.

Parents will be interviewed and counseled at the time of admissions of any student for any class.

Withdrawals and Expulsions

Applications for withdrawals should be sent in writing to the principal by the parents of the students a month earlier. Caution money will be released only after all dues, and other relevant things such as library books are returned to the relevant departments.
The principal has every right to expel any student found guilty of grave misconduct, irregular attendance and unsatisfactory academic performance. Principal’s decisions will be final.

A student leaving the school must apply for school leaving certificate within the month of leaving the school, failing which the refundable deposit shall be forfeited.
