without distinction of Caste or Creed. Catholic pupils are given religious instruction. Moral instruction is compulsory for all the other students. At the end of each term there will be an examination in moral science and religious instruction. Through religious and moral education we try to inculcate in the students strong moral values and attitudes which in turn will help to form future women of sound character. So our aim is to give to the students an all-round development, Spiritual, Moral Academic & Social.

Pupils are divided into four houses: St.Joseph’s , St.Mary’s, St.Savio’s and St. Goretti’s.
