  • Through striving after excellence in learning, creative and practical thinking and co-operative leadership, with a stress on both academic excellence and human excellence
  • Inspired by genuine religious and moral values
  • With a practical awareness of the prevailing social conditions with commitment to the cause of justice
Thus an Aloysian
  • has a commitment to justice
  • acts from a strong self-concept
  • thinks critically and creatively
  • communicates effectively
  • excercises power appropriately
  • cultivates a positive sense of direction
  • evokes hope
Your education in this Institution will be meaningful only to the extent you personalize and strive after these goals.  All that the College can do is to assist you to realize your hidden potential, be a partner with you in the task of integral personality-building, where your faculties and qualities will find harmonious development.  This entails development in a three-fold sphere: intellectual, physical and spiritual.

Intellectual Development

The development of your mind, the gathering of information in the different subjects of study, digesting this information and putting it into a practical frame will be the major part of your education here.  Let your aim of study be not just to successfully reproduce in an examination what you have learnt, but to cultivate the art of thinking for yourself, of thinking analytically and critically and expressing yourself clearly.

Do not limit yourself to class material.  Go deeper into the subject by regular study and wide reading.  At the same time broaden your mental horizons by getting a working knowledge of at least two or three languages.  All students would do well to acquire some general knowledge of scientific theories and technological innovations.
   
Learning requires regular work.  Have a timetable for your study and keep abreast of the material being covered in class.  The College has a library of over 14,000 books and a reading room.  Make good use of the library particularly during your free hours.  Your librarian and lecturers will help you to select the right books if you approach them.

Physical Development

“A sound mind rests in a sound body”, is an ancient adage which is true even today.  It is important that you develop your physical powers along with the intellectual, chiefly during the formative years.

There are limitations. Your job may not allow you the time needed for physical conditioning or when you come to College you may be very tired or the College may not be able to keep open games facilities beyond the evening hours, when you have classes.  On Sundays, however, the grounds are available if games and tournaments can be organised.

Spiritual Development

Being an Institution run by a religious group, great importance is given here to spiritual formation and character development. Ultimately a person is what his spiritual and moral values are, and the aspect of your education that you will carry with you all your life will be this.

Each week, time is allotted in class for Value Education.  Besides, talks are organised on inter-religious topics.  Catholic students have periodic masses and an annual retreat.

Your character is a composite of your values, attitudes and dealings and relations with others, and the way you face the problems and challenges of life.  The time in College is the period when you have to build up your value system: honesty, justice, co-operation, fellowship and concern for others, belief in and a filial devotion to God and universal love that embraces all people cutting across barriers of religion or caste or nationality.

Essential to any spiritual and value formation is self-discipline.  That is the systematic effort to channelize your impulses, emotions and feelings to their proper end and make them a power for good.  Lack of discipline results in confusion and chaos, both internal and external, personal and social, where no true education is possible.  The rules of discipline of the College will help you cultivate interior self-discipline if you interiorize them in the right spirit.

A habit of regular prayer and meditation is earnestly recommended to all.  The College has a beautiful chapel where everyone is welcome to sit in meditation or spend a few moments of quiet or glance through Bro. Moscheni’s paintings.
