ABOUT SAINT CLARET HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL

Saint Claret Higher Secondary School (SCHSS), was established in 2005 by the

Claretian Fathers with an aim of providing holistic and quality education to the students of

the area. The Claretian Congregation is an international society of Priest, Brothers and

Sisters working in 64 countries. Claretian Fathers are rendering their services in various

parts of India too.

In its foundation, Saint Claret School is influenced by the educational vision of

St. Anthony Mary Claret, a Catholic Saint of the 19th Century Spain and Founder of the

Congregation of the Claretian Missionary Fathers, who tried all possible means to impart

positive values to the lives of people to effect holistic transformation.

St. Anthony Mary Claret was born in Catalonia, the northeastern corner of Spain,

in a town called Sallent on December 23, 1807. He was the fifth son of Juan Claret and

Josefa Clará's eleven children. He was ordained a priest at 27 years of age and was

assigned to his hometown parish. Claret began preaching popular missions all over.

He traveled on foot, attracting large crowds with his sermons.

The secret of his missionary success was LOVE.

His popularity spread; people sought him for spiritual and physical healing. On July

16, 1849, he gathered a group of priests who shared his dream. This is the beginning of

the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, today also known as Claretian

Fathers and Brothers. He was concerned for all aspects of human development and

applied his great creativity to improve the conditions of the people under his pastoral care.

Among his great initiatives were: trade or vocational schools for disadvantaged

children and credit unions for the use of the poor. He wrote books about rural spirituality

and agricultural methods, which he himself tested first. He visited jails and hospitals,

defended the oppressed and denounced racism. Claret died on October 24, 1870 at the

age of 62. As his last request, he dictated to his missionaries the words that are to appear

on his tombstone: "I have loved justice and hated iniquity; therefore I die in exile." His

remains are venerated in Vic. Claret was beatified in 1934 and in 1950 canonized by Pope

Pius XII.

The VISION of SCHSS is to promote educational excellence, leadership and service

based on universal love and brotherhood in an environment characterized by respect for


the individual and concern for the community, to strive to foster positive valuses based on

the pursuit of truth in the lives of our students to effect holistic transformation within them.

The MISSION of SCHSS is to form intellectually competent, professionally skilled,

spiritually evolved, morally upright, socially responsive and culturally tolerant citizens

through holistic Claretine education for the creation of a civilization of love. Based on this

mission the School improvises its objectives to live up to its motto “Education of

Transformation”.

protected environment to enable the students steer out of today's complex social

environment all around us.

3. Academic studies after the school hours are mostly carried out in the classrooms and

THE DAILY ROUTINE

1. Boarders (students living in hostels) are required to follow a pre-determined routine

from getting up in the morning to sleeping at night. This routine is prepared by the

school hostel on the basis of previous experiences. It is based on the assumption that

disciplined way of living is better than the undisciplined/erratic way of living. It is time

tested fact, accepted by everyone. It is the responsibility of the school to educate the

students about the importance of daily routine.

2. Education means the all-round development of the personality. Educationists believe

that success depends upon the life skills that we learn during our education in the

school. That is why we are very particular about the daily routine. Since, we are

responsible for 24×7 hours/days planning of students living in hostel, we are

emphasizing on the strict follow up of daily routine that teaches the boarders different

life skills which contribute a lot to their success in life.

13. HEALTHY HABITS AND UNHEALTHY HABITS

13.1. GETTING UP EARLY IN THE MORNING

Daily routine determined by SCSH requires the student living in hostel to get up early in

the morning. One needs to adopt it as a ritual without asking for reasons. It is the

experience of every right thinking person that we must get up early in the morning. No

second thought about it.

13.2. SLEEPING EARLY

Many students want to study up to late hours in the night. These are the students who don't

follow their daily routine strictly. It is not the number of hours but the quality of study that

matters. Every student requires 6 to 7 hours of sleep daily. This must be obtained between

10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Cutting short the sleep hours is going to affect student's health as well

as their alertness in the class.

13.3. DISADVANTAGES OF LATE NIGHT STUDY

a) Efficiency of learning is lowered.

b) Adversely affects both the mental and the physical health.

c) Adversely affects the alertness during the day.

13.4. DAILY EXERCISE

We fall ill when we lead undisciplined life and do not follow the daily routine and are not

careful about daily exercises, eating, sleeping etc. Irregular/erratic living is likely to lead to


illness. The daily exercise is must for everyone. If one wishes to be healthy, mentally as

well as physically fit, one must adopt daily exercises as a routine. Do not ask for reasons.

13.5. JUNK FOOD

Schools all over the world are being advised to educate the children to avoid junk food.

We can't be an exception. Boarders are advised to avoid junk food.

13.6. MAKING EXCUSES/TELLING LIES

Often, when a student is caught on the wrong foot he/she makes excuses and tells lies.

When the students do so, the school ultimately comes to know about it. It is better to

confess the guilt and mend one's ways rather than to continue making excuses or telling

lies. School tries to educate the students through different programs.

13.7. TV/GAMES/SPORTS/ENTERTAINMENT/HOBBY

In the hostel TV will be allowed to be used only as a source of education and not as a tool

for wasting time. Students/residents are advised to select games/sports for themselves

and use the same for introducing breaks in the daily routine and use them as a source of

entertainment. Every student must select game/sports/hobby and follow it up very faithfully.

School as well as hostel staff will help the students in doing so.
