Every Institution has its own motto to give it a special identity. This motto is inscribed within the emblem which is special to the school. A student studying at St. Joseph’s School must know the/her motto, the meaning of the school emblem and be worthy of it.

Inscribed within the shield are the words “VIRTUE ALONE ENNOBLES” What makes a girl / boy noble is not his/her education or the colour of the skin or the race to which he /she belongs. It is his/ her character. Character is formed by the practice of certain virtues. Inculcating these virtues is a life – long task. So a student of St. Joseph’s has to work at becoming noble all his/ her life. He /She cannot take a holiday from his work. Wherever he / she is, anywhere he /she goes and whatever he/she does, he /she must remember this important work of becoming noble through the practice of virtues. It is his/her prerogative to be kind, gentle, respectful, helpful, cheerful, hardworking and enthusiastic at all times. This is what makes him/her different from others. This is what makes him/her noble and noble and great.
