ABOUT US

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary’s involvement in education in India dates back to the foundation days of the Institute in 1877, in the Nilgiris. The idea of mass education, for girls of all classes and castes was alien to the ethos of Indian society of the 19th century. However, the efforts of missionaries to bring the benefits of education within the reach of the poorer sections found acceptance in the eyes of several reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Dayananda Saraswathi, who in turn began to advocate formal education for the masses irrespective of caste, creed and gender. It was in this context that our Foundress, Blessed Mary of the Passion encouraged her sisters to set up schools almost wherever they went in India. She ardently believed that education alone could enable Women to take their rightful place in the family and society as equal and respected partners of men. Among the 100s of FMM Institutions, Rosary Convent High School was the last school started by Mother Mary of the Passion. The FMM nuns’ persuasion to send their children to school and cajoling them not to deny their children the benefits of education, bore fruit.

The school started functioning in January1904 with just 60 students in Tamil medium and 50 in English Medium. In due course, Rosary Convent High School achieved name and fame and was recognized in the year 1925. In 2003 the school celebrated it’s Centenary with a yearlong celebration on 26th Jan, 2003and culminated with a Holy Mass and Valedictory Public Function in January, 2004.

Rosary Convent High School is a minority Institution run by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary who belong to the Catholic church. The school stands for character formation, academic excellence and the development of mind, soul and body. For almost 120 years, the school has stood the test of time, rendering yeoman service to the society, by nurturing and moulding the lives of scores of young girls and inspiring them to become confident women of the future.

SCHOOL MOTTO

The motto of the school is “To Love Through Truth”. This ideal is set before the pupils, who are trained to face the truth at all times, to live in sincerity and honesty. Thus, their genuineness will lead them to love all and to be loved by all. The teacher-pupil relationship which is fostered in our school is one of love, kindness, firmness, justice, sympathy and respect.

ROSARY SCHOOL SONG

CH: To the glory of God
And the honour of our school
We shall be loyal in work and play
And observe the Golden Rule
We are founded on the Rock
And the Rock is Jesus Christ
Not on sand that will sink with the passing time
We shall always love our school

1. We are taught to aim high,
  To reach for the stars and do our best
  To be honest in work and play
  And leave in God’s hand the rest

2. With a smile on every face
  A wish for the young, a wish for the old
  We treat all equal, that’s the rule
  And that is ROSARY SCHOOL

A LETTER TO PARENTS:

Dear Parents,

This handbook provides all information for the successful journey of your ward at Rosary. Therefore, read the instructions thoroughly and acknowledge your daughter’s academic development on a daily basis.
‘Home is the cradle of all values’
The foremost important values to be imbibed in children to be successful are ‘Punctuality & Regularity’. These values go a long way in achieving their goals.

Your encouragement will develop a positive outlook towards revitalizing your child’s academic and co-curricular activities. Our students are groomed to be future citizens, ready to shoulder the responsibility to build a prosperous and peaceful society.
Monitor the content of the social media that your daughter views as it robs them of their innocence and attracts negative influence. Please instruct and motivate your daughter to learn appropriate etiquette as she will reflect them wherever she is.
Let us, therefore, collaborate to set realistic standards and stand by our wards in their efforts to achieve them.

Wishing all the parents a fruitful and successful journey at Rosary.

Yours sincerely,

Principal
