Our Vision

Nardini Convent offers sound Christian education in the Catholic tradition. This is given in a professional and caring manner so that the children may develop their God-given potential with a sense of dignity and pride. The School is committed to an all rounded educational approach and strives to instill Christian morals. It faithfully embraces this approach for all learners and staff alike

Our Mission

While providing an excellent academic standard to all children, Nardini Convent School also strives to develop each child holistically instilling Christian moral values urged by the charism of our founder Blessed Dr Paul Joseph Nardini in the spirit of St Francis. Its teachers and religious sisters work towards bringing good news through works of charity striving to live by its motto CONCORDIA which challenges us to work towards peace and harmony with God, self and our environment within the framework of the Catholic ethos.

Objectives

• We provide a holistic approach to education characterized by Catholic values.
• We focus on academic excellence, mutual respect, self-discipline, and community service to achieve personal goals now and for the future.
• We encourage leadership and active learning
• We encourage critical thinking and technological skills to realize our full potential.
• We treat our children alike to the high standards of intellectual and moral development.
• We focus on external factors that enable our improvements to facilities and new projects

Our Chrtistian Ethos

To achieve this vision a number of goals are set: The fee structure should allow the school to be affordable to the widest possible range of people, while ensuring the long term viability of the school. Religious lessons, Shool Masses, feastdays and outreach programmes play an important part of our curriculum. To achieve and keep this ethos is only possible if: Pupils, parents and staff are committed to work together. The present pupils enjoy the use of facilities that have been provided by the love and hard work of the Nardini Sisters and their motherhouse in Germany. The Board of Governors, parents and pupils have the duty to preserve and improve these for future generations. Twice a week there are Assemblies which are compulsory for all learners and educators. The classes take it in turns to lead an Assembly with some input in connection with Life Skills or Scripture. They all have Christian values as their theme. The school being a Catholic School will continue with religious education. Catholic children in Grade 4 are given First Holy Communion lessons during their School time. Non-Catholics will have Religious Education during the same time. Being a Catholic School we have Holy Mass at the beginning and end of each term. The Christian Ethos is reflected in every sphere of education inside and outside the class. As our ethos is Christian ‘Life Orientation’ will be taught with Christian moral values. These will be emphasised in other learning areas as well. We will always have the “whole child” in mind, trying to enable him/her develop their God-given potential in a caring manner.
