Student of True Character

Student stands with honest heart,
And does his duty with care;
With truth as his guiding light,
He serves with a spirit fair.

His designation is not just a name,
But a trust he proudly bears;
He respects his duties and every rule,
And faces challenges without fears.

In words he is humble, in actions sincere,
In conduct steady and right;
A genuine student earns respect,
By being a leader of truth and light.


 

Teacher by Duty and Deed

Teacher stands with wisdom bright,
And guides each heart from wrong to right;
With duty, patience, truth, and care,
They shape young minds with love to share.

Not just by title, not by name,
But through their work, they earn their fame;
They teach with heart, they lead by deed,
And serve their students in every need.

A genuine teacher, strong and true,
Makes every lesson fresh and new;
With honest purpose, day by day,
They light the path and show the way.


 

An Institution of True Purpose

A place where learning finds its way,
Where truth and values guide each day;
With honest hearts and duties true,
It shapes young minds for life anew.

With every role and every name,
It bears its trust, its rightful aim;
Not just in words, but deeds it shows,
The seeds of wisdom, thought, and hope it sows.

An institution firm and fair,
With knowledge, kindness, and devoted care;
True to its purpose, strong and bright,
It leads each learner toward the light.


 

The Human Mind

The mind is a silent, restless sea,
Where thoughts arise and gently flow;
It shapes our joy, our fears, our dreams,
And colours all the life we know.

A peaceful thought can brighten days,
While worry dims the morning light;
Our thoughts can make us rise with hope,
Or keep us wandering through the night.

Yet every mind can learn to choose,
To turn its doubts to strength and grace;
For when our thoughts are calm and kind,
They bring new meaning to life’s pace.
