Community service
AIMS
The College wishes to encourage the girls to develop their interpersonal
skills, raise their awareness of the needs of others within the
community of the College, and to widen their outlook beyond the
confines of the site. The girls should be able to perform any service
which will increase their self-esteem and strengthen their character
thus leaving the College with a sense of responsibility towards
the society in which they live.
OBJECTIVES

some form of community service. Provision for all sections of the
