Our Aim

Our Aims at Mayo At Mayo, we aim at a vigorous pursuit of excellence in academics, extra-curricular activities, games & sports and character- building.

To develop fluency in the use of the mother tongue, and to foster enjoyment of all the processes of communication: oral, written and visual.

To recognize and to encourage talents of all kinds and of all degrees, and to endeavour to stretch the intellectual and creative capacity of the individuals. »

In so far as it lies within the resources of the School, to illustrate the inter-relationship of all human knowledge, to foster an appreciation of man's creative skills, and to stimulate a concept of learning as a lifelong process. »

Since it is impossible for a School to cover the whole realm of knowledge one has to be vigorously selective in material presented to children, but we pay particular attention to: Stimulating intellectual curiosity, directing and exercising the emotions, encouraging clear thinking and discrimination, developing an interest in the process and resources of learning.

Fostering a capacity to tackle a problem and to follow and sustain an argument and emphasizing the difference between truth and falsehood, and between fact and feeling.

To enable children to acquire the tools and qualifications necessary for earning their living and, when appropriate, for entry into skilled occupations and professions. »

To seek to measure the extent of an individual's success in making maximum use of his endowments and opportunities. To develop in the School a caring community, excercising concern and respect for the welfare of others, and emphasising the overriding importance of good human relations, based upon sensitivity, tolerance and goodwill.

To encourage an attitude of positive response to the persistent demands of a changing society, yet, firmly upholding a belief in basic values and standards.

To encourage children to appreciate the virtues of collaboration, to foster habits of responsibility and self-discipline, and to promote initiative, endeavour and the exercise of individual judgement.

To project the School as the servant of the community, and to accept its appropriate share of responsibility for equipping each child to find his own niche in his occupation and in society.
