A person who spends most of the time in his / her profession and has a meager interest in other things; also being a workaholic, then we call such people a busy bee.

They are usually busy and active persons, working hard as whenever we see them, there will be an air of emptiness around them as very rarely do they allow others to work along with them. Otherwise, they are generally good team players, cooperating in the accomplishment of any tasks assigned to them.

At St.Britto’s, the students are assigned active tasks every week by taking  turns to keep themselves busy in volunteering by checking the 

classroom and board on Fridays from secondary classes till grade 12.

The leaders in charge keep changing every week. 

 

A program called ‘TLIM - The Leader In Me’ is organized for the students to learn about various etiquettes of manners and how to shape them as good citizens of tomorrow by letting them learn various qualities like students’ greeting style to their colleagues in bringing the concept of equal respect to fellow students. 

Under the ‘Child care’ responsibility, the students of higher classes will take care of the Lower Kindergarten and Upper Kindergarten students while having their lunch by feeding the tender students how to eat properly by properly holding the spoon and fork, not spilling the food and to clean the place after eating the food.

Another unique activity to keep the students busy is in taking care of the corridor in the school building checking whether the place is clean and well-organized and taking help also from the house-keeping staff making it the largest and more comprehensive child care services of our school

Testimonial                                                                      

 

 

I am Sheela Rexcy, a commerce graduate and a former student of St. Britto’s MHSS, who is here to share my experience of being one of the busy bee students in life. THE FIRST THING I learned is to volunteer and involve actively, making my fellow students also follow it. Being adaptable, and taking care of the college auditorium, seminar hall, cafeteria, etc were some responsibilities that I follow to date. All these transformed me into a multitasking person who can follow the same with others too. Being proactive taught me to finish my work much ahead of other students and be smart.
