This Latin term inscribed in our emblem includes the entire philosophy, aim and objectives of this institution as envisaged by our founding fathers.

"DUCE" in Italian means "Leader". This term is taken from the Latin word "eDUCare’, which means, to bring up, to train and to discipline. The nearest English translation to ‘DUC NOS” would be ‘LEAD US’. Some translate it as ‘TEACH US’. So, education is much more than just teaching or imparting some knowledge.

For our ideal education set up, the educator must first lead, so that the educated too can lead others. This is indicated at the top portion of the emblem with the symbol which represents Christ, Our Leader. This is the reason why we have chosen the famous poem "Lead Kindly Light" composed by Cardinal Newman, as our school prayer song. The branches around this symbol stand for the distinction and glory associated with leadership. The St. Thomas’ Cross, bears witness to its patron who has immortalized Santhome by his martyrdom. It also tells of Montfortain concept of the ‘Cross’, a blessing in disguise. The torch embedded in the emblem suggests the “light’ we need in our path of progress.

Education challenges us to be ‘torch bearers’ of ‘truth’ to all around us. The National bird on either side holding the coat of arms reminds about the need for identifying ourselves with the culture and heritage of this beloved country of ours. Our emblem can offer more philosophical and theological reflection. You have only to look deeper for further pleasure of such interpretations.
