BOSCO) ATTITUDE TO GOD
106. Remember that we have been created in order to
love and serve God, our Creator and that all learning and wealth in this world
amount to nothing without the fear of God on which our temporal and eternal
welfare depends.
107. Give glory to God for whatever learning you have
for He is the Author of every good. Do not glory in any ability.
108. Give yourself to the practice of virtue while you
are young. The virtues to be cultivated most are modesty (purity), humility,
obedience and kindness.
109. Being modest is meant a
proper and decent manner of speaking and acting. This virtue is one of the best
ornaments of your age.
110. Avoid any kind of sin,
especially three evils should be particularly avoided:
a. the taking of the name of God in vain ;
b. impurity in thought, word or deed ;
c. stealing.
These evils draw God's anger upon us. But if we keep
these evils far away from us, God will never fail us with His blessings.
XVI. ATTITUDE TO TEACHERS :
111. Boys should look upon their school-mates as
brothers and upon their teachers and Superiors as fathers/ mothers.
112. Respect every teacher whether of your own class
or not. Be grateful towards those who taught you in the past. Show your
teachers those exterior signs of reverence to which they are entitled, such as
greeting them whenever you meet them.
113. Be convinced that your teachers deeply feel the
serious obligation of promoting your welfare in the best way they possibly can,
and that in advising, commanding and correcting you, they have nothing else in
view but your own good.
114. After piety study is most praiseworthy.
Therefore, your first occupation must consist in doing the tasks assigned to
you by your teachers.

teachers enter the class and again when they leave. If they delay in coming, do
not make any noise, but wait for them in your places in silence reviewing your
lesson or reading some good books.
116. During class avoid whispering or interrupting.
XVII. ATTITUDE TO SCHOOL MATES :
117. Strive to edify your school-mates by your good
example at all time. In fact no sermon is more efficacious than good example.
118. Never make fun of those who are backward in their
studies or not so quick to grasp their lessons. Let there be no ridiculing of
any-one on account of any physical defect. What you laugh at or despise in
others may some day befall you.
119. Gladly help one another at recreation; make no
distinction in the choice of your companions. Let no one be slighted in any
game and let there be no selfishness. If there be need to make a sacrifice for
the sake of the team let it be made cheerfully.
120.When you are asked by a
superior regarding the conduct of some of your companions, answer to the best
of your knowledge especially when it is a matter of preventing or remedying
some evil. To be silent would not be beneficial to your companion and would be
offensive to God. Always avoid exaggeration and speak truthfully.
XVIII. BEHAVIOUR AT SCHOOL :
121.To write or draw on the
blackboard (except when called upon to do so), to write offensive words, to
soil walls or maps or anything else are things absolutely to be avoided.

to fall on it. Cleanliness and purity of soul are reflected by a clean and neat
exterior.

Performances on the stage for the various school functions are
encouraged as part of the holistic formation offered and they should help to
bring out the fine qualities of your heart and mind.

awkwardness. Encourage your companions with a generous applause but do not be
boisterous.
