Discipline

St. Xavier's values the basic common discipline necessary for the smooth running of any educational institution. Punctuality, neatness and uniformity of dress are insisted upon while courtesy, consideration for others, and a cooperative spirit are encouraged. It is intended that self-discipline and sense of responsibility should, by stages, become part of every student's personal character for life. Xaverians assume the obligation to conduct themselves as exemplary students at all times and in all places, demonstrating excellence in character.
