Mangaluru, March 26, 2024 : The motto of NCC 'Unity and Discipline' inspires students to be better citizens of tomorrow.

St Theresa's School prides itself on the quality of its educational curriculum and non- curriculum programmes.

The vision of our beloved Founder Servant of God Msgr  RFC Mascarenhas was to serve the community through value based education and bringing out excellence in every child. This vision is being nurtured by our respected Principal, Sr Lourdes. Her dream of training our students as NCC cadets came into reality in the year  2021.

St. Theresa's School once again gathered together to inaugurate the range firing area and also to bid farewell to our second batch of NCC cadets.

The NCC is engaged in the character building of the student community, as a national investment for the future. NCC helps students in shaping a multifaceted personality.

Range firing is an important and compulsory training for all the NCC cadets. Weapon training is a very important part of NCC where cadets learn the art of shooting. This is done so that the fear of firearms can be removed from the minds of the cadets. The art of shooting teaches precision, accuracy, coordination of body movements, confidence and holistic development of a cadet which helps to make a better person in public.

Sr Shaila  inaugurated the range firing area, the dignitaries then lighted the Diya. Fr Vivian Rodrigues proceeded with the prayers and blessings.
The NCC students along with the Permanent Instructor , Subedhar Patil demonstrated the range firing zone.

A special programme was organized to felicitate the dignitaries and to honour the outgoing senior NCC cadets.The programme began with the welcome note by the students.

The chief guest encouraged the participants with his invigorating speech. Our correspondent in her speech said that the NCC aims at developing character, comradeship, and commitment and calls for discipline which helps in a secular outlook and ideals of selfless service amongst young citizens.

The programme  ended with vote of thanks by senior cadets followed by the National Anthem.
