Every Institution has its own motto to give it a special identity. This motto is inscribed within the emblem which is special to a school, an institution or an organisation. A student studying at St. Joseph's Convent mustknow her motto, the meaning of the School emblem and be worthy of it.
Inscribed within the shield are the words "VIRTUE ALONE ENNOBLES". What makes a girl noble is not her education or the colour of her skin or the race to which she belongs. It is her character, and her character is formed by the practice of certain virtues. Inculcating these virtues is a life-long task. So a student of St. Joseph's has to work at becoming noble all her life. She cannot take a holiday from this work. Wherever she is, wherever she goes and whatever she does, she must remember this important work of becoming noble through the practice of virtues_ It is her prerogative to be kind, gentle, respectful, helpful, cheerful, hard working and enthusiastic at all times. This is what makes her different from others. This is what makes her noble and grea

Like the Lily, a student of St. Joseph gives to others the soft fragrance of her goodness. the whiteness of the Lily signifies the purity of her thought, word and action. She does or says nothing that will hurt God or her neighbour. She unfolds and blooms like the lily at all times and in all places.

She puts her faith in God, her loving Father and looks for ways and means to please Him. Thus, she becomes a true child of God and a worthy student of St. Joseph's Convent. Like St. Joseph, she is sensitive to the feelings of others .Ind careful for their welfare.
