The Student Council is a body of student leaders of Holy Cross College which includes the Student Council Members, Fine Arts Secretaries, Sport Secretaries, and Part VI leaders. They are coordinated by the Vice-Principals and Dean of Students under the purview of the Principal. The Student Council Members initiate and lead the activities of the Student Forum.
The Student Council is a fine and active bridge between the management and students. They meet and interact periodically to represent suggestions and grievances to enhance the campus environment. They actively organize periodical campaigns and celebrations and communicate necessary information to the student community. They dynamically help in enabling a student-friendly campus and work hand in hand with the management to develop and build Holy Crossians of Excellence.
Pledge of a Holy Crossian
Every Holy Crossian undertakes a pledge to evolve into a Holy Crossian of Excellence and to realize the purpose of their education and vision of the college. The pledge is administered by the Principal on the first day of their college life.
I as a student of Holy Cross College (Autonomous), Tiruchirappali, promise to grow as a person of integrity and discipline, be focused in my studies and participate in extra-curricular activities and I will abide by the rules of the college and evolve into a servant leader modeled on Christ-like values. I also pledge to use my education for the growth of my society and I will transfer my knowledge and skills to at least 100 girls in my lifetime.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THE SELF TO BE A HOLY - CROSSIAN OF EXCELLENCE
- I will reflect, pray, develop a Christ-like attitude and act on the will of God and not on my own desires and ways.
- I will obey my parents, respect my institution and have reverence for my respectable Sisters and teachers of this institution.
- I will honour and be kind to every person I meet in my daily life.
- I shall speak the truth at all times and will not tell lies or manipulate the truth which will put down my integrity.
- I shall use God given resource of time for my every day learning, intellectual and skill development, follow PBBT (Please Be Before Time) and not waste time in unproductive activities.
