OBJECTIVES OF JESUIT EDUCATION

AT NORTH POINT

Inspired by the life of Jesus and eager to spread the Gospel values through unconditional Love and Service to all people, the needy in particular, St. Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus.

This vision of the founder give the Jesuit education at North Point a specific character. It sets before the North Point family (its staff, students, parents and alumni) the need to promote the total development of the individual by striving for excellence at the level of one’s  potential.

Every graduate of North Point is to become an agent of change respecting all cultures, languages and religions and above all recognising the unique image and likeness of the Creator in every individual. His task is to love and serve his neighbour at all times by upholding the dignity of all and in particular the needy. By committing himself to the service of faith and promotion of justice, he is to lift up his heart, live and work for just society where every individual will be fully alive, living an upright and humane life.

Northpoint chorus

1. Hurrah for our home in the mountains !

Hurrah for the monarchs of snow !

For the land of the forests and fountains,

And the torrents that ever flow ! (bis)

Chorus

Toil up from the valley below;

Lift your heart to the breeze and the glow;

And our school on the hill

Here a cheer for it still,

As onward through life we go !

2. From the sweltering South and the Islands,

Form the plains where the hot winds blow,

We have met in the heart of the highlands

At fair India gates of snow. (bis)

3. Here a hand to a faltering brother.

Here a lift for the lame and the slow,

And we stand, boys, like men to each other

As onwards through life we go. (bis)
