SICUT APIS OPEROSA 
                  (as busy as the bees)  
                  
                The school emblem depicts a beehive with bees
                  and the motto "Sicut apis Operosa" (as busy as bees).                  The hive symbolises the school community in which students
                  like single cells are cemented together to form one harmonious
                  unit. 
                A hive speaks of perfection in symmetry. Students are called
                  upon, under the guidance of their teachers to strive for excellence
                  academically and in all spheres.  
                Bees in a colony transform nectar from various flowers into
                  honey. So each Annite should discover and develop her potential
                  to the fullest, utilizing to the maximum all the opportunities
                  offered in this school with the goal of becoming equipped to
                  fulfil effectively in life the mission chosen for her by God. 
                Bees work in co-ordination. So each student should learn to
                  appreciate the uniqueness of others and to co-operate in perfect
                  team spirit to build a community of love now in the school,
                  and later in society. Like honey the students are called upon
                  to be gentle instruments of healing and joy through their generous
                  service. 
                In this way it is the aim of the school to form the students
                  into responsible adults who in their journey through life,
                  nourished by the nectar of God's presence within them, will
                  work with others to build "a civilization of love" -
                  a foretaste of our Eternal home where we shall drink together
                  the Divine Amruth.   |
