Health, Service, Friendship – The Spirit of JRC
The Junior Red Cross (JRC) at St. Ignatius Convent Hr. Sec. School, Palayamkottai, is a voluntary humanitarian movement committed to nurturing young minds in the values of health, service, and friendship.
Guided by the motto “Health, Service, Friendship,” the JRC aims to build compassionate leaders who uphold humanity and service as their guiding principles.
Inspiring Humanity Through Action
JRC is more than an extracurricular program — it is a movement that inspires empathy, discipline, and responsibility.
The three core qualities of JRC are deeply inculcated in the hearts of our students through diverse activities related to health, hygiene, and social welfare.
Our school organizes impactful programs such as:
- Awareness Rallies on health, hygiene, and environmental care.
- Free Medical Camps in collaboration with local health organizations.
- Visits to Homes and Institutions to serve the needy and spread compassion.
Each initiative encourages students to be active changemakers in their community — learning the joy of selfless service and the strength of unity.
Promoting Health and Social Responsibility
We focus on addressing current social and environmental issues through awareness campaigns and hands-on community engagement.
Our JRC members lead by example — practicing what they preach by:
- Avoiding the use of plastics.
- Saying no to junk food.
- Maintaining personal hygiene and a clean environment.
By doing so, our students become ambassadors of healthy living and environmental responsibility.
The Heart of a Volunteer
“There is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
The JRC at St. Ignatius Convent Hr. Sec. School embodies this belief every day.
Through compassion, dedication, and teamwork, our students learn that service is not an act but a way of life — creating a ripple of kindness and care that touches many lives.
Service That Shapes Character
At St. Ignatius, the Junior Red Cross fosters humanitarian values that align with our school’s mission of holistic education.
By engaging in meaningful service, our students not only grow as responsible citizens but also carry forward the Ignatian spirit of love, sacrifice, and service to humanity.
