An innovat0ive mechanism to instil discipline and nurture school pride has been initiated at Mount Alvernia High School, with the introduction of the Brilliant, Excellent Students in Training (B.E.S.T.) Club.

Simply put, B.E.S.T can be regarded as the female version of a typical cadet group, with members being exposed to activities geared at fostering team spirit, discipline and maintaining a positive attitude.

Failure not an option

'Always striving to be the best of the best' is the motto that B.E.S.T. Club members live by and practise throughout their daily lives. Whether in regard to extra-curricular activities or their academic work, failure is not an option for these young ladies. Not only does the club's motto speak to their level of self-confidence, it also inspires and influences others to sign up.

The commander-in-chief, the group's leader, is given the job to drill her fellow members or assist them during physical activities. She also ensures that they obey the rules of the club and school, and sees that they maintain discipline and respect for themselves, as well as those who preside over them.

In addition to good behaviour, this unique but effective club, also lists outstanding academic performance as a criterion to join, in keeping with their objective to improve or develop the behaviour of the students in order to produce brilliant, excellent, responsible and mature adults for the future.
