• Respect for persons irrespective of colour, property and the environment by emphasizing the value of equality for all.

• Prudent use of available resources and servicing of old equipment to ensure their use for a longer time.
• A cordial relationship between students and teachers provides a conducive learning atmosphere.
• Project works tasked to the students in vocational studies are a huge motivator in the learning process.
