ACS (BR) Students' Creed
The Students' Creed is read every Monday as part of instilling school loyalty in its students. It is read immediately after the National Pledge-taking, and while reading the Students' Creed, students are to cleansh their right fist over the left side of the chest, where the heart is.
By the grace of God,
I am here to learn about life and how I should develop my talents,
To serve my God, my country and my school.
I shall learn to sharpen my mind, stretch my intellect, And learn to love learning. I shall learn to love and respect my parents, my teachers and everyone else whose life touches mine. I shall endeavour to give of my best in every trial and weather each storm that life throws at me with Faith in God, Hope in my heart and Love for one another
