The following rules will help us create a good environment for all involved in the school:

  • Since the students are to conduct themselves as gentlemen/ladies at all times, there should be no running, screaming, shouting, pushing, playing of games or throwing of objects in the school building and in/from school bus.

As being conscious about students’ health, we encourage students to bring healthy homemade lunch. Instant Packaged foods like noodles, biscuits etc are proscribed inside the school. Likewise students are not allowed to chew a chewing gum inside the school premises or inside the classroom.

Common Problem:

We are aware that there are few common problems that can be sorted out by the role of students inside the school. We certainly have school prefects who are responsible to ensure well-going of disciplinary conducts of school.

Some familiar problems like dispute between peers, arguments, fights, pranks, teasing, bullying etc that hurt particular person, name calling etc can be issued and solved initially with the council of prefect acting as mediators. Students can approach mediators to discuss about the remedy of such common problems. If the root of common looking issue deepens and somehow seems like a major issue, then the concern will be diverted to respective personnel at school for wider sight. We encourage students to discuss basic problems with mediators for quick solution.

Major Problem

We discourage students to make poor choices that affect the healthy environment of learning offered by the school. The problem seen like gang fights; foul-mouth, threatening, alcoholic beverages and smoking is highly prohibited and discouraged, stealing etc will be handled by Discipline Council. If a student is not responding to the consequences administered by the personnel, then the student will be taken to office as per disciplinary code of conduct.

If the student tends to participate on the above boldly mentioned issues then he/ she will be:

  • Counselled by the counsellor of school together with informing parents
  • If the problem persist and student fall short to maintain discipline then student is kept on detention for time given as per the concern
  • If repetitive act of same individual is seen, the student will be taken to principal and parents will be informed
  • Student will be suspended from school with homework for mentioned date as per the concern
