Etiquette

Grooming and uniform

2. Personal grooming is important in our school, and all precautions are taken with regard to hygiene and cleanliness.
3. Students are permitted into school only in school uniform, neatly presented, with polished shoes.

Assembly and the campus

1. Class leaders check their lines and make sure that proper order and decorum are maintained during assembly.
2. Prayer and pledge are said by all students.
3. English is the spoken language of the campus, and everyone on the campus is expected to follow this rule.
4. Hauling and running in the corridors are prohibited.
5. Being a co-educational institution, appropriate behaviour and healthy friendship are expected between students.
6. Students are not permitted to sit on the steps of the staircase or of the school portico.
7. Only students enrolled in the school and their parents may enter the school campus.
8. Students carry their identity card and handbook whenever they come to school, and produce them whenever asked.

In the classroom

1. Students greet their teachers when they meet them for the first time in the day on the school premises, and whenever they meet them in public.
2. When the teacher enters, students rise, greet the teacher and stand until directed to sit or until the teacher takes his or her seat. When attendance is taken, students stand one by one and answer to their name or roll number.
3. Students are seated in their classrooms at the stroke of the first bell and wait for the teacher. They are not permitted to loiter in the corridors during class hours. If a teacher is on leave, alternative arrangements are made; class representatives inform the coordinator if no teacher has come to take a particular hour.
4. Students make use of the library during library periods.
5. Students leave the classroom only with the permission of the teacher concerned. To leave during class hours, they need the written consent and signature of the teacher on the movement slip, which they carry whenever they are out of the classroom.
6. Tests are held periodically in every subject. Attendance for periodic tests is compulsory, and students remain in the examination hall for the full duration of the exam.

1. Absence from classes without genuine reasons will not be entertained.
2. Students absent for a day or more, for any reason, submit the leave form signed by their parents when they return.
3. Students absent for one week or more at a stretch without the written permission of the Principal will be readmitted only on medical grounds, on producing a medical certificate.
4. Prior permission from the Principal is required for leave of more than three days.

School property

Defacing furniture and walls, committing a nuisance in the school, or causing any other kind of damage to school property is punishable, and students will also have to pay for the damage.
