  • The students are not allowed to roam about idly in the school campus or stay in the classrooms after the last bell has been rung for leaving the school.
  • Any student whose transportation facility is delayed should inform the matter to the school office and wait at the reception other than loitering about outside the school gate or crowding around the street vendors or entering the adjacent shops to while away time.

  • In the absence of such leave application, the student may be granted permission to attend the class on the same day but will be barred from entering the classroom the next day.
  • Serious disciplinary action will be taken against a student who submits fabricated or fake leave letters or medical certificates to justify his absence.
  • Forging the signature of anyone, including those of one’s parents, will be considered a serious criminal offense. If any such behavior is detected, the student will be suspended from the school immediately.

  • Therefore, it would be marked in the progress report the marks obtained for the academic subjects as well as the Grade obtained in the personality traits.
  • In each class, a register will be maintained in which all the staff members are free to add points for every significant good character trait, mentioning the date and the description of the good deed, as well as to enter minus points for every violation of the expected character trait or any delinquent behavior.
  • At the end of every term, the plus and minus points will be tallied and the students who obtain above 90% points in good personality traits will be given appreciation awards.

(3) Which chapter or what idea, what concept, what incident, or what expression, etc. of the book struck you/impressed you most? should be written and submitted to the respective language teacher.

  • Accordingly, marks will be awarded as per the instruction of the Principal.
  • All letters and correspondence addressed to pupils are subject to the scrutiny of the Principal.
  • Involvement of a student in any unhealthy friendship or indecent relationship with a person of the opposite or same gender, or any remarks, comments, jokes, exchanging of letters, sexually nuanced gestures, etc. through verbal, textual, graphic or electronic media, of demeaning nature that goes against sexual modesty, will be treated as a very serious offense and such students will be asked to discontinue studies in this school with immediate effect.

  • If any such items are found with any student, strict disciplinary action will be taken.
  • It is not permitted for children to imprint Tattoos on any part of their body and to display them to others. Such acts are not considered to be conducts of persons with nobility and are considered to be showing disrespect to one’s body.
  • The same rule is applicable to girls who decorate their bodies for attracting others which may be considered as immodest and socially unacceptable to children of noble families.
  • Those who defy the rule will be issued a “letter of information” to be shown to the parents, and the matter should be settled in consultation with the parents.
  • Any criminal activity through social media amounting to cybercrime among the students will be considered a very serious offense for which a student may be suspended from the school with immediate effect; and the parents will be contacted to take the student home.

  • The Principal and Teachers are not responsible for any personal belongings that are lost or stolen while on the school premises.
  • Any student who uses abusive language, engages in arguments or fights with another student, or causes intentional harm to anyone must realize that this is not acceptable behavior.
  • The situation is settled with the affected person by the concerned parties in a manner that shows reconciliation with peace and humility.
  • The principal and the concerned teacher of the class should give their full attention to any such act of revenge or hatred and make sure that the matter is clarified and settled peacefully.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • Duplicate copy of “School Diary” will be issued only with the consent of the Principal, after verification of the request and on a payment of Rs. 100/-.
  • Children must remember to bring their school diary daily to school and should take care of it so that it is not lost.
  • Each student must possess two identity cards issued by the school. One should be worn around the neck by the student whenever he is in the school complex and the other should be with the parents to show at the gate whenever the parents want to meet their students.
  • No physical or verbal violence is permitted in the school. If anyone is found having recourse to such behavior, he/she will be suspended with immediate effect and an enquiry will be conducted which may lead to one’s dismissal if proved guilty.
  • The school has constituted an internal complaints committee (ICC) to look into any sexual or physical harassment of the students or employees in the school. Any matters pertaining to such issues should be immediately reported to the said committee.
  • The committee will then deal with the matter as per the legal norms. The same committee will look into all matters pertaining to the POCSO Act 2012 and sexual harassment of women at workplace (prevention, prohibition, and redressal) Act, 2013 and will follow the necessary legal procedure.
  • Allotting to students different Sections/Houses and shuffling them into different classes, as and when required, is fully at the discretion of the school authorities and no request for a particular Section/House or changing of Section/House will be entertained, unless it is found very essential.
  • The tendency of the students to go for private tuition is strongly discouraged; instead they should be encouraged to participate in the remedial classes provided in the school itself. The school teachers shall not engage themselves for private tuition, except with the permission of the Principal Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) to be attended by all parents/guardians of the students.
  • Those students whose parents/guardians have not attended the PTM, without getting prior permission from the Principal, due to any unavoidable reasons, will not be allowed to attend the classes unless and until they bring their parents/guardians to the school.
  • If anyone, be it a teacher, parent, student or an employee, be found in an inebriated state in the school campus stringent legal action will be initiated against him/her with immediate effect, leading even to the dismissal.
  • While sending letters or making remittance of fee or inquiries, please note the full name (as written in the admission form) of the child. His/her class and Roll Number/Admission No. is very important to enter because there are many students in a class/school with the same name.
  • The students are requested to notify the school office of any change in their address and phone numbers through a letter of application from their parents in which there should be the signature of both the parents.
  • The school will not entertain any anonymous letters; instead every parent is permitted to lodge any of their complaints or suggestions through the suggestion box or through the provisions provided.
  • Character formation of each student based on universal and eternal values is one of the key motives of the entire school administration.
  • Therefore textbooks on moral science are compulsorily taught in the school. Besides extra instructions based on the booklet “Hints for Personality development” is regularly imparted to the students.
