From time immemorial, next to the family, the School plays vital role in moulding the young children in the formation of attitudes, habits, ideals, perceptions etc. The right values and principles instilled and nurtured in the formative years of their lives can promote in students decency, courtesy, good conduct, confidence and an independent mind in helping to make them worthy citizen of a global community.

Rules are made for students to realize that basically society is governed by certain laws and some unwritten codes of courtesy and humanity. Students have to realize that in following rules, they learn to respect the freedom of others.

One optimistically hopes that these rules and regulations will help in providing the right direction in self-discipline of the child enabling him to take his place in the changing world of today.

All students should at all times maintain a high standard of manners. In particular:

• They should show consideration for the needs and comfort of others.
• They should take pride in their personal appearance and hygiene.
• They should greet all the teachers, guests, administrative staff and visitors.
• Boys must stand up at the approach of ladies and gentlemen and NEVER keep their hands in their pockets.
• Prefects, along with the staff, are responsible for the discipline of the School and for the enforcement of rules.

In all disciplinary matters, the authority of the Principal is final and binding.
We believe in discipline and in firmness, hence disobedience and disregard of rules will NOT be tolerated. Any breach of common sense or good manners, any word or action likely to lower the good name of the School will be regarded as breach of discipline.

The School reserves the right to expel students whose diligence or progress in academics is consistently unsatisfactory, or whose conduct is harmful to the welfare of other students.

Immorality, grave insubordination, hitting, extortion of money or other items from other students, stealing, telling lies, use of foul language or contempt of authority will be regarded as serious offences and can warrant the severest of punishment.

Thieving, cheating, destroying school property etc. are liable to warrant expulsion.
