CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

There are plenty of opportunities provided to the students to fulfill goals of service, dutiful behavior and nation building programmes. Character building is the most important part of education.

These experiences are a must for the development of a socially useful and balanced personality. These activities are compulsory for every student.

PARENT TEACHER MEETING

In order to maintain close and proper liaison with the Parents, Parent teacher meetings are held in the school frequently, as mentioned in the school calendar.

SCHOOL TIMINGS & PUNCTUALITY

The school is committed towards academic excellence, character building and discipline. Developing a sense of punctuality is an integral part of the school's character building process and discipline.

Parents must ensure that their ward reaches school on time. The school gates will be closed as soon as the school starts.

WITHDRAWALS

1. Those parents who wish to withdraw their ward at the end of the academic year must give one month's notice (by submitting the withdrawal form) before 1st March otherwise fee for the next quarter (new academic year) will be charged.
