Conditions for expulsion:
(a) A student caught indulging in some highly undesirable activity will be expelled immediately from the school.

• Speak in English once he/she is inside the school campus.
• Avoid vulgarity in talk and behavior.

• Not indulge in rowdyism, cheating, rude behavior, and insubordination as it could lead to immediate suspension or expulsion from school.

(d) In case a student stops attending school without any information to the school authorities, his/her name will be struck off the rolls, 15 days after he/she stops attending the school.

Parent’s Responsibility: Parents are required to cooperate with the School in developing their children into balanced, progressive, morally strong, and disciplined youth, by helping their children observe the general code of conduct in and outside the school. Misbehaviour in the school is dealt with by the Discipline Committee of the School. The recurrence of such acts may lead to the expulsion of the defaulter from the school. However, punishment is administered only with a view to correcting the defiant behaviour of the child . The Principal has the right to refuse the continuation of studies to any pupil whose conduct is unsatisfactory.

(a) Girls’ hair must be either cut short or tied back neatly.
(b) Students are not allowed to wear any jewellery in school.

(e) Carrying cell phones or electronic devices is strictly prohibited. The school will not be responsible for goods, articles, money or books lost by the children. Parents should not send expensive items with their children to school.

Students who habitually indulge in misbehaviour despite repeated warnings and continuous efforts by the school teachers to improve their behaviour will not be enrolled/admitted in the School during the following academic session. A warning in this regard will be given to the parents well in advance to seek admission to some other school.
