Freedom does not exist without responsibility. The discipline program is intended to ensure that everyone at school shares in the responsibility of providing a sound academic environment in which to learn.

All school personnel have responsibilities to maintain control and proper conduct of students (while under the supervision of the school) and everyone has a responsibility for one’s action.

Unacceptable Behaviour:-

While it is not possible to anticipate all forms of unacceptable behaviour, the following will not be tolerated:-

“fighting, bad language, creating disturbances, denying others the right to school services, harming others, stealing, loud or boisterous conduct in school”.

 

Violation Of Rule:-

·         In case of servious discipline violation, the offender will be reprimanded and given a written warning. He/she will have to submit an apology in writing and his/her parents will also be officially intimated. Such cases may be ignored twice and the management will intensively undertake all remedial efforts for rehabilitation of gross misconduct, the student may be expelled from the institution.

·         A pupil who remains absent from school without application for a week will be struck of the rolls. His/her readmission will be subject to an appropriate parental explanation and fine.

·         Pupils will not be granted any leave of absence without written application, properly signed by parents. They will be fined Rs.20/ per day if they remained absent without an application.

·         Students damaging school property will be duly charged for breakage.

·         If a student is found guilty of unfair means in exam, wither giving or taking undue assistance, he/she will face disciplinary action and will be awarded zero marks in the relevant script.

·         The practice of removing students from school for vacations or early leave for holidays is strongly discourged. If, due to any emergency, it is necessary to remove a student for leave, parents should contact the principal to justify the need before departure. The responsibility for make-up work rests with the students(4,10).

 

Parents anticipating early permanent withdrawal of their child should notify the principal office at least one month in advance. This will enable the office to prepare the appropriate record. Early departures at the end of the academic year are regarded as most undesireable. Final term grades are usually not given if a student withdraws before the term is completed.
