On every Monday, personal inspection is held to select the smartest turned-out girl/boy student. This is followed by hoisting of the national flag and singing the National Anthem.
Attendance and Leave
Parents should understand that absence has a very unsettling effect on a student’s work, so they are earnestly requested not to apply for leave if they can avoid it. Leave of absence must be obtained before a student absents herself/himself, except in case of sudden illness. All applications for leave addressed to the Principal must be signed or attested by the parents or guardian.
Parents are advised to ensure that their children or wards observe punctuality in daily attendance and on other occasions. Students who come late for Morning Assembly are likely to be punished and also fined Rs. 5.00 per day. Habitual latecomers are liable to be sent back home. Parents are informed by the Principal if a child is late or absent without intimation three or more times in a week. A student who is absent or leaves the school without permission will be fined Rs. 5.00 per day.
A medical certificate should invariably accompany a leave application under the following circumstances:

Primary/Junior School
The school provides a “Caring Education Environment” for children of Play Group, Nursery, Prep, and Grade I.

A close contact between the teachers and parents is also welcomed. The junior program is based upon the scientific method developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, a physician and psychologist. The objectives of this method are:
- To normalize the child by providing an environment that trains all his/her senses and improves his/her perception.
- To help and bring forward the hidden qualities of the child’s personality.
