ATTENDANCE AND LEAVE:

Regular attendance is essential for a student’s academic success. If a student needs leave, a written application must be submitted in advance and only for serious reasons. In cases of illness or unexpected circumstances, the student must bring a written note from their parent or guardian explaining the absence. This note must be countersigned by the Principal before the student is allowed to attend class. Leave applications should be recorded in the School Calendar next to the relevant date.

If a student is absent for 15 days without prior leave, their name may be removed from the class list, and re-admission will require payment of the usual admission fee. Additionally, no student is allowed to miss an exam or test except for health reasons, in which case a medical certificate must be submitted.

Home Study and Parental Co-operation:

Parents are encouraged to understand the importance of dedicated study time for their child’s success. A minimum of 2 to 3 hours of home study is necessary for effective learning. While private tuitions are discouraged, they may be considered only after consulting the Principal. Teachers are not allowed to tutor their own students or students from the classes they teach.

A student’s conduct and academic progress will be reported from time to time in the school calendar. Parents are expected to review these reports, keep track of examination results, and meet with teachers and the Principal occasionally. Parents are strictly requested not to enter the classrooms directly. Meetings with teachers can be scheduled on the last Saturday of the month from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., as notified.

For security reasons, parents should drop off their children near the main gate and cooperate with security personnel. No vehicles are allowed beyond the main gate.

When inquiring or writing to the school regarding their children, parents must mention the standard and section in which their child is currently studying.

  1. The academic year consists of two semesters, and the final result is calculated based on Semester Exams, Unit Tests, and Internal Assessments.

  2. A student who fails to be promoted will lose any fee concessions for the following year and may be advised to leave the school. Promotion will not be reconsidered once refused.

  4. Progress cards will be sent to parents/guardians, who must review and return them duly signed to the class teacher within two days.

    • If misconduct occurs during a Terminal Examination, the entire exam will be canceled.
    • If misconduct happens during the Final Examination, the student may face expulsion from the school.

  6. Written examinations will not be postponed under any circumstances.

  7. Promotion to the next grade is based on Promotion Rules and is granted only if the student has at least 80% attendance and maintains good conduct throughout the year.

Malpractice:

A student caught copying or engaging in any kind of malpractice will not be allowed to appear for the next examination unless the Principal grants written permission. In such cases, the student must bring their parent to meet the Principal. Additionally, any student found guilty of malpractice will not be promoted.
