Life on campus

A Family

The pastoral life in the school is based on the house system. Every student is assigned to a house. Each house has its own independent hostel supervised by a house mentor, usually a senior faculty member and a full time house mother, who invariably is a lady teacher. The house mentor is assisted by a group of tutors and the house mother is assisted by a group of ayahs working around the clock. The house mentor being in charge of the house oversees the all round development of the student.

Living

The senior students are encouraged to mentor the new and junior students. Any form of ragging is strongly discouraged and attracts heavy penalties. The school boasts of healthy conventions, where in the old students welcome the new batch of students with social evenings and ensure that they take on to the school life without much missing. Every student is assigned to a student mentor for the first few weeks so as to familiarize with the school infrastructure, practices and ethos.

Tutor, Local Parent, Guide, Teacher & Friend...

Each student is assigned to a house tutor, who acts as a local parent as well as the tutor. As a parent, the tutor along with the house mother aids, assists and guides the student in all non academic activities. As a tutor, he is responsible for the students’ achievement in academics, sports or activities or any other extra curricular activity. For almost anything the tutor is the first point of contact for the student. Points are awarded to the students throughout the year for their performance in academics, cultural, literary and sports activities, discipline and behaviour and the House getting the highest marks is adjudged the Best House of the Year.
