FOR PARENTS

As Education is primarily the responsibility of the parents, they are expected to co-operate with the school community with regard to pupils’ integral growth. Therefore parents are requested to follow up the child in its process of growth and maintain a cordial, co-operative relationship with the school authorities. Hence every parent is expected to attend the formative meetings and respond whole-heartedly to the disciplinary rules of the School. The entrusting of a pupil to the school implies that parents agree to abide by the Rules and Regulations of the School.

Parents should see that their children prepare home lessons properly and devote at least 2-3 hours in the evening to their studies.
