A silver medal and black blazer is awarded to students who have been scholars for six years with a one-year gap. The prestigious award that includes the School Colour with a Gold Medal is for scholars of 9 successive years (thus only for students who pass Std.9).
Important school rules- Every student must maintain 75% attendance before an exam to be eligible to appear for the exam. If there is repeated absence without leave or unexplained absence for more than 10 consecutive days, then it is possible that the student's name will be struck off the rolls. In that case, a fresh admission fee will need to be paid if the student applies for re-admission and there is a vacancy.
- On the first day after a vacation and on the last day prior to the vacation, it is mandatory for the student to be present and those absent due to an illness need to submit a medical certificate to that effect.
- A medical certificate needs to be submitted if a student has been sick for more than 5 days.
- Punishment and fines are imposed for bad conduct, such as damaging property on the school premises, bullying, disobedience, etc. Suspension and termination are possible in case of severe indiscipline. Like on the football field, yellow and red cards are issued as per the offence, with 2 yellow cards leading to a red card.
- In case the parents wish to withdraw a student from the school, they need to submit a 1 month's notice in writing or a month's fee in lieu of the said notice period before withdrawing their ward from the school. A Transfer Certificate will be issued only after all the fees/dues of the School have been paid.
