  Students should observe polite standards wherever they go. They should always remember that the school is judged by their behaviour. Bullying in any form- direct, indirect, cyber bullying or using foul language are punishable offences and may even merit expulsion from school. It is expected that students behave in a manner which brings a good name to the school community. They should not indulge in any anti-social activity in or outside the school, failing which the school may take disciplinary action.

  The school reserves the right to suspend or to take strict disciplinary action against a student whose performance in studies is constantly unsatisfactory or whose conduct is harmful to other students.

  The observance of rules of discipline of the school and good behaviour is essential to a student's continuance in the school.
