DISCIPLINE
Discipline significantly impacts career shaping and helps build character,
sincerity, self- control, perseverance, good behaviour and values. The
concept of discipline should not be confused with strict authoritarian
environment. Students are given freedom to share their doubts and
ideas with teachers regarding class work. Constitutional and universal
values are encouraged amongst students. Hygiene, sanitation,
dedication, honesty, truthfulness, kindness, empathy respect for the
environment, elders and all living things etc. are the values that our
students are encouraged to practice. Parents may also support the
school in cultivating disciplined behaviour in their wards. The Class

students. Students are expected to abide by the school rules.
