We, at St. Xavier’s believe in the law of love that is written in the human heart which is universal and binding on all. Yet, we thought it is important to give certain guidelines given the weak human nature.

guided to seek admission, elsewhere, where the child would benefit better

Guidelines for Parents:
Education is a collaborative endeavour of the school, parents and the society. The parents have equal responsibility for the education and character formation of the student as the school. Hence,
23. We advise you to reach the child on safe mode of conveyance to the school on time. Those who come late will be given late remark. Disciplinary actions will be taken on repeated latecomers.
24. Please send the child with clean and neat uniform and with clean shoes and school bags. The external appearance of the child boosts his/her self-confidence. All students must have at least two sets of uniform, black shoes and one set of sports uniform and sports shoes.
25. Please make sure that the child has breakfast before coming to the school. Make sure that the child comes to school with lunch, water and the required books and stationery.
26. Please make the child study regularly at home, from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the standard in which he/she is in. Engaging private tutors for your children may prove injurious to solid work and progress in studies. Parents shall take prior permission from the principal before registering for private tuition.
27. Please check the school diary regularly for communication from the teacher or the principal. Three negative remarks by teachers, for bad behaviour of the student, will require the parents to meet the coordinator for guidance. After each three remarks, the Principal will add a
remark. Three remarks from the Principal for bad behaviour will result in suspension of the student for a fixed number of days. Student with repeated delinquent behaviour shall be advised to leave the school without any justification. The Principal shall have the final say in this
matter. Ref: Secondary School Code (1979) Rule 56
28. If there are any complaints, give it in writing directly to the principal, with the name, class and division of the student. Parents, guardians and others may not see the students or interview their teachers during school hours without the written permission of the Principal.
29. For the sake of the safety of the children no private cars and other vehicles are allowed inside the school premises before, during and after school.
30. Notify the school immediately in case of change of address.
