Rules and Directives
“We should follow rules to have a disciplined society. If one does not follow the rules and does whatever he/she wishes to do, then there will be a chaos all around. Therefore, rules are important and must be followed in order to maintain the tranquility of the society.“
- Sonali Juyal
Protocol
ANTS are expected to have the right attitude towards learning and be disciplined. All ANTS are expected to know and apply five basic principles that will help them to achieve a high standard of personal discipline.
These principles are as follows:
All students ("ANTS") are expected to maintain a positive attitude towards learning and uphold a high standard of personal discipline. This is achieved by adhering to five core principles:
- Follow Rules - Rules are essential for maintaining order and preventing chaos.
- Show Respect - Respect yourself, your family, the school, and the community.
- Take Responsibility - Be accountable for your actions. Understand that irresponsible behaviour has consequences not only for yourself but also for others.
- Build Relationships - Foster positive relationships with family members, teachers, friends, and fellow students. Strong relationships promote mutual understanding and support.
- Practice Reflection - When mistakes occur, reflect on them and learn from the experience to avoid repeating the same error.
Positive conduct will be acknowledged and praised. Disruptive behaviour will result in appropriate consequences.
Birthday Celebrations
Students are not allowed to distribute sweets, chocolates or any other individual gifts to classmates or teachers.
Instead, we encourage them to bring a potted plant or a book for the class library.
