01Three servicesCounselling, guidance, health

Who a student can turn to.

  • Student counsellor

    Someone on standby.

    A designated member of the faculty is on standby to answer questions and to give advice and support when a student needs it. The counsellor helps with academic concerns, non-academic issues and behavioural matters that teachers flag.

    How to reach: call the line for your child's class and ask for the counsellor.

  • Career and university counselling

    Guidance for what comes next.

    The Vice Principal for Class VI to XII and the Teacher-in-Charge give guidance on career choices, university applications and the steps for higher study at home and abroad.

    How to reach: call the line for Classes VII to XII and ask for career guidance.

  • The health centre

    Minor health issues, during the day.

    A health care facility on the campus handles minor health issues during the school day. Serious cases are handed over to the parents, so that the family decides on treatment.

    How to reach: call the line for your child's class and ask for the health centre.

04HealthOn the campus, during the day

Looking after health during the school day.

The school looks after the health of its students with a health care facility on the campus and a sick room. The building has drinking water and fire extinguishers on every floor, and separate toilets for boys and girls on every floor.

When a case is serious, the school hands it over to the parents so that the family can decide on treatment. That is why the school asks families to keep their contact details current.

Keep contact details current

Tell teachers and the office in writing when an address, phone number, email or emergency contact changes.
