Discipline and Conduct

All St. Anselmites are expected to behave well at all times and in all places. They should always remember that the school is judged by their conduct. The whole hearted co-operation of the parents is expected at all the times in the formation of the character of their children. As the child progresses from the lower to the upper classes he / she will be given increasing opportunities to shift from conforming to externally imposed order to self-imposed discipline.

The school will insist on strict punctuality, greater school attendance, cleanliness in dress, general grooming and fidelity to study and work assignment. The following rules are to be strictly adhered to :-

Rules

1. The students must be in the school premises at least 5 minutes before the first bell. The school gates will close at the first bell and remain closed throughout the assembly-time during which perfect order and silence is to be maintained.

2. After the assembly all should go in silence to their respective classes. Moving along the corridors in groups, while classes are in progress also should be done in silence.

3. Regular late comers will be punished. The late comers and those who have been absent the previous day must bring an application from their parents/guardians, which they have to getsigned by the Principal.
