To impart a healthy competitive spirit among students and to include the habit of working together and training in leadership qualities, an efficient system of ‘houses’ has been introduced.
All the students belong to one house or the other and will be guided by a teacher assisted by a house captain (a student).
All competitions are held house –wise. A regular record of student’s participation and achievements in house activities is maintained and merit points are awarded to each house.

A Chinese proverb very aptly states, “Teach me, and I will forget. Show me, and I might remember. Involve me, and I will never forget.” To a very great extent, the theoretical knowledge is enhanced when a co-curricular activity related to the content taught, is organized. Intellectual development of the personality is achieved to a great extent, in the classroom itself.
Our school has various clubs functioning under the able guidance of the teachers. The students and teachers work together to make the Cultural Fest, Sports Meet, Fun Streak, Genesis and the Annual day programmed a grand success.
