Uniform and Overall Appearance of the Child

We would like to inform you that we have decided to lay extra emphasis on the cleanliness, hygiene, and overall appearance of our students from next session (April-2020). Please refer to the school diary and pay attention to the following points in particular.

1. Uniform – We don’t mind you buying the fabric (cloth) for the uniform from a shop of your choice as long as the colour and shade are right. Kindly ensure the following also.

• The uniform must be well-fitting (neither too large nor too small) and the child should look smart in it.

• The shirt and trousers/skirt should be washed as often as needed, so they Look neat and clean. It is desirable for each student to have two sets of regular uniform, in Addition to the PT uniform.

• Boys’ trousers must not be low-waist, narrow-bottom, or tight-fitting (drainpipes).

• Girls’ skirts must have normal pleats and be without a divider.

• The shirt and trousers/skirt should be well-ironed (and not crushed or crumpled).

• The shirt, for both boys and girls, is supposed to be half-sleeve and full sleeve in winter

• Shoes must be formal, black, leather shoes/School shoes which must be polished every day, and the child must not wear shoes that are torn or battered. Also, the child must wear fresh socks every morning (of the type specified, and not just any socks)

• All the other details of the uniform-such as tie (only in winter), belt, house emblem, I-card, etc. must also be taken care of.

• The child must wear the right uniform for the day. Classes I to X: regular uniform (PT uniform: Wednesday & Saturday).

5. Oral hygiene – The child must brush their teeth and clean their tongue in a proper manner every morning before coming to school.

6. Daily bath- Please see that the child has a bath every morning ( at least in the summer months) before they come to school.
