 SUSPENSION AND DISMISSAL

The Principal reserves the right to dismissal, from the school, any student whose conduct is, in his opinion, against the good moral tone of the school, immorality in word or deed, willful damage to school property, grave insubordination, contempt of any authority, unsatisfactory progress in studies, lack of diligence or the use of unfair means in examinations, bringing in dangerous articles & callous attitude towards school regulations are sufficient grounds for dismissal. The Principal is the sole judge regarding the dismissal of a student. Parents, when they apply for their ward’s admission to Xavier School, are understood to have accepted the Principal’s judgement in such matters as final and conclusive.

DISCIPLINE

The Principal and the Vice-Principal / Coordinators are responsible for the discipline in the school, with the assistance of all the Xavier teachers.

Here, in Xavier, we believe in a value-based common discipline necessary for the smooth running of the school. Punctuality, neatness, uniformity of dress, courtesy, consideration for others and a co-operative spirit are insisted upon. We also encourage initiative and positive expression of creative energy. The aim is that self-discipline, should, by stages, become part of every student’s personal equipment for life.

Freedom and autonomy are the basis of discipline. The students are left free to accept the atmosphere of the School, to learn in a free and cooperative manner. The school has no penal system for handling students who are found to be regularly uncooperative. Parents are simply asked to put them in another school which may be more suited to them. Freedom and its counterpart, responsibility, have to be learnt slowly and freely accepted, in an atmosphere in which students exercise judgement and make free choices about matters appropriate to their age and level of understanding. Students’ mistakes are tolerated as part of the process of learning, but repeated misbehavior against the spirit of the school and hindering other students from peacefully learning, is not tolerated, even if this causes pain to the parents of the stubborn uncooperative students.

 ACTIVITIES

Jesuits education may be described as formation taking place over a length of time. It aims to go beyond mere schooling and simple instructions. In our students we are dealing with impressionable persons of great dignity whose worth in their own eyes and God’s we are to encourage them to see. We confront them with challenges to excellence in order that they may appreciate and foster their talents.

To help our students discover and foster their talents, Xavier School provides various activities like :

• The Student Council, whose purpose is to unite the students in the pursuit of excellence in studies and all the values and aims of the School. Its President, Vice-President and representatives are elected by the students of Std. VI to X.

• Every student is expected to be a member of a minimum of 1 club and a maximum of 3 clubs.
• For self expression : Elocution & Entertainment, Dramatics, Debating, Press Club etc.
• Social Service, the Bharat Scouts & Clubs, Bulbuls, SAFE organizations, SPO etc.

They, however, should co-operate with the school by their total involvement, which calls for a real understanding of the school’s philosophy.

Parents should be living examples of the values taught to and expected of their wards. They should inform the Principal and the teachers concerned of any family problems or other pertinent facts that are necessary for a proper understanding and guidance of their wards. They should also participate in the growth and development of Xavier School.

To attain total harmony between the home and school :

IMPORTANT NOTICE

SOCIALLY USEFUL PRODUCTIVE WORK

Work education occupies a central place in the curriculum at all stages of school education i.e from Std. I to X.  It has been given the status of a full fledged subject. A pass in SUPW is essential for the awarding of the ICSE and ISC certificates. The assessment will be internal but a proper record of the student’s attitude is to be kept. The school has designed a set of programmes for the successful implementation of the subject.

The classroom is not only the place where the children learn. The environment and society are also sources through which the children acquire attitudes and knowledge. Therefore, the parents are requested to involve themselves in making their children aware of  their responsibilities at home or to the persons in the area in which they live. They should be encouraged to render service at home and to their neighbours. The service may take the form of helping parents in cleaning house, making the beds, polishing their shoes, assisting in the kitchen, helping with shopping, helping in the garden, visiting the sick, teaching children in the neighbourhood and so on. Kindly give your ward a specific job to do which will last for 20-30 minutes each day.
