k) School Trips
School trips are important extensions of experiential learning opportunities outside
classrooms, and are central to holistic education and development. Students in all
classes have opportunities to participate in trips related to academics, service
activities, exchanges, adventure and international events.
Students are encouraged to attend the trips which are voluntary and under close
supervision of teachers, with safety of the children given paramount importance.
The same regulations and expectations as are applicable on regular school days,
apply during school trips. Children are ambassadors of our school hence they
should be courteous and well-behaved at all times.
When students go out on trips, they need to be a part of the group at all times,
during the stay, as well as their journeys to and from the site. Accordingly, a student
will not be permitted to leave the group or meet with anyone when they are out on
a trip, unless prior permission is given by the concerned Head/ Deputy Head.
Students opting for subjects such as Geography should note that course work and
field trips are an integral part of the subject for grading purposes and students are
required to attend them.
If a student commits a breach of school rules while on a school trip, she/he
will be sent back to Mumbai. Parents will then be notified of the time and
place from where to collect their child.
l) Celebrations
(i) Birthdays
The school recognises that birthdays are special occasions for students and parents,
and requests that birthday celebrations at school are kept simple. Parents are
requested not to send any fancy invitation cards, cake or take-home presents for
students or teachers. Chocolates, candies, lollipops or toffees may be distributed.
On their birthday, students may wear clothes of their choice that conform to norms
of modesty.
The school suggests that every child in the class is invited if a parent wishes to
distribute invitation cards in the class, for a birthday party to be celebrated at home.
Parents are requested not to send any gifts for any member of the school
staff.
