These rules and regulations are applicable on all students registered at SGHS.

Uniform & Grooming
Students should wear a proper school uniform and shoes in order to maintain balance and order among the students as it helps to eliminate bullying due to the fact that everyone is dressed the same and children cannot be teased for wearing something unusual or different.

The uniform must be clean, well pressed & shoes must be polished. A student must carry a shoe shiner. Sports/Games uniforms are mandatory for days schedules for P.E or otherwise advised by the teacher. A cadet cut for boys and a braid for girls is necessary.

All students must wear a simple wrist watch. Belts with buckles, fashion, jewellery, colored hair bands and wearing any kind of makeup is strictly prohibited. When your child leaves for school, please keep a check that he/she has avoided any objectionable clothing or accessory.

Discipline
We believe that for any child to succeed, he needs to be disciplined. Discipline is shortly defined as practice of mental, moral and physical powers to promote order, regularity and efficient obedience, correction, training supplied by adversity. Their manner of movement should be quiet and orderly, at all times.

Children are advised to behave in an orderly manner in the school and in public places.

Don’ts
