Health & Safety

 

The safety and security of the children is of paramount importance for us. We already have strict security measures in place to ensure the well being of all children in the school campus, the details of which are available on the school website.

  • Timings for staff members and students have been changed to ensure that the staff members are in the school campus before the students. School gates will not open for the children before 7:15 a.m.
  • Children of classes I and II who go on their own or by vans have to be picked up from gate No. 2 (near the bank). Van drivers will not be allowed to enter the school gates from September 21 onwards.
  • Parents have been advised very strongly to get the credentials of the van drivers verified by the police and to keep a copy of it with them.
  • Parents have to always carry their I-cards when they visit the school. This is for the safety of the children.
  • Only parents are authorized to pick up the child from the school in case he leaves during the school hours.
  • In case of any emergency if a relative picks up the child before the school ends, parents have to ensure that the person carries an authority letter and photocopy of Aadhar card of the parent attested by him along with a self attested photocopy of his own Aadhar Card.
  • Fire safety system is in place complete with evacuation plans (put up in all classrooms), regular drills are held to ensure swift movement in times of calamity/contingency-natural or accidental. Faculty members are trained to handle the required equipment.
  • Do’s and Don’ts list during emergency is displayed on all class boards. “Drop, cover, hold” drill is held to make the students aware of the precautions to be taken during an emergency situation like earthquake.
  • Live talks by experts like policemen and doctors are organized to sensitize the children about various safety measures.
  • Two separate external agencies have been hired for the maintenance of hygiene & security of school property and children. Their staff works diligently to ensure cleanliness both during and after school hours.
  • All entry-exit points of school are monitored by CCTV Cameras and alert guards. CCTV cameras have also been installed at various points in the campus to cover all vulnerable areas like corridors, play grounds, outside washrooms, main gates etc.
  • Every corridor, classroom & ground is manned by faculty members at all times. The faculty members also monitor-very closely-potential problem hours like morning arrival, afternoon dispersal and recess.
  • SMS alerts are sent to parents to inform them of their wards absenteeism in order to curb the dangerous bunking trend.
  • Parents are also issued i-cards. Photographs of parents/van drivers are kept in record for safety during dispersal.
  • Two in-house electricians are on duty at all times to ensure electricity safety.
  • Open spaces in all corridors on all floors have been made more secure by installation of heavy steel rods and wire netting.
  • We have a well-equipped medical room complete with First-aid kits, stretcher and wheelchair, oxygen cylinders. It is supervised by a qualified doctor and a nurse. For serious injuries or sickness, the school has a tie up with a neighborhood hospital so that medical assistance can be provided without any delay.
  • RAIN WATER HARVESTING in school ensures no collection of stagnant water and breeding of mosquitoes.
  • RO PLANT has been installed in the school to provide clean, healthy drinking water.
