Daily routine

To instil discipline in our learners and their environment, the school follows a comprehensive daily programme. It accounts for the various aspects of an effective and conducive living and learning environment, and is reviewed as the term progresses to remain compatible with students' social and personal well-being.

Health centre

The school has a sick bay with facilities to care for staff and students. It is served by a visiting doctor, three visiting nurses and a resident nurse. First aid and immediate medical attention are available at all times; where necessary, students are referred to the nearest medical centre, with parents informed in all cases.

Security & safety

A safe, enclosed campus

The campus is enclosed by a perimeter wall and monitored by security cameras, with a team of security personnel on the gate and sensitive areas day and night. Fire extinguishers are placed on all buildings, and fire drills are held at the start of each academic year.
