School Community

School is an integral part of the community and the community is an  integral part of school. Community resources are utilised to enrich school programme

Home & School
On accepting a child at Hillwoods School the Principal and staff are committed to provide a suitable environment within which each student will be motivated to develop his/her academic, physical and personal faculties. Here, the school lays great emphasis on keeping a close, interactive communication with the parents in order to establish conditions for joint effort. School resources are made available to better the community
 
The School
  1. Strives to meet student’s personal and academic needs and to further the development of moral values
  2. To provide an environment in which the students feel valued and learn to work together in harmonious cooperation
  3. To give a challenging and balanced curriculum with a wide range of co-curricular activity
  4. To provide  personal guidance
  5. To inspire students to achieve high quality learning
  6. To be sensitive to respond to students and the guardians’ aspirations
  7. To give fair and equitable treatment along with opportunities to all

 

Though exploring academic excellence to the maximum of each one’s potential is the principal objective, equal importance is given to life beyond the school by inculcating in them self-confidence, self-discipline and ability to shoulder responsibilities and challenge. It tries to nurture honesty, courtesy, fairness and trustworthiness.

The School insists on high personal and co-operative behavior.  Parents are expected to support this objective and ensure  personal and moral discipline of their wards. A partnership between home and school which support student learning.

The students will be required to attend all activities and functions, after school hours, during holidays, at week-ends at all times,  on or off the school premises.

Parents are urged not to request absence of their ward for less than vital reasons.

In the interest of the school, the Principal may refuse request for absence, particularly in respect of holidays. The decision would be final.

We do not encourage impromptu absenteeism, except in an emergency. A prior written application is a must. In case of an emergency, a note must explain the reason for sudden absence.

The school reserves the right to take appropriate measures where a student is in breach of school discipline and conduct rules.

Where disciplinary decisions have to be taken, every effort will be made by the school to inform the sensitivity of the issue after proper investigation. Parents are expected to support and cooperate in maintaining the discipline, code of conduct and ethos of the school.

The Principal reserves the right to suspend or expel a student where deemed necessary. In academic matters, every care will be taken to advise parents about the child, according to his or her abilities.

Choice of syllabus, assessments, marking references, classes and sections and tutor and teaching remain matters for the school’s professional judgment.

The school expects the parents, preferably both father and mother, to attend PTMs regularly in order to play an important part in performance.

Parents are expected to ensure that their wards attend the school and all related activities, regularly and punctually.

Parents are asked to ensure that the students are dressed as per school uniform code and that they devote adequate amount of time to academic work at home.

Parents should ensure the student’s attending the school.  They are required to keep a close and proper control, supervision and guidance in respect of the child’s behavior.
