CODE OF DISCIPLINE

            St. Xavier's values the basic common discipline necessary for the smooth running of any educational institution. Punctuality, neatness and uniformity of dress are insisted upon while courtesy, consideration for others, and a cooperative spirit are encouraged. It is intended that self-discipline and sense of responsibility should, by stages, become part of every student's personal character for life.

• Neither in school time nor outside of it are students allowed to ride any form of motorized vehicles into the school premises.
• Students are expected to be present for the school assembly.
• Habitual late coming is unacceptable. The school gates close after the first bell, before the start of the school assembly. Late comers are not normally allowed to enter the campus.
• Students may enter or leave the campus only through authorised entry gates. Students may not go outside the campus during school hours except with the written permission of an authorised school official.
• Students are not normally permitted to bring portable electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, data storage and transfer devices such as pen drives, music players, cameras, and so forth. Such items in the possession of students will be confiscated and fines will be imposed. They are returned to the students along with their school leaving/ transfer certificates.
