Safety
Schools are evolving, and responsibilities for safety and health management have become paramount. We believe that safety for all is imperative and needs to be advanced resourcefully. A strategic approach to managing risk should be seen as an enabler, not just to avert accidents and work-related health problems for both staff and pupils but to build a culture of sensible risk management, linked to a curriculum where teaching young people can develop their capability to assess and manage risk. The school has in place an efficient visitor management system to monitor and facilitate smooth entry processes on the school campus. Risk is a part of life, but accidents do not need to be, so while schools need to make sure staff, pupils, and visitors are safe, they also need to make sure that, as the citizens of tomorrow, students are helped to become risk aware without becoming needlessly risk-averse. In this sense, ‘teaching safely’ and ‘teaching safety’ need to go hand in hand. The school conducts mock drills and teaches disaster management techniques through workshops as well as the curriculum, to prepare its staff and students to face all sorts of natural and man-made disasters. A controlled monitoring system is ensured through more than 300 CCTV cameras installed across the campus.
Transport
The school runs a fleet of buses catering to specified routes in Delhi only. Our buses are speed-governed and have conductors and female teachers/attendants to ensure the safety of the onboard students.
