Discipline and Development of Character
Without discipline of mind and body we fail to develop character. Mastering a skill is a relatively easy proposition but devoid of character, this skill becomes meaningless. Good character cannot be given or gifted to a child; deliberate choice, foresight and perseverance become essential requirements in its development. Our educational programme offers the environment to develop ethical reasoning and sound moral judgement in our children. We expect them to behave honestly, sensibly, confidently and courteously at all times so as to develop a positive self-image, which enables them to recognize human worth. In pursuit of this goal we strive to provide:
- Good curriculum and a disciplined environment.
- Regulated responsibility and self-monitored behavioral patterns.
- Emphasis on commitment.
The students are required to be punctual, follow dress regulations and observe norms and decorum of the school. Organized sessions of counseling and intimation to and involvement of parents and a system of fines is used to handle breaches of order and discipline.
Academic Honesty
The school is a learning community in which students experience educational practices that honor and empower them. The school works with students to design the education and training needed for their academic and career success through programs that develop and enhance skills, competencies, attitudes, and values. To take advantage of the educational opportunities at FESS students must not engage in any unlawful means to pass exams or tests.
Consequences
In any case of academic dishonesty, the following consequences may occur:
- Cancellation of assessment/exam/test in question.
- Notification to the student's parents.
- Removal from any leadership positions including, but not limited to, captaincy, prefect position, etc.
