Rules & Regulations

Our Rules & Regulations

School rules are to be viewed as an aid to an individual’s growth as much as to enable him/her to become an integral part of the community. Rules exist to enable members of the community to know what is expected of them and to understand the norms.

Of course, there have always been a set of rules in force in the School, both written and unwritten, but we are now trying to put them down for all concerned to understand them clearly. Only such understanding will enable us all to observe them effectively, so as to strengthen our discipline and to make the environment conducive for growth of an individual and the community.

Over the years, rules have undergone changes through the cumulative experiences of the community here, and thus, even these rules, so as to keep pace with time, will undergo a change, which is the only constant. The secret of a happy community is that rules are kept to a minimum, just enough to lead a way of life that provides safety, well-being, good order and convenience of the majority. In short, self-discipline should grow steadily and create strong individuals in a strong community.

Failure to observe these rules will be regarded as a breach of school discipline. These rules, along with any additional regulations, which may be issued from time to time, apply during the term, whether or not a student is on or off the school campus.

Our Uniform

One of the basic philosophies of this School is our emphasis on total equality amongst our students. This is very important in promoting a sense of community and togetherness and eliminates any financial distinction between the children.

Equality is practiced in many ways – the same food eaten by all boarders (including the staff), the same uniform, the same living conditions, the same text books and note books, the same equipment and facilities for games and hobbies, the same discipline and so on.

This is why we are careful not to permit any signs of affluence amongst students and do not allow Mobile phones, laptops, digital tablets and any other expensive item on campus. We are sure no one cant fault this policy and parents are therefore requested to ensure that their child is not allowed to carry to School any items of value.

Our House System

In a day cum residential public school, the House System has a special relevance. Not only is each house an autonomous unit under the care of tutors who act as House Wardens, it is a structured community that helps to develop a spirit of loyalty, responsibility, leadership and healthy competition among students.

The students are guided, encouraged and enriched for competitions best suited to their aptitudes by able and responsible house master/mistresses and teachers. House Captains and all other Student Officials in MAMS are students who have poise, confidence and the ability to take initiative. Their views are encouraged and they are given authority and esponsibility.

The school is divided into four houses, which compete on the sports field and in a wide variety of other disciplines such as dance, music, debating, quizzing, and dramatics, amongst others. Every student on admission is placed in one of these houses randomly. Each house is headed by one boy and one girl known as House Captains, and by House Prefects.

The four houses are named after various mountain ranges found in India each having a different symbol (most commonly found Animal in that range), colour and motto.

NAME COLOUR MEANING

1. Aravali House (Energy. Power. Motivation)
2. Nilgiri House (Green Growth. Balance. Harmony)
3. Shivalik House (Sky Blue Integrity. Peace. Sincerity)
4. Vindhya House ( Yellow Love. Joy. Wisdom)

Class on Duty for Assembly
