Parents and Guardians are expected to conform to all the rules of the Schoolincluding the daily Chapel attendance, as they might pertain to the student and

/ or to themselves which are in effect from time to time by advice of the

Headmaster.

All correspondence must be addressed to the Headmaster and not to any othermember of the staff either by name or by designation. Every letter is replied

to and if there are telephonic queries, these may be addressed by any of thefollowing:

Lewis : 227

In this connection it is pointed out that while regular telephonic contact withthe boys is not permitted parents may speak with any of the above staff. On

occasions ofdire emergencies and birthdays, a boy may be called to the

phone by prior arrangement. He may also be allowed by his Housemaster /

7/29/2019 Fixture Card

12/16

Matron to phone home if there is a need felt. Calls made from any place other

than the School, would normally mean a serious breach of school discipline

liable to be strictly penalized. Please ensure that your son / ward does notbring with him to School a mobile phone. In case he does, and is caught,

he will be expelled immediately and no excuses will be entertained. Pocket

money is issued by the Housemaster / Matron who jointly operates the boys

bank account. Private money is strictly prohibited as are private charge accounts

in town or elsewhere. Violation may lead to expulsion. We try to impart an

equality of opportunity and monetary advantages and therefore this practice

of giving money to students besides what is permitted by the School(Pocket Money) is unacceptable. Kindly be so good as to co-operate.

Overnight leave may be applied for in writing and at least a week in advance fax no.0177 2671360. Any application not adhering to the weeks time

stipulated above will not be entertained and will be treated as null and void. In

respect ofnew boys joining the school for the first time, parents please be

informed that you are not expected to have any contact (telephonic or

otherwise) with your son / ward for the first eight weeks of his being in

school. Parents are also expected to adhere to the timings given for reporting

when the child is returning to school after any break. Late coming is notacceptable and penalties range from leave stop to detention, in addition to

a fine for late joining amounting to Rs.500/- per day. The parents co-operation in this regard is strongly solicited in case you would like your son

/ ward growing up in a disciplined manner, besides of course teaching

him the values of punctuality in life. The e-mail addressheadmaster@bishopcotton.com may only be used in cases of emergency and

school related enquiries. Applications / requests will not be entertained except

under signature.

7/29/2019 Fixture Card

13/16

With regard to breaks the following may please be noted:

(a) The school year is divided approximately into three terms i.e. March to May (Spring Term);

J une to August (Summer Term); September to November (Autumn Term). At the end of the first

term and the Old Cottonians Week, there is a break. Please refer to the Fixture Card to knowwhen the children will be allowed to depart from school.

(b) The school curriculum includes short excursions / tours / treks and an apprenticeship program

run by the Careers Club of the School. The latter is meant for classes IX to XII and it is expected

that every boy would have participated in at least two such programs during his time in school.

(c) Home travel for family ceremonies, functions, marriages etc. is normally not permitted.

These should conform to the school vacation periods whenever they occur and winter (December,

J anuary and February). Kindly note that your son / ward must have a 75% attendance to sit for

each of the terminal examinations failing which, he will not be allowed to take the tests due to theshortage of attendance. This conforms to what is expected by the Council for the Indian School

Certificate Examination.

(d) The second Saturday of certain months is a visiting Saturday and parents / guardians that

intend to take their child / ward out on overnight leave / exeat are expected to send in their

requests stating so, at least a week in advance of the date, failing which no leave / exeat will be

granted.

These rules override those published elsewhere previously. Requests for late return to

school after a break / holiday will not be accepted / entertained.

It may further be noted that parents / guardians are expected to make their own arrangements

for their sons / wards to travel back home for the winter vacation in November / December.

All parents are written to by their sons / wards once a week. All parents must also reciprocate bywriting to their children regularly. This is an important communication skill and sharing exercise.

Please insist on conformity. While the boys have access to e-mail and can book time at the

Schools Internet Browsing Centre, letter writing is compulsory. Similarly they must receive yourletters by regular post too.

Finally it is also stated that parents are welcome to participate in all the various activities of the

school, its Chapel Service, its ceremonies and functions and we will be always happy to have

you with us. Your attendance at the Schools Annual Speech Day, especially if your child is a

special awardee, is obligatory. No separate invitations or information other than that published
