All students are placed in one of the four houses named after the Four Evangelists: St. Mark's House, St. Luke's House, St. Matthew's House and St. John's House. Each house is led by a captain and a vice-captain, who are responsible for organizing and conducting various co-curricular activities in the school. They are usually chosen on the basis of their academic performance in addition to their participation in sports and cultural activities. Apart from the house captains, there are also a school captain and a vice-captain.[12] Other members of the school cabinet includes school reporter, sports captain and vice-captain, activity captain and vice-captain and school editors.[13]

Various clubs form a central part of holistic learning in the school, namely the cultural club, science and maths club, literary club, sports club, eco club and yoga.

Controversy

The school landed itself in a controversy in 2012 by not allowing a Sikh student to wear a turban in school.[14][15][16] The issue was settled after the intervention of the government.[17][18][19][20]
