St. Stanislaus High School

Dear Parents,

Greetings to you
Its always winter at Christmas time. A time to share, renew and relish. That’s what LOVE is all about. As we strive to live the Christmas Spirit, we present you with a fresh life style at Stanislaus. On consultation with the teachers we have put together a few starters. We hope you will advise your son to follow those rules from tomorrow onwards.
We wish you a very happy winter vacation.
Enjoy this festive season.

The three bell formula:
The three ring formula is to be in place when we begin and after every break.
At the beginning of the day and after the two breaks
1st ring  - All students freeze where they are.
                (duration 30 seconds)
2nd ring – Students & teachers move towards their classes.
                (duration 7 mins)
3rd ring – All students & teachers are in their places, silence is
                maintained, we begin the National Anthem or begin with  
                prayers and teaching.
Teachers and leaders to take their position before the first ring.

Permanent Record of all Remarks: ( The PCR system)
The new system of keeping track of all Remarks & Merits recorded in the calendar will be followed.
A system called the Yellow Card system will be introduced soon. Each student will have an individual Personal Card Record (PCR) similar to the library card. This card will be maintained by the Class teacher all through the year. The card will reflect the student status in the class. Calendar data will be transferred to the card monthly by the Class teacher.
Data from this card will be used for updating the Student record on the computer. This record will be carried forward to the Leaving Certificate at the end of the student’s career.
Merits and improvement progress will also be recorded on this card.
These cards will be kept with class teacher.

Follow up of Students who get a “Due for Red Card” Remark:
A student who gets more than 5 Remarks in the calendar will be given a “due for a Red Card” Remark, subsequently teachers will be alert to such students and mentally record their behaviour pattern progress. In case there is no progress, a red card will be issued in consultation with the Academic Council teachers and parents. Refer calendar rules pg 29. 

Respect for leaders and the School Council:
Every student is expected to respect the leaders and the Student Council students and obey their instructions given to them promptly, failing which strict action will be taken.

Merits and their value:
Star system to be introduced and certificates to be awarded to meritorious students.

Report Cards to reflect the students behaviour:
All report cards have a remark column. Teachers could use this column to reflect the behaviour of the student. The PCR could be used for this.

Movement of students in and out of class:
Follow the left hand rule and maintain silence with hands behind. This left hand rule (LHR) will be followed all through.

Reminders:

• School calendar must be brought to school DAILY.
• Ours is a NO PLASTIC school. Use an appropriate water bottle and use only recyclable bags.

Year after year, the Staff and students of St. Stanislaus School have been going on this pilgrimage to Mt. Mary’s Basilica. It is a tradition which has been originated as an epidemic ravaged our School many years ago. The then Principal sought Divine intervention and made a vow that if our School was spared, its students would go on an annual pilgrimage to the Mount, a promise that we honour till this day.

We are here today (Tuesday, 8^th December 2009) to praise and thank our Almighty God without whom, the first line of our School’s 146 year history could not have been written. It is He who has sustained us and He will take our school through and beyond the next decade.

We are also here today to ask God’s blessings on the students of Std. X.

“Stanis Star” – Shine Just the Way You Are! Yes! That was the message being sent out by our Stanislites at the Annual Awards Day Function held on Saturday, 12th September 2009 in the School Hall at 5:00 p.m. The 146th Annual Awards Day was presided over by the parents of the ex-school Captain Master Azaan Chowdhry and the parents of the SSC School topper Master Pranav Deshpande. It was a fun filled evening as the “StanisStars” exhibited their talents via a skit, foot tapping dances and an inspiring choral recitation piece. The School magazine Stanislite ‘08 was released on this special occasion. The merit rankers at the SSC Boards were also felicitated along with all the prize winners from Stds. V to IX. The evening ended with a soulful rendition of the School Anthem, reiterating the theme of the evening
