Students are divided into four houses which have been assigned a colour each. They are, "Phoenix" (green), "Centaur" (blue), "Pegasus" (red), and "Orion" (yellow). Every year, the houses compete for two trophies: the Sports Cup (awarded for athletics performance), and the House Cup (awarded for other merits such as drama, science, mathematics, etc). Each house has a house captain, who is elected by the students.
The school has two auditoriums. It has senior and junior science laboratories, a computer laboratory and other facilities like libraries, art rooms and a music room.[4]
There are sports events conducted for classes 1 to 12 and kindergarten.[5] Cricket, volleyball, basketball, football and throw-ball are the permitted outdoor sports, along with badminton, chess and annual races.
