Medical Services
The school has a resident full-time qualified nurse who takes care of minor health problems and keeps student health records. All students undergo a full health check-up as part of the School’s Annual Medical Programme, records of which are kept by the school matron. In cases of emergency, government, private and the Aga Khan, hospitals are in close proximity.

Science Laboratories
The school has six well-equipped science laboratories (two each for Physics, Chemistry and Biology experiments).

Swimming Pool
Though the School does not have an in-house pool, swimming is compulsory. It is important for all students to learn how to swim. With this objective in mind qualified instructors conduct swimming lessons at a nearby swimming school. On Tuesdays, male instructors conduct lessons for boys and lady instructors conduct lessons for girls on Thursdays.

Canteen
The School’s canteen offers snacks and soft drinks at nominal prices during break-time. Food quality and costs are closely monitored by the school administration. As a safety measure, students are disallowed from buying food or drinks from outside the school premises.
