IHS has actively embraced an innovative and progressive tradition for over 30 years. Our founder, Mrs. S. Bolar talks about her journey and her vision.
Creating a safe environment for students is of utmost importance to us. Here are some of the security measures we have put into place to ensure student safety.
Eating healthy and staying active are an integral part of school life.
At IHS, we teach students to care for their bodies through physical activity and proper nutrition.
Poor physical health is detrimental to the ability to learn effectively. Health problems like obesity, chronic fatigue, and sleep deprivation can be worsened by lack of physical activity and poor nutrition, and lead to challenges that prevent students from achieving their academic potential. Our comprehensive wellness policy and emphasis on exercising and eating well help our students build a strong foundation of health and fitness to carry them into adulthood.
Physical activity
Students are encouraged to be energetic, active and physically fit
Our curriculum-based sports program teaches students the importance of physical fitness and its impact on overall wellbeing
A minimum of three to five physical education classes each week contribute to cardiovascular and musculo-skeletal health
Nutrition
Health Ambassadors from Class 10 eat lunch with younger students once a week , and ask them questions about their food habits, physical activity, and sleep routine, giving them friendly and timely advice for improvement as required. Any anomalies they observe are reported to the class teacher for further action, if necessary.
Wellness policy
Student health information is collected twice a year to enable us to track changes in health status
Our fully-equipped infirmary is staffed by a qualified nurse who attends to minor injuries and diagnoses simple ailments like fever.
On the advice of the staff nurse, a student may be sent home to rest and recover in case they are injured or feeling unwell. In such cases, parents are expected to pick their child up from school within one hour of being notified. If on the other hand, the staff nurse deems further medical attention to be necessary, students will be taken to a suitable doctor/clinic/medical centre/hospital as the school deems fit. Parents are expected to arrive at the medical facility to take custody of their child within an hour of being notified.
In the interests of all students, we have a strict policy that prohibits students from attending school if they are unwell. Our continuous assessment policy ensures that illness-related absence does not significantly impact grades.
