Apart from regular academics , there were time slots extracurriculars as well as for scripture classes. None the less the most awaited hour of the week is last hour of Friday, where students flaunt their talent in singing, dramatics, mimicry etc within the classroom confines.

The campus is usually vibrant in June July, with copius bougainvilla blooms and the fiery red Gulmohar trees as if they welcomed wards to a new academic year. Time and again one would encouter boards which read "Please converse in English" as an expected behaviour.The Punja or Gavaskar staduim was innaguated by none other than the Little master in early 80s

Morning Assemblies, Student speeches ( articles ripped straight out of CSR magazine),morning hymns and the daily passage read from the Bible, Bullying by Prefects, getting caught on wearing chappals, poor fund collections and the regular National anthem ( with pledge forming part of the routine on every Fridays)
