UNIFORM:
Uniform in schools instill a sense of pride and dignity in all the students starting from the primary classes to the secondary. Students feel a special pride in their school uniform that makes them feel confident and enables them to hold their heads high. They learn to respect the uniform of their school and also earn the responsibility of maintaining the reputation of the school intact with proper behaviour and discipline as well. This begins in childhood and develops with age, so that this character trait remains with them throughout their lives.
At SVIS, students wear a neat and well-presented uniform which reflects well on the school’s discipline policy. Our school’s purpose is to instill a feeling of oneness and remove barriers.

STUDY SUPPORT:
A well planned study support system helps our students with their academic achievements and progress. Teachers develop better relationships with students to identify and address their specific learning needs which enhance the self-esteem of our learners and provides motivation to learn.
Study support gives the students individualized help with their work as well as an opportunity to consolidate their learning. Better understanding can be gained which increases them confidence in their ability to handle schoolwork. The time invested is highly productive and leads to the focused learning. It also helps in setting goals, effective time management and self-regulated learning.
For students who are struggling in class and who are reluctant to ask for help, the study support environment allows them to seek assistance from peers, mentors and teachers because of the high adult-pupil ratios, absence of disruptive pupils and the trust established between students and teachers. Seeking help leads to greater understanding, which enables students to achieve mastery of the material and gain a greater confidence in their ability to be effective learners.
STUDY SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS APPEARING FOR BOARD EXAMS
In SVIS we are concerned about our student’s success in board exams and our teachers are working rigorously even after school hours to offer them exam prep classes.

This helps the student not only to have a positive approach towards board examination but also helps them to strengthen their basics.

We believe that the science of today is the technology of tomorrow. Science is a way of thinking much more than it is an embodiment of knowledge.

The exhibits were from streams of Science including Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Incorporating interdisciplinary learning helps the students to coordinate their subjects, which was showcased in the form of their projects and exhibits in Social Science, Mathematics and as well as in Information Technology.
The splendid presentation of the students’ skills would have been impossible without the surveillance of the Principal Mr. Keiran Eugene Rigney, Vice Principals and teachers. It was a total coordination of the whole staff to formulate the day in a grand way.

There were around 250 participants from all streams of sciences, who captivated the interest of the audience with their attention-grabbing exhibits. The children demonstrated their exhibits with a lot of pleasure and enthusiasm. All the dignitaries and the parents could sense the zeal of creativity among the students.
