Care And Well-Being Of Pupils:

At SVIS, we believe in promoting students’ personal and social development and fostering positive attitudes within them. This is done through the quality of teaching and learning; through the nature of  the relationships amongst students, teachers and parents; through the specific pastoral and homeroom systems. Pastoral care assists students to develop positive self-esteem, goal setting and negotiation, enhancing their strengths and other protective factors contributing to their resiliency as well as developing a sense of social cohesion that together can improve their overall health and wellbeing.

We have carefully developed a culture of wellbeing and recognized the need to plan for it. Students have opportunities to show leadership and have their opinions heard and acted on. Teachers strive towards creating an atmosphere where students feel happy and are at ease to share their views, ideas and grievances if any.

The House System:

The House System is designed in SVIS to embody the values and ethos of the school and aims to be an integral part of our school community. The efficient management of a school depends upon the quality of the House system functioning in the school. A House consists of a group of children effectively led by a responsible teacher (House Master/House Mistress) who acts as a parent, guide, philosopher and friend for every member of the House. A House inherently provides a family atmosphere helping the child to become physically fit, socially adjusted, emotionally balanced and morally upright.

House System Objectives in SVIS:

• To provide a smooth transition from home life to school life for all students.
• To develop situation, which fulfill the social and emotional needs of the children.
• To help socialization of pupils to integrate themselves well into corporate life.
• To inculcate the sense of responsibility to take his tasks in life earnestly and discharge they well.

House System in SVIS:

Sree Vidyanikethan international school is “Unique” and “Distinct” because of two special features:

• It is co-educational
• It is residential

It is “Home away from Home” and provides family & homely atmosphere in making child physically fit. Socially adjusted, emotionally balanced & morally upright.

The efficiency of a residential school depends upon the quality of the house system.

SVIS students are divided into four houses named as:

• Anjana
• Garuda
• Sesha
• Simha

These four houses represent hills of Tirumala. Each house is under charge of a House master/House Mistress and has students as House Captains, Vice Captains and Prefects who are responsible for organization and discipline. All competitions in games and co-curricular activities are held on a ‘house’ basis.

Each House is allotted a colour.

• Anjana is Red
• Garuda is Yellow
• Sesha is Blue
• Simha is Green

The house system forges bonds of loyalty, brings children of different age groups together, develops a better student-teacher relationship, encourages self- discipline and arouses greater team spirit.

Students are divided equally in to four houses according to their class strength. School teaching staff also divided equally in to four houses.
