Rules & Regulations
– Building Discipline, Responsibility & Values
At Bharathi Matriculation Higher Secondary School, we believe that discipline is the backbone of education. Academic success, character development, and life values are possible only when students and parents work together with responsibility and mutual respect.
Our rules are designed not as restrictions, but as guiding principles that ensure every student of Bharathi grows into a responsible, respectful, and successful citizen.
