The H.O.D boarding works closely with the school matron, cateress, security personnel and other members of the staff for the smooth running of the school routine.
There are various interactive moments such as house meetings held every Thursday between the respective house teachers and the students to discuss issues touching on their welfare in the boarding section.
The boys are otherwise trained to live harmoniously as a family where mutual understanding and respect should never prevail.
