Dear Parents/Guardians

Welcome to the academic year 2017-2018!

We commence the year with an enrollment of around 430 students and faculty of 24, having vast experience of teaching O levels students. We have a shared goal of helping your child learn in a congenial environment for enhanced outcomes. Our goal is to guide all the girls towards academic success, make them disciplined and to help build their critical thinking skills that will help them blossom into adulthood.

35 of our students are among the High Achievers in (CIE 2017) Cambridge International Examination O’ level. We are proud of them.

● High Achievers of Class-11

2 students have achieved 9A*s/As

8 students have achieved 8A*s/As

10 students have achieved 7A*s/As

9 students have achieved 6A*s/As

6 students have achieved 5A*s/As

● High Achievers of Class-10

32 students have achieved 2A*s/As

33 students have achieved 1A*s/As

We would like to share important information with you which will help your child’s learning throughout the year.  

● Discipline

We expect all the students to be disciplined and well behaved in and out of school. They should be in proper school uniform and shoes. A casual appearance will not be acceptable. Mobile phones are not allowed in the school premises and if found, the cell phone will be confiscated for a term. The students should refrain from being absent from the school as it adversely affects their academic progress at this level. Kindly avoid unnecessary pickup of the child from school before dispersal time.

● Appointment

Parents seeking appointment with the Headmistress / Senior Mistress, Counsellor and teachers can call 

Mr. M. Akhlaq (Office Assistant) on telephone no. 02135842291. All appointments will be scheduled after 2:30 pm.

● Communication

We assure you of my usual support and also look forward to the parental involvement that is a crucial ingredient in the success of each child. Our blog tcsdkgirls.blogspot.com is accessible to all students for updated information and their effective learning.
