One of the Core Values of the PECHS Girls’ School is the discipline of regularity and punctuality of all its staff and children.
This rule is non-negotiable and we stand firm in our resolve to instil these values in those associated with us.
Practising punctuality is a great habit that demonstrates how serious you are in what you do. Whether it is a casual or professional meeting, being right on time shows how important time is for you and how you show respect and importance to others’ time. It enables us and others to acknowledge the importance and value of time.
Being on time helps you establish a good reputation and allows others to trust you. When you are punctual, others perceive you as polished and organised, rather than
Haphazard and hurried.
Our numerous School Clocks are synchronised and validated for accuracy every alternate day and these are the benchmarks for time. To help your children learn the value of punctuality and honesty, and to avoid unpleasantness in the mornings, you are requested to start the day on time and to synchronise your watches/clocks with Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) on the Internet. Needless to say, your smart phones will give you the correct time.
