School Bag / Backpack Policy

A school bag should not be heavy for children to lift on any day.

The purchase of well-designed backpacks with compartments, padded straps, and a hip-strap help distribute the load evenly resulting in promoting good posture. When buying a school bag, do keep the following in mind:

– It should be lightweight, simple, durable and washable.

– It should have a separate compartment for the snack box and water bottle to prevent spills that damage your child’s books.

– Primary level children need to climb up the stairs to reach their classrooms. Therefore, rolling bags with extendable handles and wheels are not an option.

To ensure the school bag doesn’t get too heavy, get your children (Years 4-10) in to the habit of packing their school bags every night according to their timetable, bringing only required notebooks and textbooks for each subject. English and Urdu dictionaries and Atlases are kept in the classroom cupboards to avoid carrying extra weight.

Schoolbag Packing Routine

To ensure your child’s bag is not too heavy for their comfort and safety, make and follow a daily schoolbag packing routine. Here is what they will need in school:

Years 1-3Years 4 – 10
• Snack box
• Water bottle
• Diary
• Snack box. Water bottle. Stationery. Diary
• Pack bags based on timetables. Carry only required notebooks and textbooks for each subject as specified by teachers


Note About Fancy Items and Water Bottles

Please note that fancy keychains, stationery items, and water bottles, including tumblers, are strictly prohibited at school. These items generally cause distractions and some can also pose safety concerns.

Parents are advised to send simple, clearly labelled water bottles and essential school supplies only for students. Any fancy, expensive items brought to school will be confiscated. School will not be responsible for them if lost or misplaced.
