School Regulations
School rules are kept to a minimum and are concerned mainly with the health and safety of all pupils and the governing principle of consideration of others. IPS believes that children should develop self-discipline which is based on a sense of responsibility, an understanding of rules and a caring attitude for others as opposed to fear. The school therefore aims to correct rather than to punish children's failures and to use them as opportunities for learning. In September 1999 a school uniform was introduced. All children are expected to look neat and tidy at all times. White shorts must be worn on physical education days, long hair should be tied back and children may not wear rubber thongs or open shoes to school.

School Clinic
A fully qualified nurse is in attendance at the school every day during school hours .

School Canteen
Children bring their own packed lunch and a sufficient amount of juice or water. They are able to buy healthy western and traditional Mauritian foods as well as fruit, juice and soft drinks from the canteen which operates in the school grounds. Children are regularly given talks on healthy nutrition and and the buying of sweets and candies is discouraged.

School Year
The School year starts in September and is divided into three terms: Christmas, Easter and final term. Children can be admitted at the start of any term depending on the availability of places. We do not encourage children to take leave during school term and will only grant permission for this under exceptional circumstances.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday: 8:15 to 14:45
