Social and Physical Training
Intramural games and sports are conducted to give maximum opportunity to every boy to develop his/her student talents for leadership, sportsmanship and team sprit. Principles of trust, co-operation, self-reliance, hard work and honesty are inculcated in great measure through co curricular activities in the school. Some of the co-curricular activities encouraged at St. Xavier’s are: public speaking, dramatics, drawing and painting, music and singing; excursions and educational tours. The house system (In the high school) controls most of these activities.
For physical education one hundred marks per term will be included in the general proficiency at the end of the school year.
