Failure to secure pass marks in either component will render the student ineligible for promotion.

CO-SCHOLASTIC AREAS

Education extends beyond academics. At Blooming Buds Bethania, we believe that every child possesses unique talents and abilities that can be nurtured through active participation in co-scholastic activities. Success is not measured merely by winning but by the willingness to participate, learn, and grow through experience.

In accordance with the objectives of the National Education Policy, the school places great emphasis on sports, arts, cultural activities, and life skills development. Every student from Classes VI to XII is encouraged to pursue a hobby and become an active member of a club based on their interests and talents.

House System

To foster leadership qualities, team spirit, discipline, loyalty, and healthy competition, students are grouped into four houses:

• Emerald House
• Ruby House
• Sapphire House
• Topaz House

Various inter-house competitions are organized throughout the academic year to provide opportunities for students to showcase their talents and develop confidence.
