Admissions Procedure
Admission to the School is open to all boys
and girls between the ages of 9 to 16 irrespective of social status,
religion or nationality.
Applications are usually accepted for children seeking entry into Classes
V and VII for which the child has to be registered. A limited number
of applications can also be considered for entry to VI , VIII, IX &
Class XI. Applications are received and children called for Entrance
test/Interviews only if there are Vacancies. No admission is made in
Class X and XII. Please note that registration for any particular year
is NOT transferable to any other year.
Registration Forms along with prospectus for V and VII are available
in the School office. Completed registration forms should be sent by
post or faxed to the School, the child will however only be registered
on receipt of the appropriate fee remitted by Banker's Draft made payable
to the Headmaster, Lawrence School, Sanawar at the State Bank of Patiala,
Sanawar. In addition, the school will also require a photocopy of the
child's birth certificate. A Transfer Certificate from the previous
school (if applicable) is required at the time of admission.
Admission to the school takes place in Feb for Classes V, VII and other
for other Classes in April. For Classes V and VII admission is subject
to the results of an entrance examination and interview held in November
of the previous year. Given the nature of the School site and the demanding
nature of the curriculum, the School reserves the right to refuse admission
to those children who, in the view of the School's Resident Medical
Officer, would be unacceptably challenged by the physical regime of
the School.
The Headmaster may, at his discretion and for the reason of facilitating
the children of NRI to seek admission into the school relax the Hindi
requirement of the entrance examination. A 30% of subsidy in the fees
is admissible to the wards of serving Army/Navy/Air force Personnel.
The admission of a child will mean a complete acceptance by the parent/guardian
of all School Rules as in force or as amended from time to time at the
discretion of the School.
It is important for the School Office to have the parent's latest address.
Offers of vacancy are datelined and will automatically lapse if formalities
are not completed by the stipulated date.
The School reserves the right to refuse admission/re-admission without
assigning any reason. The Headmaster's decision will be final.
All newly admitted children will be on probation for one year during
which the parents and School will decide if each child should continue

Personal Account
5. At the time of admission parents are requested to deposit Rs. 500/-
in the name of their child by opening a Savings Bank Account with the
State Bank of Patiala located close to the School Office for which they
are requested to bring two photographs of their child/children. Further
deposits will be made by the School into this account from the Personal
Account of the child. Withdrawals are regulated by the child’s Housemaster/mistress.
Expenses incurred by the child such as Tuck Shop purchases through slips,
pocket money and other routine expenses are debited to this account.
If the child’s birthday falls within the term the Housemaster/mistress
will sanction a fixed amount of Rs. 350/- (Sr. School) and Rs. 250/-
(PD) and 2 Kg cake for the child.

the purpose of toilet and stationary items etc. which are then debited
to the child’s personal account.
8. Parents are requested to desist from providing their children with
additional money or to open credit accounts for them in local shops

your child and a request from the School for his/her withdrawal is inevitable.

pupils.
Tuck & Eatables from Home
17. No Tuck is permitted to be brought into the school from home or
other outside sources. Parents should be aware that such items can easily
lead to jealousies and instances of bullying within a boarding school.
Visits to the School & Leave of Absence
18. Parents are required to read these carefully as these are enforced
strictly. We are frequently asked to make exceptions as special cases
but this cannot be done without causing heart-burning among other children
and making ourselves open to charge of favouritism. Therefore no exceptions
will be made.
(a) New Admissions: In the best interest of the child, the parents
are not permitted to visit the school. This is to give the child an
opportunity to settle in to the routine. House Masters/Mistresses will
contact parents directly if there are any difficulties.
(b) All leave of absence is sanctioned by the Housemaster/Housemistresses,
as per school rules, who may refuse permission for several reasons,
e.g. a school function, a previously arranged excursion, inter-school
fixture or for reasons of discipline or poor performance in academics.
(c) Permission from the Housemaster/Housemistress must be sought at
least 24 hours in advance for any visit by the parents or any other
relative on any day other than the days specified in the school calendar.
(d) Please send your child back to the school within the specified time
and date on termination of the leave of absence.
(e) A family ceremony leave can NOT be prefixed or suffixed with any
of the holidays, sleeping Out Passes or Founder’s Break.
(f) It is ultimately in the interest of a child that the parents do
not encourage extra outings over and above the regular ones allowed
by the school.
Leave of Absence for Children
19. Leave will be sanctioned only for the following reasons:
Nature of leave Duration
(a) Family Ceremony Leave 4 days inclusive of travel time will
be granted for wedding of sibling or
real aunt/uncle.
(b) Condolence of immediate relation 1 day + travel time
(c) Medical Leave Medical leave will be considered only on the production
of a medical certificate duly endorsed by the School RMO. The duration
will be specified on the certificate. Medical Leave SHOULD NOT BE MISUSED
under any circumstances whatsoever.
20. All leave will be sanctioned by your child’s Housemaster/Housemistress
on receipt of a written request stating clearly reasons for leave. A
pass will be issued to the child which will have to be returned to the
House Master/Mistress at the conclusion of the leave period. Please
note that the leave is sanctioned by the House Staff and NOT the Headmaster.
Any request to Headmaster will merely be passed on to the concerned
House Staff thus delaying the granting of any sanction required.
21. No child will be allowed to leave alone or with friends or servants
without the written authority of the parent.
Sleeping Out Passes (SOPs)
22.
(a) The child will be issued an out pass as per date and time scheduled
in the School Calender.
(b) Passes for SOP will be collected from the Housemaster/Housemistress.
(c) To avail an SOP the parents must inform the Housemaster/Housemistress
in writing well in advance.
(d) In case of a student going with any one else other than the parent
two letters are required-one from the child’s parent clearly specifying
the name of person authorized to take the child and another from the
person taking responsibility of the child.
Notes: These rules apply equally to parents residing or holidaying
at Kasauli or nearby stations.
23. Parents are requested not to ask the Headmaster or Housemaster/Housemistresses
to sanction deviations from these rules as these requests would amount
to requests for deviations from school policy.
Medical
24. Parents or friends coming from an infected area must inform the
R.M.O. of the fact. An extremely serious view will be taken of any breach,
intentional or otherwise, of this rule.
25. Parents visiting Sanawar when the child is in quarantine do so
at their own risk. They will observe quarantine restrictions as laid
down from time to time by the R.M.O.
26. On return from any Medical Leave the child must first report to
the RMO and take his/her permission to enter the dormitory.
27. Children who are found to be a known case of bed wetting may have
to be denied admission/withdrawn even at a later stage.
28. No orthodontic leave will be permitted during term time. Emergency
treatment may be undertaken with the permission of the RMO.
Change of Address
29. Any change of address must be notified in writing without delay
to the School Office. Verbal request for change of address will NOT
be acted upon.
