SBOA uses a variety of publishers from Macmillan to Cordova for different subjects and all the books will be provided by the school.

For us parents it's a mad rush to finish brown papering the notebooks and binding the textbooks!

"Mummy, not the orange paper take the light brown ones, I like them better" with suggestions that sound more like ultimatums, I'm dreaming of the day that they will cover their own books!

But according to my wiser father, I might as well give up as he reminds me that he covered my books all through my school years!

Happy space creating for the new set of books!

The school bus picks up students from a point on the route closest to the students residence and drops them back at the same point. If the parent is not around to receive the child, the child is taken back to the school and the parents have to arrange to collect their wards from the school. The other option available is to send them via private vans. This is definitely more convenient as the pick up and drop are usually at your doorstep or closer than the school bus drop point and they usually wait for a few extra Min's. The biggest drawback is that all the operators use Mahindra vans(The green boxy ones) and they are not very comfortable.
