Each classroom is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure including custom-designed electronic interactive boards, projection systems, computers, and uninterrupted power supply (UPS).

Evaluation & Assessment
Sacred Heart School follows the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) system for Classes I to IX. This assessment approach focuses on improving student performance by identifying learning difficulties at regular intervals from the beginning of the academic year, thereby strengthening overall learning outcomes.The CCE framework offers flexibility for planning academic schedules based on prescribed guidelines. It is designed to reduce academic pressure on students while promoting a balanced and meaningful learning experience within the school environment.
Under the CCE system, students are evaluated through both Formative Assessments (FA) and Summative Assessments (SA). Formative assessments are conducted throughout each term and include class participation, projects, discussions, life skills, arts, and sports activities, encouraging holistic development.Formative assessments contribute a total of 40 marks and are evaluated by teachers based on continuous student engagement and performance. Summative assessments are written examinations conducted at the end of each term, carrying a total of 60 marks.Both Formative and Summative assessments are conducted three times during the academic year. The cumulative scores are converted into grades using a 10-point grading scale. The CCE system closely resembles a semester-based evaluation model, ensuring consistency and clarity in academic assessment.
