Annual Health Check-up:
Annual medical check-ups (inclusive of Vision, Dental, Obesity and physical examination) are held at the school premises. The medical check-up is followed by a descriptive report for individual students so that follow-up by the parents is an easy task. This also ensures that parents and teachers have a better understanding of the health of the child. Health cards are maintained year after year to check the progress of every child. In house first-aid training/workshops are held regularly for teachers and students so that they are better equipped to attend to emergencies.
The annual health check up is conducted by a team of qualified doctors from Apollo Hospitals.A team of doctors from “”M.V Hospital for Diabetes (P) LTD.” conducts tests for our students regularly.
A blood donation camp is organised on the Annual Alumni Meet during the last week of June every year. This is organised and conducted by VHO, Tharamani. Alumni members and the current students participate actively in this event.

Duke of Edinburgh: IAYP
THE INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Award Programme was first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1956 as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The aim was to motivate young people aged between 14 and 25 years to become involved in a balanced programme of voluntary self-development activities to take them through the potentially difficult period between adolescence and adulthood. The Award’s concept is one of individual challenge, giving young people a balanced, non-competitive programme of voluntary activities which encourage personal discovery and growth, self-reliance, perseverance, responsibility to themselves and service to their community.
Chettinad Vidyashram adopted this programme for the High School students to further their leadership skills and instill in them a sense of self-reliance and confidence.
