The Explorers, dressed in purple, "Endeavour to Reach Beyond". The Pioneers, in amber, are "The light that always shows, the spark that always glows". The Voyagers, in sky blue, proclaim "Vigour, Valour, Victory".

Each year, the faculty members nominate a student body to govern individual clubs and associations. Students of Grades XII / XI are eligible for the posts of School Prefect / Vice Prefect, Sports Captain / Vice Captain and House Captains / Vice Captains respectively. The School follows a system wherein one student is handed charge of the student body. A few students of Grades IX to XII are elected to preside over clubs.

The overall student government body comprises close to 60 members and is reigned in at an official Investiture Ceremony.
