School Ethos, Discipline and Customs
PHS is designed to appeal to parents wishing their sons and daughters to benefit from a tightly-structured and very strict school setting in the service of God. The rules for discipline and the code of conduct lay down rigorous behavioural standards, noting that truancy, vandalism, smoking and other serious offences are severely punished.
In 2002, the Student Council was formed, replacing the Prefectorial Board. The Council is a bridge between the student body and the school administrative staff.
