The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation." }, { "q": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off." }, { "q": "Where exactly is Sacred Heart SR SEC School located?", "a": "The school is in Chandigarh, Chandigarh. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Sacred Heart SR SEC School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." } ] }
