A concept in Nasr is the democratic way of electing the student leaders known as the Office Bearers headed by the School Captain. After a rigorous process of nominations on the basis of Academics and Overall Participation, Elections are held in which the students vote and elect their representatives. The Office Bearers are responsible of leading the school and helping the management in organizing various events. There is a School Captain, Vice Captain, Sports Captain and the various House Captains and prefects. Each Club has its own set of Office Bearers. Both the Girls' and Boys' School Office Bearers meet regularly to discuss and formulate plans for maintaining discipline among the students, and to organise various educational and extra-curricular activities.

Regular excursions are also embarked upon. They may be in the form of House excursions or Class excursions. There is usually an educative element to these trips. The students are also taken to tourist locations in different cities and towns.

Intra- and inter-school contests are held in order to encourage students to participate in extra-curricular activities and showcase their various talents. These may be in the varied fields of literature, public speaking, sports, music, art, etc. Many sports activities are available such as: Volleyball, Basketball, Marching, Karate, and etc. The director of physical education is Bandela Prakash Rao known around the school as Bishop Sir.
