The Pinewood International Sen Sec School

Our school is out on Batala Road. It’s a well-known route in Amritsar, so getting here isn't too hard. We have a decent-sized campus with a bit of space for the students. It’s a senior secondary school, so we have kids of all ages running around. Some are just starting out and others are almost adults. It makes for an interesting mix. We have a lot of classrooms and a small area for sports. It’s nothing like those expensive private schools you see on TV, but we have what we need. The building has some age to it, which we actually quite like. It feels solid. The teachers here are mostly locals. They don’t use a lot of complicated jargon. They just explain things simply so the kids get it. We have a library that’s a bit cramped but full of books that the students actually read. We don’t have a big office with secretaries. If you want to talk to us, you just come to the main desk. We spend our time checking notebooks and making sure the lessons are on track. There’s always something to fix, like a leaky tap or a broken chair, but we handle it. It’s just how things are when you run a school. We just try to keep a calm environment where the kids can focus on their books. Some days are harder than others, but we manage.
