Good Shepherd Central School

Our school is tucked away in the Laxmi Tekdi area, right off Ganeshpur Road in the Camp part of Belgaum. It is a busy spot, especially when parents are dropping off their children in the morning. The building for Good Shepherd Central School has several floors and we have tried to make use of every bit of space we have for the kids. Most of our staff live nearby, so they walk or take a quick scooter ride to get here every day. Inside, you will find rows of wooden desks and walls covered with drawings the students made in their art classes. We have a playground that gets quite a bit of sun in the afternoons. The sound of the traffic from the main road is always there in the background, but the kids do not seem to mind much when they are playing outside. We handle things in a very straightforward way. If a desk breaks, we get it fixed. If the garden needs watering, someone is out there with a hose in the evening. It is a place where we focus on the basic stuff like reading and writing and making sure the kids are safe during the day. We do not use a lot of complicated management systems. It is just about the teachers sitting with the students and going through the lessons one by one. Life here follows the school calendar, and it is a very humble place for the local families.
