Govt Model High School

Govt Model High School sits right in the middle of the Industrial Area in Sector 28, Chandigarh 160002. It is a government school, so things are pretty straightforward around here. We don't have a lot of extra money for decorations, but the building is solid and the rooms are large enough for the students. Being in an industrial zone means there is always some noise from the nearby factories and trucks passing by on the main road. The kids who come here are mostly from the surrounding blocks. Our day starts early with the morning assembly out in the concrete yard. The teachers spend most of their time at the front of the room with chalk and blackboards. We have a small staff room where we drink tea and talk about the upcoming exams or how to fix a leaky tap in the bathroom. It’s the kind of place where you just get on with the job. The desks are made of wood and have been around a long time. We try to keep the place tidy, but with hundreds of kids running through the halls, it's a constant effort for the cleaning staff. It’s a real Chandigarh school for families living in this part of the city. There are no fancy slogans or posters here. Just students, books, and the daily bell telling everyone when it is time to go home. The playground is mostly dust and hard ground, but that doesn't stop the games.
