Stepping Stones Senior Secondary School

We are located in Sector 37D, which is a fairly settled part of Chandigarh. If you know the area, you know it’s mostly residential and quiet until the school day starts. Stepping Stones has been part of this neighborhood for quite a long time. The building is a bit older, with wide hallways and heavy doors. We have some big trees around the edge of the property that provide a bit of shade when it gets really hot. Every morning, the street outside gets crowded with buses and cars. It’s a bit of a scramble to get everyone inside and the gates closed. Inside, it’s the usual school scene. We have rows of desks, blackboards that always need a better cleaning, and the sound of kids laughing in the corridors. We don't go for anything too flashy. The walls are a bit worn in places, and the playground grass is never quite as green as we’d like. But it’s a functional space where we do our work. The teachers here have been around for years, and we all know each other's routines. We sit in the staff room during breaks, drinking tea and catching up on things. It’s not a fancy life, but it’s ours. We just try to keep the kids busy and make sure they’re following the rules. It’s just a normal school in a normal sector. We do our best to keep things moving.
