Grd Cpf Matriculation School

Our school is situated on Avinashi Road, right in the Chinniampalayam area of Coimbatore. It’s a busy road with lots of trucks and cars passing by all the time heading into the city. We are at 1/1220. The building is a simple structure that fits in with the neighborhood. We have a bit of a front yard where the students gather before the first bell rings. Coimbatore weather is usually a bit better than Chennai, but it still gets warm in the afternoons. We have fans in all the rooms to help keep the kids comfortable. The classrooms are filled with wooden benches that have been around for years. We keep them repaired as best as we can. Most of our students come from the nearby houses in Chinniampalayam. They walk or come on their cycles in groups. It’s a practical school. We don’t have any high-tech gadgets, just the usual blackboards and chalk. The teachers are mostly local women who have been with us for a long time now. We have a small space for physical education, mostly just basic exercises and some running. During the lunch break, the smell of sambar and rice fills the hallways as everyone opens their tiffins. It’s a nice, normal atmosphere. We don’t try to be anything we aren't. We just provide a place for the local kids to get their schooling done every day. It’s a lot of work, but we’ve been doing it for a while and we know the routine.
