Victory Vidhyalaya Matric Higher Secondary School

You’ll find Victory Vidhyalaya Matric Higher Secondary School at number 76 in Victory Nagar, Saravanampatty. It’s a well-known spot in this part of town and has been here for years. The building is several stories high and has a bit of a worn look to it, which shows it’s been used well by many students. We have a lot of kids enrolled, so the hallways are almost always busy and loud. The sound of voices travels easily from one floor to another during the breaks. We have a science lab with some old glass jars and equipment that we keep locked up when the teachers aren't using them. The playground is a gravelly area where the boys play cricket during the morning break. It’s a bit dusty, but nobody seems to care too much about that. The benches in the classrooms are the long wooden type where three or four students sit together in a row. We have a small office near the main entrance where the principal sits and deals with all the paperwork. Saravanampatty has changed a lot lately, with new shops and houses popping up everywhere, but the school stays pretty much the same. We have a bell that we ring manually to mark the end of each period. It’s a loud, clanging sound that everyone in the neighborhood knows well. We don't have a lot of frills or fancy stuff. It’s just about getting the students through their lessons and keeping things orderly.
