Upama Convent School

If you walk down Burdwan Road in Siliguri, you will find us right there on the ground floor. It is a convenient spot because it is easy to get to, but it can be quite noisy with all the rickshaws and trucks passing by outside. We have been in this space for a while. The rooms are not very big, so we have to be careful about how we arrange the furniture to make sure everyone has a place to sit. It is a bit of a squeeze when the parents come in for meetings. We have these posters on the walls that the kids made, some of them are starting to peel at the corners. We do not really mind. The floor is made of that old tile that stays cool even when it is boiling outside. We spend our mornings checking registers and making sure the students have their books ready. It is a lot of routine. Sometimes we have a little tea break in the small area we use as an office. You can hear the city humming right through the walls. It is just part of being on Burdwan Road. We do not have a big playground, so the kids mostly stay inside or just around the entrance during their breaks. It is a practical setup for a school in this part of town. We just focus on the day-to-day tasks and keeping things running as smoothly as we can manage.
