West Point Primary School

West Point Primary School is located in Mahananda Para, which is a well-known neighborhood in Siliguri. We focus on the younger kids, the ones just starting out with their books. Being in this part of West Bengal means we deal with a lot of rain during the monsoon months. The school building has to stand up to that. It is a modest place, nothing too flashy or modern. We have a handful of classrooms and a small area where the children play. You can hear the sounds of the Mahananda river not too far away on quiet days. Our staff consists of local people who live nearby. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It's just us and the kids. The morning routine is always the same, checking bags and making sure everyone has their pencils. We use simple blackboards and old-fashioned teaching methods. Parents in Mahananda Para often walk their children to the gate and wait until they see them go inside. We have a small bell that we ring for the end of periods. It's a bit old, but it works fine. Life at the school is steady and predictable. We don't try to be anything we aren't. It's just a primary school for the families living around 734004. We keep the place tidy and focus on the daily lessons. It’s a quiet life here, mostly.
