Brighland School

You can find us over at 1 Dick Road in the Dalanwala area. It’s one of those parts of town with old trees and big houses, so it’s a nice place for a school. The building has been here for a while and shows its age in some spots, but we keep it functional. We have a mix of old wooden desks and some newer ones we’ve added over the years. The garden is probably the best part of the property, though it takes a lot of weeding in the summer. We have a steady group of teachers who have been here for a long time. The kids come in from all over the city, and the road gets pretty blocked up with rickshaws around 2 PM. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, just the standard blackboards and some computers that we try to keep running. It’s a quiet life for the most part. We follow the yearly calendar and try to make sure the kids are ready for their exams. There’s always someone around to fix a leaky pipe or paint a wall when it gets too scruffy. It’s just a regular school where people work hard and the students mostly listen. We don’t put on many shows or anything like that, we just focus on the daily lessons. It’s a comfortable, worn-in kind of place for everyone who walks through the gate.
