St. Vincent Upper Primary School

St. Vincent Upper Primary School has been part of the Chakkalakkal area in Palarivattom for quite some time. If you know Ernakulam, you know how busy the roads can get, especially around here. Our place is tucked away on St Vincent Convent Road, which usually feels a bit quieter than the main stretches. Every morning the bell rings and the whole place just fills up with energy. It’s a lot of work looking after everything, and sometimes the building shows its age, but we keep it going. The kids are always running around the yard, and you can hear them from a block away during their breaks. We don't have all those modern gadgets you see in the big city schools, but we make do with what we have. Most of us have been working here so long that we know every corner of the hallways. Rain in Kerala can be a real hassle for the playground, turning everything into a bit of a muddy mess, but that’s just life. We just try to get through the lessons and make sure everyone is safe. It’s not a corporate office, so things aren't always perfect or polished. We deal with broken chairs or leaky taps as they happen. It’s a local school for local families, and that’s pretty much the long and short of it. We are just here every day, doing the usual school things. We keep the gates open and wait for the morning rush.
