St.Joseph'S Public School Thottuva

Located on Cheranalloor Road in Thottuva, Koovappady, our school is a familiar sight for people living in this part of Ernakulam. We have a fairly large building with a courtyard right in the middle. It’s a public school, which means we take in kids from all over the surrounding area. The morning rush is always a bit much with all the yellow buses and parents dropping kids off on their bikes. We have a staff room that’s usually a mess of textbooks and tea cups by the afternoon. Our teachers are hardworking people from the neighborhood. We don't have a massive budget to work with, so we just fix things as we go along. The playground has a bit of grass but mostly it’s just hard red ground. We do our sports day there every year and the kids get very excited about the races. We follow the state syllabus for all the classes. Our classrooms have ceiling fans that make a bit of a clicking noise but they keep the air moving. We have a small library with a lot of old storybooks that have been donated. The children like the picture books the most during their reading time. During the festival seasons, we decorate the place with some simple paper crafts made in class. It’s not a fancy private academy with air conditioning. It’s just a regular school where we try to teach the kids their lessons and keep them busy.
