Billabong High International School

You can find Billabong High International School right along National Highway 4. Being on the highway means we get a lot of trucks and cars passing by Kanchipuram all day long. The noise is something you just get used to after a while. Our building is easy to spot because it's a decent size. We have been operating here for a bit, and it’s a lot of management work. There are plenty of classrooms and hallways to keep clean. The 631502 postcode is where our mail comes, and where our staff commutes to every morning. It’s not like those fancy offices you see in the city; it’s a working school with real dust and real people. We have a routine that we follow, starting early and ending in the mid-afternoon. There are always papers to grade or things to fix around the property. Last week a window latch broke, and we had to get it sorted. That’s just how it is running a place this big. We don’t try to be anything we’re not. We just provide the space and the teachers for the kids in this part of Kanchipuram. Some days are long, especially when there’s an event or a meeting, but mostly it’s just the steady rhythm of the school year. The sun sets behind the main building and it looks okay from the road. We’re just a regular fixture on the highway.
