Sacred Heart School

We are located on Mandi Road in Nichlaul, which is part of the Maharajganj district. The address is 273304. Being near the Mandi means there’s always something happening nearby, especially during the harvest season when the farmers bring their produce in. The sound of tractors is quite common here. The school building is a two-story structure with a courtyard in the middle. We use the courtyard for everything from morning prayers to physical education. The classrooms are basic, with old-fashioned blackboards and benches that have been repaired many times. We have a small library, but it’s mostly just a few shelves of textbooks and some old storybooks. The teachers are mostly local people who have lived in Nichlaul their whole lives. There is a sense of familiarity here; everyone knows everyone else’s family. We don’t have a website or any digital systems; everything is done on paper in our ledger books. On hot days, the children like to sit under the big neem tree we have in the corner of the yard. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except for the noise from the market road. We focus on the daily lessons and making sure the kids show up on time. It is a humble place, just a regular school for the children in this corner of Maharajganj.
