St Vincent Pallotti Matriculation Higher Secondary School

If you head out towards Surathkal, you will find us in the Srinivas Nagar area. We are located near the post office there. It’s a part of Mangalore that feels like its own little town. Being a matriculation and higher secondary school, we have a wide range of students from different age groups. Some are just starting out in the lower grades while others are basically adults getting ready to leave. The campus is a decent size for this area. We spend a lot of time just keeping the place running. There is always a desk that needs fixing or a light that needs changing. We don't have any corporate offices or anything; the principal and the teachers handle everything right here on the ground. The morning assembly is usually the loudest part of the day. We are surrounded by houses and small shops, so we are very much a part of the local community. Parents often stop by to talk about their kids' progress or just to say hello. It’s a very normal, everyday kind of place. We don't use big words to describe what we do. We just teach the subjects and make sure the kids are safe during the day. The Surathkal heat can be a lot, but we have enough trees around the yard to give some shade. It's a busy life here but it's what we know and do every week. We just keep moving forward with the daily lessons.
