Shri Rengaa Vidyalaya Matriculation Higher Secondary School

Our school is right on the Namakkal Main Road. It’s easy to find because of all the traffic that goes past every day. Being on a main road means it’s never really silent, but we’ve all gotten used to the sound of the trucks and buses that rumble by. The building itself is quite traditional with wide corridors and high ceilings that help with the air flow. We have a lot of students, so it can get pretty crowded during the morning assembly when everyone is lined up. We spend a lot of our day walking from one end of the campus to the other to get from class to class. Namakkal is known for its transport and poultry, and many of our students come from families involved in those local businesses. The teachers here have mostly been around for a long time, so we’re like a big, slightly disorganized family working together. We use a lot of chalk and talk until our voices get a bit scratchy by the end of the day. The desks are the old wooden kind that have been polished by years of sleeves rubbing against them. Sometimes we have to deal with the dust from the road, so we’re always dusting off the bookshelves and the windowsills. It’s a straightforward matriculation school. We don't have any big corporate backing, just the local community and the kids who show up every day. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do here on the main road.
