Goodley Public School

You can find us in B/D Block of Shalimar Bagh. It’s a busy part of the city, so there is always some noise from the street. The school building is a solid brick structure that has seen a lot of use. We have several floors of classrooms, and the stairs are always full of life during the breaks. The morning starts early for us. We see the buses arrive and the gates open up to let everyone in. It’s a routine we’ve had for years. The walls in the hallways have some scuffs and marks from kids carrying their bags. Our classrooms are basic, with the usual benches and a desk for the teacher. We don't have a massive campus with luxury facilities. It’s just a place for learning the subjects and getting things done. The staff room is always a bit cluttered with papers and tea cups. We talk about the lessons and how to manage the different classes. Many of the families in Shalimar Bagh have been sending their children to us for a long time. You see the younger siblings coming in once the older ones move on. We just focus on the daily schedule and making sure the kids are where they are supposed to be. It’s a practical, straightforward school. We don't make a big show of things. We just do the work every day. Goodley Public School is just part of the local neighborhood.
