Government Middle School

We've been here on Madukarai Road for quite a while now. It’s a typical government setup in Nettapakkam. If you walk past during the day, you’ll probably hear the kids shouting during their break or the sound of teachers reading out lessons. The building isn't fancy, just your usual classrooms with desks that have seen better days and walls that could use a fresh coat of paint every now and then. We mostly look after the local children from around Pondicherry. Most of the families here know us well since their kids walk or bike over every morning. It gets pretty dusty out front when the buses go by, but that’s just how it is on this stretch of road. We have a small play area where the students spend their time between classes. It’s nothing like the big private schools you see in the city. We deal with the usual stuff like keeping the water tanks full and making sure the mid-day meals are ready on time. Some days are loud and messy, especially when it rains and everyone crowds into the hallways. We just try to keep things moving along and make sure the students are actually in their seats. It’s a busy place with a lot of noise, but it's part of the community here. People stop by to ask about admissions or just to drop off something their kid forgot at home. We’re just a regular school trying to do the work.
