Pict Model School

Our school is located right behind the Holiday Inn in Balewadi, near the big stadium. If you’ve been to this part of Pune, you know it’s developing very fast. There’s always some construction noise in the distance or a new building going up. The school sits on S.No 6 and has a decent amount of space. I usually take the Baner road to get here and the traffic can be a real headache in the mornings. The building itself is modern enough, but it gets dusty because of all the work happening nearby. Inside, it’s the usual school vibe—kids running in the corridors and teachers carrying heavy bags of books. We have a playground that looks out towards the stadium area. The staff room is always a bit chaotic with people eating lunch and talking at the same time. We don’t have those polished corporate brochures; we just write things down on the notice board. The classrooms are filled with desks that have seen better days, and the whiteboards always have some leftovers of the previous lesson. It’s a practical place. We focus on getting the kids through their exams and making sure they don't get into too much trouble during the breaks. On rainy days, the ground gets a bit slippery, so we have to keep everyone inside. It’s just a regular job for us in a very busy, growing part of the city.
