Mount Carmel Mission Matric Higher Secondary School

Located on Mount Road in Kallakurichi, this school is a busy spot for students in the area. We have been here for quite some time now and the building is a familiar sight to anyone living nearby. Every day follows a set schedule starting with the assembly where everyone stands in rows. The classrooms are filled with wooden benches and desks that have been used by many batches of students. We teach a variety of subjects as per the matriculation requirements and there is always a lot of writing involved. Teachers move from one room to another when the period ends and you can hear the shuffle of feet in the hallways. The school grounds have some space for physical education but it mostly gets used during the lunch hour. It’s a place where we focus on the books and making sure the students are prepared for their final exams. We don't use fancy technology much; it is mostly about the chalkboard and the textbooks. The office is usually busy with parents coming in to pay fees or ask about their children. In the afternoon the street outside gets crowded with cycles and buses as everyone heads home. It is just a normal school day in Kallakurichi where we do our best to keep things running smoothly without making any big claims. We just provide a place for the kids to come and study every day.
