St.. Thomas Residential School

Out here in Akkipete, Shiralakoppa, things move a bit slower than in the bigger cities. St.. Thomas Residential School is located right in this part of Shimoga, with the pin code 577428. Since it is a residential school, the kids are here all the time, so it feels more like a big house than just an office or a classroom building. We have the dorms and the dining area where everyone eats together. The grounds in Shiralakoppa are okay, enough space for everyone to breathe. Living and working at St.. Thomas Residential School means you get to know everyone really well. It is not always quiet, especially during the meal times or when classes let out. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles. It is a plain place with stone walls and wooden desks that have been used for years. The staff stays on the property or lives very close by in Akkipete. You can see the school from the main road if you are looking for it. We handle the laundry, the cooking, and the teaching all in one spot. It is a lot of work to keep a residential place running, but we just get on with it. Shimoga weather can be unpredictable, but we are used to it by now. The kids play outside when the sun isn't too strong. That is just how life is for us at St.. Thomas.
