Navy Children School

Being located on Airport Road in Dabolim means we hear the planes coming and going pretty much all day long. Navy Children School has been part of this Goa landscape for a while now. It’s 403711 if you’re looking for the pin code. The sun hits the playground pretty hard in the afternoons, so everyone tries to find some shade near the main walls. It’s a busy spot. We have kids from all over the place because of the nearby base and the airport workers. The hallways are usually filled with the sound of shuffling feet and teachers calling out for everyone to settle down. We don't have a lot of fancy decorations, just the usual charts and drawings the kids put up on the notice boards. Sometimes the humidity is a bit much, but we just open the windows and keep going anyway. The staff room is always a bit cluttered with notebooks and half-finished cups of tea. It’s just how it is here. We try to keep the routine steady so the students know what to expect every day. There’s always someone losing a pencil or forgetting their lunch box in the courtyard. We spend a lot of time sorting out these small things. It’s not glamorous, but it’s our daily life. The school isn't trying to be anything it's not. It’s just a place where kids spend their day while their parents are busy at work.
