St. Francis High School Chabhal

Our school is right on State Highway 21. If you're coming through Chabhal, you can't really miss us. It’s a big enough building and we’ve been here in Amritsar for quite some time. The school day starts early, and the road gets pretty busy with buses and parents dropping off their kids. We have a lot of students from around the area. Inside, it’s mostly just rows of desks and chalkboards. We don’t have all those high-tech gadgets you see in cities, but we have enough to get the lessons done. The teachers here work hard. They live nearby too, so they know the kids’ families well. It’s a bit of a traditional setup. We follow the schedule and try to keep things moving. During recess, the grounds get noisy, but that’s the best part of the day. We have some trees for shade and a bit of space for the kids to run around. Sometimes the dust gets in from the highway, but we just sweep it out and keep going. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. Most of our news goes out through the kids or notes in their diaries. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it works for us. We just want the children to learn their basics and be decent people. That’s about all there is to it. There is plenty to do every single morning before the first bell even rings.
