St Susai Primary School

Being located on 3rd Street in Arasadi, Cheranmahadevi, we are right in the middle of a busy little area. Our school is a primary school, so we deal with the younger kids who are just starting out. It can be quite a handful in the mornings when parents are dropping them off and there are bicycles and scooters everywhere on the street. The building is simple, just enough rooms for the different classes we have. We spend a lot of time making sure the little ones are staying focused, which isn't easy when it's hot outside and they just want to play. In Tirunelveli, the sun can be really strong, so we try to keep the classrooms as cool as we can with the ceiling fans going all day. The teachers here have been around for a while and they know most of the families in the neighborhood. It’s the kind of place where you know who the siblings are and where everyone lives. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It’s just us, some wooden benches, blackboards, and a lot of books. We keep things moving, making sure the kids learn their lessons and get home safely. Sometimes the rain makes the street a bit muddy, but we just deal with it. It’s a practical, local school that has been part of Cheranmahadevi for years without any big fuss or fancy changes. We just take it one day at a time with the kids.
