Velammal Matriculation Higher Secondary School

This is Velammal Matriculation Higher Secondary School. We are located at the Velammal Knowledge Park on Ponneri Road. It is a large campus, and there is always a lot of noise from the students during the breaks. You can hear the bells ringing throughout the day. The campus on Ponneri Road is quite green with some trees and open spaces where the kids play. We spend our days in the classrooms or the staff rooms. The hallways are long and always have some posters or student work pinned up on the boards. It gets very busy in the mornings when the buses arrive and everyone is rushing to get to their first class. I’ve worked here for a while and you get used to the constant energy of the place. The office where we handle the paperwork is usually filled with files and registers. Sometimes the chalk dust gets everywhere, and the desks have scratches from years of use. It’s a real school, not like those fancy ones you see in advertisements. There are patches of grass that need watering and the paint on the gate is peeling a little bit at the bottom. But it’s where we are every day, teaching and managing the schedule. Ponneri Road can be a bit of a commute for some of us, but once you are inside the gate, it feels like its own little world. We usually stay late to finish up.
