Skv Matriculation School

Skv Matriculation School is located out in Kolundampet, which is part of the Thandarampet area in Tiruvannamalai. It’s a bit of a drive to get here if you are coming from the main town, but it’s a quiet place to be. The address is officially Kolundampattu, and the pincode is 606706. Most of the children who come here are from the surrounding villages and farming families. We don’t have the big city buildings or the fancy equipment you might see in places like Chennai. Instead, we have a lot of open space and fresh air, which is nice for the kids. The morning assembly is usually the loudest part of the day, with everyone lined up in the yard. Our classrooms are basic, with wooden benches and blackboards that have seen a lot of use over the years. We spend our days following the matriculation syllabus, but there is a lot of life outside the textbooks too. The staff often share their lunches in the small break room, and we talk about the local news in Tiruvannamalai. It can get very hot here in the summer, but we have some trees that give a bit of shade. We are just a local school trying to do our part for the families in Kolundampet. It is a slow-paced life, but we like it that way and the kids seem happy enough. We don't really use much technology here, just the old-fashioned way of doing things with books and pencils and a lot of patience.
