Sri Ganesar Higher Secondary School Panickanadarkudieruppu

Down on South Street in Nalumavadi, you will find Sri Ganesar Higher Secondary School Panickanadarkudieruppu. It is tucked away in this specific corner of the village and has been a central part of the community for a very long time. We have students who walk here from the houses nearby, and some who travel from the surrounding villages. The building at 8/5 I is where we all gather every day. It is definitely not a quiet environment, especially when the bells ring to mark the end of a class. We have a lot of history in these walls, which you can see in the old wooden desks and the way the building is constructed. We do not have many of the modern high-tech tools that the big city schools have, but we make do with what we have got and keep the focus on the books. The teachers here have mostly been around for a long time, so we know just about everyone in the area. During the local festivals, the whole street gets busy, and the school usually plays some small part in the celebrations. It is a lot of walking back and forth between the different wings of the school. We have a playground that gets quite dusty when the wind blows, but the children enjoy it anyway. We just keep our heads down and focus on the daily teaching and the exams. It is a humble place and we like the routine of the village.
