After close to 14 years at Daksha, a protected and trusted environment, Anjali finally joined a new school for her 11th and 12th - PORPS - or P. Obul Reddy Public School. She had decided on Humanities as her stream and had figured out that PORPS was a good school for Humanities. She figured out details about the entrance, admission etc.
While we were thinking of second option etc she was quite clear from the beginning. I will get it, why are you fretting was her stock answer. Add to this, advice from my friends who said 'It is a much sought after school - you need recommendation to get in. Better start the process.' That was when we had a discussion. No recommendation etc, we will go with what we have and take our chances. Second, we did not have a back up (though I called Silver Oaks where Ms Sudha Murthy is the Principal and she made it very difficult for me to even have a conversation with her - so that went out).
Good news is that Anjali cracked the entrance and got in the first list. We have heard wonderful things about the school. Paid up, uniforms bought etc.
And then the D day. The school began for a couple of weeks for the kids to accustom themselves I guess so she went on Day One in a new bus - they have a nice tracking system. The attendants are nice and friendly as well.
There was an orientation class for the parents where the Principal, Vice Principal and Heads of Departments spoke and assured everyone of how the kids would get an all round exposure at school. There is a ground, indoor and outdoor facilities, sports and extra curricular focus. With pressure off the professional streams she is in a good place these two years.
All in all, all set for a nice new innings. I am so happy for her. I am sure she will explore many new facets in these wonderful, growing up years.
