OUR SCHOOLS

Higher Secondary Schools:

1. Sahayarani (G) Higher Secondary School, Susaiapparpattanam

This school is located at Susaiapparpattanam, about 2 kilometers away from Kalaiyarkoil. A very large percentage of population consists of Christians. Agriculture is their main solace, relief and comfort. Till 1920 there were no schools in and around the town. Later in 1926 a primary school was opened. As there were no high schools, the young girls of the village had to go to the towns such as Madurai, Tirunelveli and Dindigul in order to get good education. Some poverty stricken girls had to study up to VIII and after that they had to discontinue their studies. No one backed them up. To monitor women’s education some parish priests inspired the Amalavai sisters to open a High School in the interest of the girls. The local people made a contribution in the form of two acres of lands; along with it we purchased 2.12 acre land. In 1969 a High School was opened by the Amalavai sisters and in the year 1979 it was made into a Higher Sec. School. The students stood first in the public exams, leading to the SSLC and Higher Secondary Examinations. The benefactor of German Polo family gave us a charitable gift with which a hostel was constructed mainly for the poor and needy.

2. Lourdu  Annai (G) Higher Secondary School, K. Pudur-Madurai

Pudur is located on the way to Alagarkoil on the Northern side of Madurai. Hundred years before K. Pudur was a small town with an average population. Some lived in huts. The circumstances led Amalavai sisters to open the first two classes for the welfare of the poor children. The school was opened in 1933. As the sisters used to go to school on foot, Rev. Fr. Gabriel Comas SJ helped them to build a home. A new house was built for the sisters in 1937. Classes were conducted in Tamil from standard VI to VIII.

Lourdu Annai School was opened in 1976. In course of time it became Middle School and in 1995, it was upgraded into a Higher Secondary School. The medium of instruction is Tamil.
