ARIYALUR: The campus of the Nirmala Girls Higher Secondary School in the small town of Ariyalur reverberated with shouts of joy on Friday with as many as 43 of its students securing centum in mathematics in the Plus Two examinations this year. Teachers of the school were kept busy counting the numbers of the centums, as one student after another was found to have hit the bull’s eye in Mathematics. The news came as the icing on the cake as the school has achieved a perfect centum in pass percentage in the examinations for the second consecutive year. All its 351 students had passed the examination this year. The performance of the students in mathematics seemed to have come as a bit of surprise for the school teachers. Out of the 137 students who had mathematics as a subject, 43 had scored centum. Another eight had secured centum in Business Mathematics, out of the 40 who had taken up the subject. Sr. Fathima, the school principal, attributed the good show to the hard work of the students and dedicated efforts of the mathematics teacher M. Nirmala. A majority of the school students hail from rural and economically backward families. Yet, the students had proved that there were second to none. A modest Mrs. Nirmala attributes it to the hard work put in by her students, the blessings of God, the support of the school management and the cooperation of parents. She and several other teachers of the school had spent extra hours daily to coach the students. Hard work“We worked very hard with dedication, so much so that I would be left drained on many days. With our coaching pattern, the students found the question paper easy,” she said. A fact acknowledged by K. Lakshmi, the school topper and one of the centum scorers in maths. “This is surely due to the efforts of our teachers,” she said. Even last year, nearly 70 of her students had secured over 190 in the subject. The school has built a reputation for high pass percentages in recent times, a couple of years before it missed the 100 per cent mark after just one student failed. “We are going to have a problem at our hands during the admission season now as the demand is sure to hit the rooftop,” an elated Sr. Fathima quipped.
