ABOUT US

Government Higher Secondary School – Shiriya is situated at the uphill of Shiriya village.  Our school enjoys a favorable geographic surroundings for calm and quiet learning. This institution was established during the pre independence period i.e.1925.Thus it is one of the oldest and most renowned educational institution which fulfilled the aspirations of common masses. Once, it was having strength of more than two thousand students. But now schools are opened at every nooks and corners. Establishment of private schools increased considerably. This resulted gradual decrease in the enrollment of students in this school.
Now our students’ strength is considerably very low. We have both Kannada and Malayalam parallel divisions from 1st standard to 10th standard and a single batch of higher secondary in commerce group.

Our school was following Muslim Calendar from the first day of it’s establishment and we changed the school calendar to General Calendar effective from 15/02/2013.  A noteworthy feature of our school is that almost all children belongs to socially and economically backward communities like Muslims, scheduled caste and fisherman communities .Hence the economic back ground of the students are miserable. Thus our children require most special need and care. As our School is situated at boarder, there are students from Karnataka also. Thus our school is a miniature of different caste, colour, language, region and religion.

Achievements of our students are quite remarkable. Withstanding all difficulties and problems we improved our SSLC result year after year, to the top level of 94% in the SSLC Examination 2012-13. Our children participated in almost all literary and other competitions conducted at various parts and showed their talents. In the social service sector also we are pioneers. Social service activities are an integral part of our institution. In our area road accidents are quite common and our students are actively participated in several rescue operations.

Our School Road Safety Club succeeded in creating a mass awareness among the public about Traffic rules. Mass communication programs were conducted in several topics for parents.

Study tours and camps are conducted in every year. Our school made several attempts to protect flock arts inviting local artist to present their programme.

Our Eco club was succeeded in cultivating environment protection activities at a base level. With the help of parents, teachers and other social institutions we succeeded to make remarkable progress through the years.

Our physical background at present:

There are 13 building blocks in school.  Out of these seven are concrete roofed and the rest are tile roofed.  In these blocks two are unfit.  Computer lab, lab and library, office room and staff room are arranged in class rooms.  Tile roofed blocks are very old and dilapidated.  Most of the classrooms are not plastered, well floored and not been separated by walls. Three blocks are not electrified. The roll strength in the present academic year from 9th standard to 12th standard is 236.  We have no reading room.  Both library and science laboratory is arranged in a single class room.  Science equipments are kept in the same room.  There are no enough places for conducting science activities and experiments.  We have only 200 sets of class room furniture which are not sufficient for our need.  Our play ground area is 2 acres but it is very hard due to spread up red stones.  As the ground is not leveled, children feel difficulties to play and performing athletic activities. 


Comparing the last many years, present academic year is colourful and advanced.  In the present academic year we formed a platform named A I M 2013-14 (Acceleration, Inspiration, Motivation) focusing the total improvement and development of the children and to bring all the curricular and co curricular activities under a single banner. The AIM 2013-14 is launched by the District Panchayath President and its first career guidance class was taken by Dr. Abdul Sathar, well known educational activist and Psychologist.  The hard working and dedicated staff members along with the co-operation of PTA try their level best to bring the school to its zenith and hopefully will reach in a very near future.  In the history of our school, this year was very much memorable for us that we conducted the venue for the Sub-District level Vidyarangam Kala Sahithylsavam in our school.
