Pernem: PACT Foundation marked a major milestone with the inauguration of its most ambitious Happy School Project to date at St. Joseph High School in Pernem. This is the first Happy School in the Pernem taluka, bringing together modern classroom technology and improved physical recreation spaces.
The project represents a holistic approach to school transformation. Beyond the installation of interactive smart boards, PACT Foundation also undertook the complete renovation of the school playground, providing students with a safe and vibrant space for sports and physical development.
A Community Landmark
The inauguration was attended by local community leaders, school faculty, and PACT Foundation representatives. The new playground, equipped with modern play structures and a leveled surface, is expected to become a key hub for student activity, while the smart classrooms set a new standard for digital learning in the district.
“A child’s world is shaped both by what happens inside the classroom and out on the field. In Pernem, we are giving them the tools to learn better and the space to grow stronger.”
— Dr. Ashwin Fernandes, Founder & President
Faculty at St. Joseph High School noted that the Happy School Project has fundamentally changed the school’s atmosphere. Students are now more excited to attend, and teachers have more tools at their disposal to make learning interactive and fun.
As PACT Foundation continues its mission across Goa, the success in Pernem serves as a blueprint for future comprehensive school upgrades under the Happy School Project.
