It is a mad 35-40 minutes outside Cathedral and John Connon School near the Bombay Gymkhana just after it gets over for the day. Narrow lanes, double-parking of cars, Metro work on both ends of the road and movement of school buses create a chaotic situation outside the premises, which often becomes a matter of concern for the school authorities.
What adds to the chaos is the presence of two more schools – J B Petit School and Alexandra School – and Siddharth College in the same area. However, amidst all the rush, the 158-year-old school has been trying its best to ensure students' safety.
