GHSS Kokkallur scores triple hat trick in Malayalam drama
Since 2015, the school has maintained an impressive streak, with eight plays earning A-grades at the State level; Ettam to represent the district this year
The Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS), Kokkallur, is now regarded as one of the best training grounds for theatre in Kozhikode. With nine consecutive first prizes in Malayalam drama at the District School Arts Festival, along with multiple best play and best actor awards at the State level, the school has made a strong name for itself in the State’s theatre circuit.

The play Ettam by the school has been selected to represent the district in this year’s State School Arts Festival, with its lead actor, Yadu Krishna Ram, winning the award for best actor. The school has been on an impressive streak since 2015, when its play Kunjuchettante Kunju, directed by Manoj Narayanan, qualified for the State-level and earned an A-grade. Since then, seven other plays— Puli Paranja Katha, Thaen, Otta, Kakkukali, Singapore, Kalasamithi, and Kumaru —have also received A-grades at the State-level. Adwaith P.S and Yadu Krishna Ram have each won the best actor award, further elevating the school’s reputation.
