SINGING ASSEMBLY


On 28th April, 2018 under the supervision of English teachers, the first singing assembly (class IV to VI) of the year 2018 was held in the school Loter hall during the morning assembly. Actually department has   decided to conduct morning singing assembly after every two months. The main aim is to let the students learn English in a fun way. This year the song we chose was titled ‘It’s a beautiful day.’ We sang the song with music and without music. We also sang the two song which we had last year, Mr. Manner Matters and Kindness. The English teachers took the lead by standing in front of the students.
The students enjoyed the different kind of assembly as we can see them becoming very excited and energetic. Our colleagues were of the new ways we have adopted to teach our kids. Whole school was heard humming the morning school. The scene was worth inspiring the teachers to do better.

HIMALAYAN MEDICAL TEAM


“He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything”
As everyone believes that health is the first priority to happy life, so our school takes care of each student’s health be it in giving them the best diet, providing them with fresh water, advising them to stay in clean environment or providing them with comfortable place to sleep. Subsequently, we have been lucky enough to get support from different communities and organizations. From this, we have the honor of welcoming one of those organizations that is Himalayan Medical Team lead by Mr. Ravi Singh. They have been relentlessly helping us for the past few years in examining the health of every child. This year they came on 23rd April and stayed for two days. These two days they thoroughly went through every child’s health condition where some were treated, few were asked to consult to hospital and the rest had casual checkup.
We are thankful to their continuous support and help and we are hopeful that they will carry on with this deed for the more coming years. Thank you!!!

SHOTON FESTIVAL

Shoton TCV Chauntra


Shoton festival is a celebration that mark the end of monk’s ‘Yarne,’ their hundred day summer retreat so as to avoid killings and earning demerits during that hundred days. After finishing these days, the local Tibetan laymen use to serve them yogurt, perform Tibetan opera and go for picnics etc. Therefore this festival is also called YOGURT festival.
In exile, Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts took the initiative in reviving this ancient festival. They would invite Tibetan artist from the different settlement to show Opera at Dharamsala.
His holiness the Dalai Lama suggested them to hold this festival in various settlements so that it can have a wider reach, especially among the youngsters.
Therefore, this year under the direction of TIPA, three places were selected to celebrate the festival: One at TIPA, second at Norbuling and third at our school TCV Chauntra. Our school had the privilege of hosting the Shoton Festival on 21th April till 23rd April. The festival saw opera performances by some of the best troupes from three Tibetan settlements located in India namely Bandara, Bylakuppee and Kollegal.
