All across India, 5 September is celebrated as ‘Teacher’s Day’ but in our TCV schools, we celebrate it as ‘Staff Day’ because we believe that each and every staff member puts equal hard work and effort for the welfare of the children. The day is specially commemorated to honor the staff members for their sincerity and dedication in the upbringing of the children.

The day began withvarious programs beginning with the opening function, followed by games, delicious dishes and the evening song and dance performances for the entertainment. Everything was superbly and systematically done. The main responsibility was taken by the Student Council along with the support from class 9 and 10 students. The students worked really hard to make this day special and memorable for all the staff members. The ex-Chauntrains from TCV Upper, TCV Gopalpur, TCV Selakui and TCV Bylakuppe as usual sent their greetings to the staff.

The highlight of today’s program was for the Chief Guest, we had the TCV Tibetan Resource Teacher, Mr. Mingchung la and the Tibetan teachers from all the TCV schools. We are very much honored to have them with us on this very special occasion.

As saying goes ‘A good beginning always has good ending’. The day turned out to be a great success with full of enjoyment and entertainment. Thanks to the School Captains and the Prefects and to all the supporters. You made the day really special for every staff.

Special programme initiated by the school principal on the Tibetan Honorific words (29th June 2013)

This year is solely meant to inculcate the moral values in all the TCV School, as it is the focus point of this year. Keeping this in mind our school principal has initiated a programme to extent our first step to moral values through honorific words.

Partispants trying to answer the question

As well know Tibetan is a rich language. One of the unique features of which are honorific words that are commonly used during conversation.

In this 21st century, children are getting more and more exposed to other language while they are becoming less and less familiar with their own mother tongue. As a result of which they may forget everything. Thinking from this point working and learning honorific words is more urgently felt. The whole programme is shouldered by the two Tibetan teacher Miss. Dawa Tsamchoe la and Miss. Yangzom la. The unique thing about this programme is that, all the respective homes from 1 to 16 inclulding girls and boy’s hostel, all are participating in this programme. No one knows who will be call upon as a participant as an actual contestant. All the students were informing in advance to learn and give importance to the Tibetan honorific words.

This kind of programme will definitely be an eye opener for the budding brains of our children who are wisely termed as the ‘Future seeds of Tibet’ by his holiness. This particular programme had really squeezed a lot of time and sweat of the two concern teachers. By the end of the programme the winner was Home no 6 . When the programme got over we have the confidence to feel that whatever time and labor that the teacher had spent on this contest have not gone waste. I want to congratulate the principal and the two concern teacher for their sheer hard work.
