STAFF DAY

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.
