On September 21st, to mark International Peace Day, the scouts organized a Peace Hike and cleaning campaign with 105 students. The event began with the hoisting of the National and Scouts Flags, followed by the Zhabten and national anthems, emphasizing peace and patriotism. Students then embarked on a peaceful hike to a nearby Chorten (Alipakha), engaging in activities like reading trail signs and a treasure hunt. At the Chorten, they conducted a cleaning campaign, promoting environmental stewardship. The event concluded with a shared lunch, fostering teamwork and collaboration.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both students on their remarkable achievement.

Today, Samtse Higher Secondary School hosted the Boys Talk, facilitated by our dedicated Health and Wellbeing Team. This important session focused on fostering open conversations around sexual health, responsibility, harmful impact of alcohol, smoking, inhalant, marijuana, and some preventive measures. Through this initiative, we aim to empower our boys to build healthy relationships, understand their sexual responsibilities, and make informed decisions. By creating a safe space for dialogue, we encourage them to be responsible and confident as they navigate these crucial aspects of life. Let’s continue supporting our students in developing healthy and responsible attitudes.
