Message from Mingur Angmo, acting principal, to the students

"As we break for a long winter holiday, we want to express our gratitude to each one of you for your kind and warm support. Our school is off for a winter break which will start from 13th December, 2020. The motive of this year winter break is to spend a quality time with your family and to get away from mobile phones, by keeping all in our mind we tried to assign such homework which doesn’t need any help of mobile phones. So it’s our humble request to each student to kindly stay away from mobile phones at least during this winter break. Wishing you all a Happy Winter Holiday. May you all have a good time with your families."

The first alumni meet of Druk Padma Karpo School was held in October 2020. Owing to the pandemic restrictions only 70-80 students were able to attend. It was short programme which included the sharing of experiences by our ex-students, felicitation to all new committee members and a talk by His Eminence Thuksey Rinpoche. The event finished with a very welcome high-tea during which heartfelt thanks were extended to His Eminence and the core team for making the event possible.

On the 21st June The students celebrated the 6th International Yoga Day. This day is celebrated to raise awareness worldwide about the benefits and importance of Yoga in everyday life. The theme for this year is “Yoga for Health –Yoga at Home”. So, by keeping this theme in mind the students of DPKS practiced at home. The students do regular Yoga, as they know the benefits of Yoga, so now it has become a part of their daily lives. “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self and to the self”.

STAY FIT and STAY HEALTHY!!
