Secondary students can purchase tokens from our Student Leaders starting from Friday through to Wednesday morning. 

Community Conference

We are excited to finally meet our Community Partners in person again this coming Saturday during our 8th annual Community Conference. TBS staff will deliver 12 different workshops in both Nepali and English. Together with our Community Partners we will identify assets and areas for development, to be able to all learn from each other.

This week we have been lucky enough to host our Key Stage Celebration assemblies. For the first time in two years, we were able to invite our parents, carers and family members to our assemblies, to join us in celebrating the amazing achievements of our students, both individual and collective. 

These assemblies allowed us to recognise the progress and achievement of our students this year. In light of this, we celebrated three key areas. Firstly, ‘excellence’ certificates were awarded to students who have shown outstanding progress and achievement in a subject. These students have not only demonstrated a high understanding of the content, they have been able to display a range of transferable learning skills and apply their knowledge to a range of real life contexts. Our ‘approach to learning’ certificates were awarded to students who have gone above and beyond to demonstrate a true passion for learning in a subject. Their engagement and enthusiasm have been consistently high, allowing them to challenge themselves and push the boundaries of their perceived limitations. Finally, our ‘5C awards’ (Challenge, Confidence, Compassion, Community and Creativity) were awarded to students who have consistently demonstrated the values of our school, and as such, have been outstanding role models to others. Congratulations to all students who received an award.

It is important to remember that although not every student was awarded a certificate, each child at our school has had their own unique journey and this is to be celebrated. All of our students have overcome personal challenges and surpassed obstacles to achieve their goals, and for that we are extremely proud of them. Well done to all of the Secondary students.

The Key Stage assemblies were also an opportunity to showcase the creativity of our students. We were fortunate to witness a range of entertaining performances including singing, dancing and dramatic theatre. Thank you to our performers: Abayaa, Krrish, Sarbodaya, Lhakyi, Isaac, Anshu, Suhani, Adeel, Nirbhaya, Yang, Dhika, Nitesh, Ye Seong, Aryan, Kayan, Anwen, Immune, Yunik, Saivi, Zana, Dia, Dinithi, Dilasha, Srijonee, Rheha, Paridi, Samaira, Sizuka, Arka, Saanvi, Shirsiti, Manshi, Neeharika, Maya, Amata, Benji, Raghavi, Okitha and Evie. We would also like to say thank you to our staff dance group, as well as Mr. Piaf for performing in these events.

We will continue to recognise and celebrate the diverse achievements of our students. We are very excited to be increasing these opportunities next year so please keep an eye out for information regarding future events. We look forward to welcoming more parents on campus next year, to celebrate our students.

On Monday, the year 8’s welcomed Jagan Timilsina to TBS and had the opportunity to ask him about his thoughts on how to keep our beautiful Himalayan Mountains clean. In term 2, the year 8’s wrote to Jagan as part of their assessment work on finding sustainable and cost efficient ways to clean up the rubbish left behind by climbers. Our students had the opportunity to put their ideas to Jagan and were keen to find out his ideas on how to manage and reduce the pollution in the mountains as well as his thoughts on the impact of climate change on Mount Everest and where EBC could potentially be moved too. Student’s also took the opportunity to ask Jagan about his experience summiting Everest and winning the Great Himal Race. We are grateful to Jagan for coming to visit and are looking forward to welcoming him to TBS again next academic year.
