Due to the effects of the coronavirus and subsequent lockdowns, our school in the foothills of the Himalayas is yet to reopen. However, we have continued to be in regular contact with teachers and get feedback from students on how they continue to be supported in their learning during this challenging time.
All students above lower kindergarten age are getting support to study online with their teachers via WhatsApp. Incredibly, teachers have managed to conduct mock exams for students through this online medium and their learning has continued.
Cases of the coronavirus has reduced in the Kalimpong area but there is no sign of schools being able to reopen at present.
Students write movingly about the support they've received from their teachers and also the sadness they feel at missing their friends and not having that in-person contact with their peers and mentors.
At a school where the motto is: Cherish the Doctrine, Live united, Radiate Love, the staff and pupils continue to keep the message alive despite these remote and uncertain conditions.
Your support ensures teachers continue to be supported, the school is maintained and children keep on track with their education.
Thank you.
