Nippon School Visit

About a month ago the students from Nippon University in Japan came to our school. They came here to do fun activities with us and learn about Nepal and its culture. They were really sweet, kind, fun loving, and really energetic.

There were so many students that we lost track of their names. They taught us some really cool dance moves, and some super fun games. They encouraged us to play and have fun. Overall, they were really nice and outgoing. Although, it was sad when they left, we had a great time with them. We think they also found it very enjoyable.

 Joint School One Act Play

On September 29, we had ‘One Act Play’ in St. Xavier’s, Godawari. Our school had 15 participants and 20 audience into the programme. We were nervous when we got to the stage. We did our best to show our dramas. Our drama was about discrimination and the moral was ‘Do not discriminate others’. We learned many new morals and was very inspiring. Finally, we got the certificate and we returned back to our respective school. We hope to participate in this kind of activities in the future as well.

8^th Dorje Lakpa Hub Convention on SQC

Finally, we arrived to show our effort and preparation which we had been waiting eagerly was the day 1^st October, 2023. We arrived in our school and had a delicious breakfast. After that, we stated doing allocated different responsibilities for the preparation of the program. Some were busy in stage decoration while some of our friends were helping in fixing banners. At around 10:30 am, our Chief Guest of the program arrived. There were significant number of delegates from QUEST Nepal, PABSON and participants from different schools. We were glad to see Prof. Dinesh Chapagain, the Father of SQC in our school. Our friends performed SQC songs, dances and presented moral case study.

In a single day, our friends participated in various competitive events like quiz, arts and collage, story forming along with various workshops like slam poetry, meditation and refreshing Zumba dance. The beautiful part of the program was that all the events were carried out in collaborative form which aligned with the motto of SQC i.e. “Collaborate with others and compete with yourself”. Case studies presentations prepared by different circles from different schools were also the main events of the programme.

Program ended with award distribution for the awardees from the different competitive events, and the most happy part was that all the schools participating in the hub convention received awards for their performances in competitive events. Overall, we had beautiful memories and reaped benefits of collaborative learning which reflects the 21^st century learning skills.

 Community Service Programme at Manav Sewa Ashram

The four students of Grade 9, Nirvana Maharjan, Samyam Pokharel and us, along with a grade 6 student; Shambhavi Sapkota visited “Manav Sewa Kalyan Sanstha Ghar” of Kavre on 17^th of Aswin, 2080 B.S. Our Joint school members also participated and contributed in this humanitarian community service program with their physical, financial and humble support. Once we reached there, we were greeted by the founder; Sumi Manav and her team with a welcoming speech which included the flourishment of the organization and moral values. Then, we entertained the elderly people by showcasing our cultural aspects through performances. After the performances, we enjoyed with them by playing some joyful games.

We were also honored to know about their individuality personally. By participating in such activities, we got to learn and they also get to share. Therefore, we would like to participate more in such activities in the future and thank the school for organizing such a heartwarming activity.

Joint School Table Tennis Tournament

On 12^th of September, we (Class 6 to 10) had our Joint School Table Tennis Tournament at Lainchaur, Kathmandu. We departed from school at early 8 o’clock in the morning, then reached our destination at 11 am. There were 6 different Joint school’s participants.

We had our lunch as soon as we reached National Table Tennis association. The game started at 11:30am after we had our morning assembly. The match had altogether 3 sets and 4 quarters. We were very nervous as well as excited. We all got certificate for participation.

We had a great time and got to experience the rawness and excitement of the matches. The matches were very arduous yet. We were all fueled up for the tournament. We made many friends and had great experiences.

Outdoor School Students’ Australia Visit to KUHS

After all the preparations we started a few months ago, we were so overwhelmed to welcome our lovely guests from Outdoor School, Australia on 19th of September and also enthusiastic to spend our next four days with them.

On the very first day, we began our journey towards Hotel Moonlight where our guests were staying after they arrived to Nepal. We were a group of 11 students from KUHS along with some of our teachers. We reached to the hotel to welcome our guests, had some talk about their journey to Nepal from Australia and moved towards ICIMOD knowledge park where we got opportunity to learn about farming, traditional technologies and different weather forecasting apparatus. After that, we headed towards Australian Embassy, Nepal where the Ambassador HE Felicity Volk welcomed our guests to Nepal. And the day was about to end and four of us who were hosting homestay for the guests welcome our respective groups to our home which was the most exciting part of the students exchange program.

Homestay was a new experience for each and every one of us as we got the chance of sharing our culture, lifestyle and food with those people who were completely stranger for us (just had few conversations on messenger). But thankfully, we were able to adjust everything and gave our best for their comfort and they also cooperated so easily even though it was tough for them to adjust with a completely new lifestyle.

Another day began excitingly. Our guests were warmly welcomed to our school. Everyone’s face was filled with excitement as we had plans for different outdoor activities and interactive sessions with them. Each and every as activities were making us closer and letting us know more about each other’s culture. We also visited the Statue of Lord Shiva, Sanga which was also a memorable part. Again, back to homestay which continued every day.

Next day our day was completely related to social service with the assistance of Rotary club of Panauti. We had a short visit to Banepa as well as some historical sites of Panauti where we got to enjoy delicious Newari food. On the same day, we went to visit the statue of Buddha at Dhulikhel which had already been closed unfortunately. But we enjoyed our time on the woods and stairs.

The last day was a bit sad because we didn’t want to say goodbye to our friends. We had a informative session about climate change at Kathmandu University and also about Nepalese culture and history. After that we headed towards our school for lunch followed by farewell program to our guests. And that was the time for goodbye with our heavy heart and eyes welled up.

Overall, we had an incredible time with them and got precious opportunity to learn about Australia and also to share about our lifestyle. We created memories for lifetime and also look forward to strengthen our friendship and turn it into a strong bond.

Our Experiences on Spelling Bee Competition

Spelling Bee Contest was held on 29^th June, 2023 in our school. I really felt blessed to be the part of Spelling Bee competition. I was happy to be in the list of 10 students out of 34 participants, and finally being selected for the final round. I found my teachers and my school supportive to let me participate in the competition. I got motivated throughout as my parents supported me as well. In the competition, the most important thing was to listen properly. Overall, the program went great!

Spelling Bee is a contest where students are prepared to spell the words. It was held on 27^th June, 2023 inside our classroom. The students were divided into 4 groups, in which the Green House secured first position, Blue House second position and Yellow House third position respectively. Since, the Red House failed to secure any position, I got a lot of knowledge, learning new vocabularies. All the students who participated in the contest were given certificates. It was indeed a worth remembering event in my life.

Fun to be in an Art Competition

On 10^th May, there was Art Competition entitled “My Family and My Lovely Pet”. I drew my family’s drawing and rabbit. I stood first and was really happy to get certificates. It was indeed a great fun. I wish this kind of competition again and again.

Prashna Bista, 3

On 10^th May, we had art competition in my school. I took part in the competition. The topic was ‘A Future village or City’. I always love art and is fond of drawing and painting. I chose to draw a future village. I drew tree houses, hospital etc. I was extremely delighted to secure the first position. It was really so much fun making it and receiving certificates.

 Singing is so much cool

First of all, I was so excited that singing competition was going to be held because I loved music. I wanted to be participating in music competition, but I was not sure if I would be selected or not because I knew that my singing was not that good. It was full of fun and equally challenging in the singing competition. I started practicing at home and at school when I had free time. I gave my hundred percent in practice. But, still I was not sure if I would be selected for the competition. However, I got selected on that day. The result encouraged me more. It taught me the lesson that practice makes the man perfect. Continuous practice finally led me to win the first position. I felt that my hard work had been finally paid off. I still remember how my family members kept on encouraging me. I believe that we should not be overconfident that we will win but we should try our best and keep practicing.

 Guru Purnima: Celebrating the teacher’s effort and dedication

Guru Purnima falls on 3^rd of July. In this day, we thank our teachers for the knowledge they disseminate to us, their dedication and humbleness and their nurturing. Teachers are the second parents while the school is our second home. We should cultivate our habit of respecting the teachers not this day only but each day.

Students give gifts such as pens, cards, etc for their teachers but the most important gift is the respect we have to demonstrate. We should always listen to our teachers and act what they say. We need to be humble, polite and focused towards out future.

In our school too Class 12 celebrated the Teachers Day in the Dance Hall and we celebrated informally reaching to teachers and thank them for what they have been doing. I am very much indebted to all the teaching, non-teaching staff and my family members for what they have been doing to nurture me and shape me into a good human being.

 United to stand, divided we fall

At first, I met with my team, and we went to an assembly hall where the Principal instructed us about what we were going to do on that day. Rukmani Ma’am also gave a demo of what we were going to do in the workshop. Our tool was the paint Spatula. I went back to the art lab where we were given a canvas pencil, eraser and a sharpener. Then, my team sketched out an idea as soon as we got the paints, brushes and painting knife.

We started drawing idea and knifing away on the canvas. There were volunteers helping us out if we needed things like paint etc. My team was working pretty well and had an enjoyable experience. I’m hoping that I will be able to experience it again. At the end, we were given certificates. My team found the workshop fantastic and also exceeded my expectations as well. United we stand, divided we fall.

Spelling Contest: My admiring event

Joint School Spelling Contest held on 20^th June was a big day for me. As soon as we reached the venue, we were overwhelmed by the organizer’s hospitality. As the programme started, the first and second round went very well with only one incorrect spelling so far. Since the third round was a mess, we were a bit disappointed. Despite the fact that we knew we had to do our best for the fourth round, and accordingly we did.We performed well in the fifth and sixth round that led us to win the contest. We learnt the lesson that we should do our best even if we don’t win. And, winning is not always about being first among all or getting prizes but it’s also about the hard work you have done to get there.

Lastly, we would like to thank our English teacher Sajana Ma’am and Rinchen Ma’am for giving us this golden opportunity. Overall, the management of this program was flawless and praiseworthy. We look forward to participate in such wonderful programmes in the days ahead.

Tea Hike: My unforgettable memory

Tea hike is a hike where we go to the forest and make tea and serve it to every member of patrol and scout masters. We, class 7, went to tea hike as a scout activity in Panauti forest after having early lunch. As we reached to the Panauti, we all gathered in one place of Panauti, where scout volunteers were there to volunteer us. And, there was also one special scout guest of Panauti to help us to know many places of Panauti and its history about them. When we were hiking through Panauti, we also went to the oldest temple of Panauti which is only used to open after every 12 years. Then, we went to Panauti forest. As soon as we reached the forest, each patrol chose their place to make tea. It was too difficult to burn fire and prepare tea in forest. When all the patrols finished preparing their tea and snacks, the winner patrol was announced and provided a badge. At last, all the scout members got B.P Peak badge in the tea hike. In this way, we found our tea hike experiences special and worth remembering.

 Scouting Event: Investiture Ceremony

We had ‘Investiture Ceremony’ on 28^th June, Wednesday. We had many scout guests who visited our school. We welcomed them and showed them paintings and structure of tower that we made. At first, we, students of grade 7, sang a Nepali song as a welcome song. We had few speeches prepared by some students. They shared about scout experiences. The students of class 6 also had been the part of Nepal scout on that day. They also got scarf of Nepal scout. Likewise, we also received the certificate as we were promoted to B.P Peak badge. We also had nice time hearing what our scout masters said. They shared their experiences in scout when they were like us. Overall, our program was successful. Everyone enjoyed it. We also felt that we were one step ahead of our life since we were motivated by what the teachers said. On the whole, we found art as an expression of ideas creatively.

Debate – The Battle of Opinion

It was on 29^th June 2023, we were preparing for the event entitled ‘Should we be vegetarian?’ We were altogether 8 pairs speaking for/against the motion. The hosts, teachers, organizers and the participants were all anticipating a great and successful event which was about to happen. Amid the programe, all of us were already starting to feel a lot of pressure two weeks before the event took place. We were told about the protocol and rules beforehand, and the big day arrived. After lunch, we were summoned to the auditorium, the competition began, we listened to the previous contestants and waiting eagerly our turn. Everything was going smooth and perfect until our turn arrived. We weren’t so nervous because the whole audience was familiar, and we shared our arguments. We were asked as well as answered questions. The event went by pretty smooth and felt excited till the end of the programme. We are still waiting for the results as we write this, and we truly wish that the deserving contestants will get their victory!! Indeed, the event was fantastic!

Writing is so much fun

Competitions feel like a dreadful scare of expectations. Everyone around us is consumed inside the world of a pen and piece of paper while trying to explore ideas within yourself. Essay writing competitions feel like a test of literature in form of an opportunity.

Essay writing contest was held on the 24 May, 2023. A competition where all individuals get to participate is a rare occasion; this opportunity was such that could be acquired by every and appreciated by many. It wasn’t confined to a certain group of people and gave a sense of freedom when it comes to creativity and independence. To be completely real, it was a mixture of nervousness and unmanaged time; I felt a sense of timid and was anxious of the outcomes. Amongst all the confusion, anxiousness and faith, I feel quite grateful to have taken part and tried my level best. I’m hoping to continue joining and acquiring such opportunities in the near future. Thank you for a desire that costs the future. Regardless of the result, we all are contended and would like to thank our school for giving us this opportunity to write about how the role of youths can play a pivotal role in ending corruption. In the nutshell, it really made our day to write and put our thoughts into it.

My Reflections: Joint School Quiz Contest at St. Mary’s School

On the 28th of June 2023, I had the pleasure of attending the JS Quiz Contest held at St. Mary’s School. This program aimed to uplift the knowledge of the students within academics as well as beyond academics, while also promoting healthy relationships among the joint schools. Along with my teammates, Samyam and Adwit, we were really excited and eager to participate and learn new things.

The quiz program was structured into 5 rounds: the general round, mixed bag round, buzzer round, audiovisual round, and rapid-fire round. In each round, we tried our best, sharing ideas, debating answers, and supporting each other throughout the program. Although we were unable to secure the top position, we had the opportunity to learn many new and intriguing facts, which helped sharpen our general knowledge.

Additionally, we had the chance to meet students from different joint schools and make new friends. The experience was enriching and left us feeling motivated to continue learning new things.

2^nd Professional Development Day

It was a warm Sunday morning on the 18^th June, 2023 all the teachers of our school were looking forward to attend the motivational speech of Mr. Rabin Katwal, the corporate motivational speaker. The session was 4 hours long, however it turned out to be one of the most stimulating and overwhelmingly influential speech beyond our expectation. Mr. Katwal spoke about ways to lead a happy and successful personal as well as excellent professional life. He also motivated us to develop our passion and work on it. The session was extremely encouraging to the teachers to happily embrace our teaching career in such a wonderful school like ours. I hope to get such sessions again in near future so that motivation goes on and on.

One Day Joint School Teachers’ Workshop

Learning is a never-ending process. One Day Joint School Teachers’ workshop was held in St. Xavier’s School, Jwalakhel on 11^th June 2023 with around 20 teachers from KUHS along with the teachers from partner schools. The session primarily focused on curriculum, specification grid and teaching learning practices. Such a workshop really benefitted us to enhance our skills and capacity development in the context where the teacher’s role as change-agent. The competent resource persons from different subjects were there to deliver trainings to empower them to deal with pedagogical, textual and curriculum issues.

In a nutshell, we found the workshop highly effective to have clarity in designing tests as well. We were really excited throughout and motivated being exposed to professional development sessions to keep updating for professional growth to gain experiences as well as examine teaching and learning systemically.
