A homecoming for the ages: gratitude for our valued alumni

On 17th October 2025, Gaupel Lower Secondary School was honored to host a truly special homecoming that spanned over seven decades of our school's rich history. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to a wonderful group of alumni who returned to walk the familiar halls of their youth, accompanied by a truly remarkable guest, Mr. Stuart Filby, their beloved former teacher, who taught them as students in the 1950s.
It was an emotional and inspiring visit for everyone involved. To witness the reunion of former students and their teacher after so many years was a powerful testament to the lasting bonds forged within our school's classrooms. Stories and laughter echoed in the room as they recounted shared memories which is a vivid reminder that a school is not just a building, but a community of enduring relationships. The legacy of teaching and learning that began so long ago was palpable, connecting our past directly to our present.
A Gift That Empowers Our Future
Beyond the joy of their visit, our returning alumni demonstrated extraordinary generosity by presenting a substantial cash donation to the school. This gift, born out of deep appreciation for their education, will be instrumental in upgrading school’s facilities.
We are profoundly grateful for this remarkable act of philanthropy. This donation is not just a sum of money; it is a vote of confidence in our mission and a direct investment in the success of our current students. It ensures that the opportunities afforded to these alumni seven decades ago are not only sustained but enhanced for the next generation of Gaupel graduates.
A Community United by Time
To our returning alumni and their esteemed former teacher: Thank you. Your visit has injected an incredible spirit of pride and connection into our community. It underscores the vital role our graduates play as custodians of the school's history and as catalysts for its future growth.
Your commitment to Gaupel LSS is an inspiration to our present students as it shows them the lasting impact they can have on the institution that shapes their lives. We are immensely proud to call you members of Gaupel family. Your success as distinguished dignitaries is our success, and your generosity lights the path forward.
We look forward to welcoming you and all our alumni to our campus!

Proud moment as our only Kuenden is through to the final. Best wishes.

Another proud moment for Bhutan!
Our very own Pelden Drukpa son, Kuenden Rigsel Dorji, has proven his talent and determination once again by defeating Y. Rajkhowa of Hong Kong in an intense semifinal match.

Kuenden displayed exceptional composure and focus throughout the match, maintaining steady pressure against a strong opponent. His controlled style of play and ability to stay calm during crucial points.

He started strong, taking the first set 6–4 with solid groundstrokes and smart shot selection. However, in the second set, a slight dip in concentration allowed Rajkhowa to bounce back and claim it 3–6.
In the deciding set, Kuenden showed true fighting spirit — regaining his rhythm, playing with precision, and using his consistency to force Rajkhowa into errors. With strategic play and determination, he closed out the final set in style to secure his place in the finals with the score 6/3.

This victory is not just his personal achievement but also a proud moment for Bhutanese tennis.

We wish Kuenden Rigsel Dorji all the very best in the finals and believe he will continue to make Bhutan proud once again! 🇧🇹🎾💪
