International Day of Peace 2026
"Celebrating Peace, Unity and Responsible Citizenship"
On 21st September 2026, our school joined the global observance of the International Day of Peace, celebrated alongside National Earthquake Mock Drill Day. The occasion provided an opportunity for our students and staff to reflect on the importance of peace, unity, cooperation, kindness, and responsible citizenship in building a safe and harmonious school community.
The programme began with the National Anthem, followed by the Scout Anthem, setting a meaningful and respectful tone for the celebration. A presentation on the International Day of Peace was also conducted to help students understand why the day is observed, its significance, and the importance of promoting peace, respect, understanding, and harmony in our homes, schools, communities, and the wider world.
The programme then continued with several significant Scout activities and ceremonies. One of the highlights was the Scarf Awarding Ceremony for Chey Chey Scouts, recognising and welcoming young members into the Scout family. This was followed by the Oath-Taking Ceremony, where the Scouts pledged their commitment to the values and responsibilities of Scouting.
The Proficiency Badges were awarded to Nazhoen Scouts in recognition of their dedication, learning, skills, and achievements in different areas of Scouting. Adding colour and excitement to the celebration, Scout members presented a special group dance, showcasing their talent, teamwork, and enthusiasm.
The celebration also featured a Gadgets Exhibition by the Nazhoen Scouts, where students creatively demonstrated their practical skills, teamwork, and innovative ideas through various Scout gadgets. Students also participated in Games of Sense Organs, making the programme both educational and enjoyable.
The programme concluded with the awarding of prizes to the winners of the Best Gadget Competition, recognising their creativity, effort, teamwork, and practical skills.
As the day progressed, the celebration of peace extended beyond the school programme and into meaningful community action. Towards the evening, all staff and students came together for a mass cleaning campaign within the school premises and nearby community areas.
The cleaning campaign served as a practical expression of the values promoted through the International Day of Peace. Working together to maintain a clean and healthy environment encouraged teamwork, cooperation, respect for our surroundings, and a sense of responsibility towards our community.
And also we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the Toetsho Gewog Thrizin for generously sponsoring the refreshments for the staff and students during the mass cleaning campaign.
Your kind support and generosity contributed to making the community cleaning initiative more meaningful and enjoyable for everyone involved. The school remains deeply grateful for your continued support, encouragement, and commitment towards our school and community.
The day's activities reminded us that peace is not simply the absence of conflict; it is also about living together with respect, caring for one another, taking responsibility, and contributing positively to our community. Through awareness, Scouting activities, creativity, and community service, our students were given meaningful opportunities to practise these values.
