Bajothang Higher Secondary School- What is unique?

Our school is located in Punatsangchu River basin; did you know that it was previously a paddy field? Yes, that’s why the land is fertile and even we can see the traces now and everything grows well that we plant in our campus.

Did you know that our campus now was once a barren land (paddy field) without a single tree? Yes,  The mini artificial forest we have now along the river below the  school campus and around the campus  that allows us to breath fresh air all the time, was our hard work that converted desert into a green land ( thanks to former students and teachers who did the hard work, we are only maintaining now).

Yes, all of us know now how chilly is planted and where its bears the fruits in the roots or stems or leaves. Thanks to our beautiful agriculture field which allows us to explore all these. This is becoming a difficulty in urban towns. Don’t miss the chance to explore more.

Thanks to our mini fishery pond. Even if we cannot see few fishes we have deep inside the water, the study of tadpoles is not at all a problem that is plenty in the surface along with the toads. If you miss the opportunity to see tadpoles here in our pond, you might land up seeing them only in the television, so take your chances now or never.

In small campus of just over 15 acres, have you realized that we have more than 20 species of birds living with us? If not, go for birds watching now. It is wonderful to see that we have such a pristine environment with all birds of Wangduephodrang seems concentrated in our campus.  Let’s thank ourselves for getting these birds to our campus.

Did you know that there are hundreds of nest of different species of birds and they are breeding here? If no, go around the campus.  Even check the holes in the concrete retention wall at the back of MP Hall. You will find that it is home for the hop-pies family of birds. No place is spared.

Seen a Peepal tree in your life? If not go near our football ground, you will find a big one there and many more small ones all around the campus. This tree is special in our life as Lord Buddha mediated under Peepal tree for 51 days and got enlightenment( in Dzongkaha it is called JangchubSing).

Did you know the oldest living tree in this earth is? If no, then it is the Baniyan tree in the botanical garden in Calcutta, India.  It is 350 years old. We have a younger Baniyan tree in the middle of the park just below basketball court. You might not see in other places as this tree is quite rare. Don’t miss too see it.

Thank you everyone for creating beautiful environment, let’s do more and be the proud owner of this pristine environment and our school.
