My Dream for Blue Sky Public High School


Old Building of Sschool
Present
 I would like to provide a service to my community that has some very special needs. The education of children in Nepal is still very poor. I want to help in
future
this area.
Before I started my school, I had already been involved in the teaching field. I wanted to do more to improve education in Nepal, so I decided to open my own school. I established a primary school in 1996. It is a private school not supported by the government. It depends on student fees, donations and sponsorship.

The 50% parents are economically are very low. They cannot send their children to school. Some are construction workers. Some go to door to door to clean dishes and wash clothes. Some has  small vender of green vegetable and corns on the street. Some has saloon  and some has small grocery shop. They can not afford the money for good rooms. So they rent or make home in the  riverside. So I planned to bring their  at my school providing scholarship and sponsorship. They are very happy at BSP School because  It is an English medium school and trying its best to provide a quality education.













I have a dream to establish a school with good facilities in Nepal. But I could not do anything to develop the facilities of it because all the money that is  received from school fees was used for teacher’s salary and house rent.
Nowadays, I have got some facilities with help of friends.

Previous
present

David Rusk, retired principal and the former adviser of  the ministry of education, South Australia visited my school for the  first time in  2004. He is adviser of Blue Sky Public School now. He sent Margaret to visit my school in 2005. There were no books at the school when Margaret Congram, from South Australia, visited my school. She remarked and bought some books for my school. Then Margaret Greatrex from UK sent some books for the children.
Now we have more than ten thousand books in the school library. David Rusk has sent more than eight thousand books (fiction, non  fiction, dictionaries, atlases, picture books, teachers books etc )  from South Australia with help of the South Pacific Aid Book shed and the Rotary Club of Brownhill Creek. Charlie, from Unley High school in South Australia also supports me to buy some dictionaries.
Katie , Alish, poicta, Lovren, Shannon and  Jordie  from Melbourne supported our students  to buy some books. I am very grateful to them. Margaret Congram and Ralf  from Germany supported the school to buy some books cases and carpeting. The members of Rotary club of Brownhill Creek sorted the library books and put them into levels and subjects .
Future
What I need Now For My  Library
I need more books, but at the moment I also need some book racks , mats , sofa and a movable display stand where I can put new books only. I need more fiction books for all levels. My students are from 2.5 years to 17 years old. I would like to make my library a fantastic place where students like to spend more time reading books. I would like to keep a machine (Bar code reader) to enter the names of who borrows books from library. I have invited people in my community to borrow the books from my library. I provide a reading champion award to the student who reads the most books.


 

Computer labs


When Margaret Congram visited my school the second time, she came with a plan. She bought some second hand Pentium 2 computers with help of Blackwood Rotary Club in 2008. I had no computers before

then. My students were very happy to touch and play with the computers. Then Blackwood Primary school supported me to buy some second hand Pentium 3 computers. Now we have five laptops. Charlie  Marino  and Unley High School family sent these laptops.

What I need for  IT ?
Future plan
I want to have 20 laptops for my new computer lab. I have got 5 and I need 15 more. I need some furniture  as well  to make an effective and fantastic lab.
                                           Science  Lab
  
I had some computers in the computer lab and books in library but nothing in the science lab. I was worried about it, because  the science lessons were not practical. I was very impressed when I visited many science labs during my visit to South Australia . I bought science materials when  I came back from SA. I could make some furniture as Jenny from Pulteney Grammar School in South Australia sent some money for racks for the science equipment. Then I talked to Charlie, from  Unley High School, SA ,  and he sent 12 microscopes and some equipment  with help of his school family. It is great.
What I Need Now
I need some PC electronic microscopes and other special science equipment. I need some furniture and gas cylinders.

                            My Dream of Science Lab
I want to make a separate science lab room where students may go to study science and do practice there. I would like to fix some tables with water basin and gas supply.

Future
  

                          






Smart Board
When I visited the Australian school, I saw smart boards for the first time. It is good technology to teach students. I talked to Charlie about a projector. He is teaching science from SA through Skype. He raised some money to buy a projector and sound system.
What I Need
I want to use smart board or projector at least up to year three class.
 

Sports

There is no big field, however the students can play basket ball , ping pong and badminton. I have a ping pong frame. There is basket ball board but it is so old.
What I need
I need a new ping pong board and basket ball back boards and some basket balls. I have received some skipping ropes from Woodend primary  School and Pulteney Grammar School ,SA. I need some badminton rockets too.
Music Instruments
At the moment, I only have 4 madals (drums). To develop my music program, I would like to have drum set, violins, guitars, key boards.
I am very hopeful to realize my dream. At the beginning I had nothing except students. Now I am getting many things. I hope I will make my school a fantastic school not only up to national, but also to international standard.
I Wish God bless my school to get many helpful hands. I am thankful to God too.
