PELKHIL SCHOOL

Monday is a holiday!!

The Annual School Concert was held on 24th and 25th May at the Lungtenzampa MSS auditorium.

18 May 2013 For the second year in a row, the Pelkhil volleyball team fell to the Kelki onslaught. In 2012, our team had been thoroughly thrashed by a much a well-trained outfit from Kelki in just 2 sets. This year the thrashing was much less severe although we again lost in 3 straight sets.  While our team of 2012 had been a rag-tag team of players from basketball, athletics and football, this year we had several regular volleyball players and a bunch of other pretty good players to support them.

All the same, Kelki’s team was more skilled overall, better coordinated and also played more consistently. Pelkhil lost the first two sets relatively easily. The third set was far closer and Pelkhil even led for a while 20-19. But a series of errors at the end of the set lost the match.

The girls also put up a good showing against the girls from Motithang HSS. Again, the consistency of the MHSS girls proved the downfall of our team who lost in straight sets.

All the students regretted the almost total lack of preparation that had been put into volleyball this year. The 3 weeks prior to the volleyball fixtures had all been spent with the Unit Tests, Basketball tourney and finally the Athletics Tournament which gave the team almost no time to prepare as a team.

Kencho Tshering establishes fastest time in 200m

16 May 2013 The Thimphu Valley athletics competition held at the BAAF Track Field concluded today after 4 days of events. Pelkhil School fielded probably the smallest contingent in the high school category with about 10 students, but produced a good crop of medals.

1. 100m Boys – Kencho Tshering – Gold
2. 200m Boys – Kencho Tshering – Gold
3. Shot Put Boys – Ngawang Jamtsho – Gold
4. Long Jump Boys – Kencho Tshering – Gold
5. Javelin Boys – Ngawang Jamtsho – Gold
6. Discus Boys – Ugyen Wangchuk – Silver
7. High Jump Boys – Sonam Kinga – Bronze
8. High Jump Girls – Tshering Pem – Bronze
9. Triple Jump Boys – Sonam Kinga – Bronze

Unfortunately, Kencho Tshering had to give up one gold medal on the technicality that 1 person was not allowed to take part in more than 2 events. Whatever the rule, the fact remains he delivered the fastest time in the 100m race. Congratulations!

In the overall standings in the high school category, Pelkhil School with the smallest team stood THIRD with 4 gold medals.

YHSS came first with 13 Golds and Kelki HSS came second with 4 Golds and 8 Silvers.

13 May 2013 Today was the first of 4 days of track and field events organized by the Bhutan Amateur Athletic Federation (BAAF) among the schools in Thimphu valley. In the first day, Ngawang Jamtsho achieved first place in the shot put. Sonam Kinga earned third spot in the high jump.
