History of Lungtenzampa School
In 1970, a group of India House ladies used the rooms of the Government Guest House, at Lungtenzampa to
organize a nursery classes for some of their children. They also invited Bhutanese children to play sessions. The
ladies did this on a voluntary basis, whenever they were free.
In 1972, His Majesty’s Representative in the Ministry of Development HRH Ashi Dechen Wangmo Wangchuck,
decided that there was a need for the Government to run a Nursery School, in Thimphu, and Her Royal
Highness asked Mrs. Carolyn Tshering to set it up. Mrs. Carolyn Tshering was transferred from Thimphu Public
School, (now called Yanchenphug Higher Secondary School), where she had been teaching from the time she
arrived in Bhutan in 1966.
The Nursery School was opened in March 1972, using the same building – The old Government Guest House at
Lungtenzampa. The school was called Thimphu Nursery School. The school started with 40, three-year olds, in
two classes. Mrs. Carolyn Tshering took one class and Mrs. K.K. Tshering took the other. The school had one
watchman and one maid/assistant.
The Education Department provided a mug of orange juice (tinned Druk Orange Juice) and two biscuits for
each child, every morning. Many of the ex-students still recall the pleasure of the daily orange juice.
At some point in the 70’s the school was upgraded to a Primary School. Later the school became Junior High
School and was called Lungtenzampa Junior High School. This meant our children can stay with us until class
VIII.
A multipurpose hall and a 16 room building were opened by Her Royal Highness Ashi Dechen Wangmo in 1981.
The rooms included a library and a science laboratory.
In the year 1984 Mrs. Carolyn Tshering resigned and the school was run by Mr. Borrow and there after the
school was headed by a number of heads as follows:
1970 – 1984 - Mrs. Carolyn Tshering

1985 – 1988 - Mr. Burrow
1988 – 1990 - Mrs. Pem Sherab
1991 – 1994 - Mr. Chencho Dorji
1995 – 1997 - Mrs. Chuki Tobgyel Wangchuk
1997 – 1998 - Mr. Sherub Gyeltshen
2
1998 – 2004 - Mrs. Chuki Tobgyel Wangchuk

2005 - … - Mrs. Kinley Pem
The school was upgraded to High School in the year 2001 and it was welcomed by the staff, students and
parents, as it was perceived as recognition of the teachers’ commitment and capability to shoulder a larger
responsibility. It inspired the teachers to work harder to prove themselves worthy of the trust placed in them
by the Department of Education.
Following the up gradation of the school to Middle Secondary School from the beginning of 2002 academic
year, the first batch of 117 students from Lungtenzampa Middle Secondary School appeared for the BCSE
exams in December 2002.
From its early beginning Lungtenzampa School has always inspired to higher level of excellence, both in
academics and extra-curricular pursuits, and the outstanding results obtained by our 1st batch of BCSE.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE POLICY (2014)
1. Vision, Mission and Goals
The Lungtenzampa Middle Secondary School (LZMSS) is an illustrious public school in the country with Their
Majesties the King and Queen as its most distinguished alumni.
Our vision therefore is to continue to be the school of education par excellence, and the mission is to give the
best educational experiences to our young minds in the school so that we prepare them as successful and
productive citizens.
We wish to pursue our vision and mission through the six goals below:
1. To achieve academic excellence.

2. To produce dynamic citizens who practice the GNH values.
3. To explore and nurture the innate abilities and potentials.
4. To inculcate positive social and civic values.
5. To promote harmonious and caring learning environment.
6. To enhance rational and critical thinkers.
2. What is the LMSS School Discipline Policy?
10
A student has right to attend school in a safe environment and right to be happy and to be treated with
respect.
Simultaneously, a student has responsibility to respect the personal rights of other fellow students, respect
teachers, and help maintain a calm and quiet school, care for all school property and come to school in clean
and neat school uniform and on time for all classes.
Acknowledgement of students’ rights and responsibilities is a first step towards attainment of being the best
school.
All students are expected to follow and abide by the Code of Student Conduct, however, students are found to
breach the Code and make mistakes.
In the history of education the most common means of maintaining discipline in schools was corporal
punishment. This often meant that students were commonly canned. The corporal punishment in schools is
today banned in most countries. Here in our own country, the Penal Code of Bhutan 2004 protects a child from
violence of any form, and we are signatory to the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. Further,
the Parliament in 2012 passed the Child Care and Protection Act of Bhutan. The Ministry of Education
following the resolution of the 13th Annual Education Conference in …circulated to all schools two documents
(i) Guidelines for Review of School Discipline Policy, and (ii) A Guide to School Discipline Management, and
required the individual schools to develop their own school discipline policy which shall take into account their
specific circumstances.
The LMSS School Discipline Policy is therefore expected to foster and protect the core values of the school, to
protect the rights of general students and teachers, to create a school environment that is safe and conducive
to learning. More specifically, it is expected to identify and discourage student behavior that conflicts with the
Student Code of Conduct, set clear school rules on school discipline problems and sanctions thereof, maintain
fairness and consistency in addressing disciplinary issues, and everyone, the staff, parents and students clearly
understand it and has the acceptance of it.
The school shall pursue the two-pronged strategy of (i) Prevention and (ii) Control when implementing the
Policy.
The Policy is not exhaustive, thus judgments will need to take account of the circumstances of individual cases
and circumstances.
3. Positive Intervention: Prevention is the Best Cure
The school discipline is effectively managed first by having prevention strategies which will not only correct
misbehaviour but also teach appropriate behavior. Positive intervention approach is grounded in teachers’
respect for students.
The School Management therefore may pursue and undertake the following actions:
1. Continue the tradition of printing the School Discipline Policy in the School Diary.
2. Read out the School Discipline Policy in the beginning of the school academic year and have
parents and students sign on it as evidence of their having read, understood and accepting it.
11
3. Invite guest speakers.

4. Frequently talk on values (cooperative and harmonious living, love, gratitude, gentleness,
consideration, peace, honesty, respect for property, selflessness, interdependence, service to
others, humaneness, patience, tolerance, time management, responsibility etc.).
5. Teach how to differentiate between right and wrong.
6. Talk on some of the negative effects brought about by encroachment of media culture.
7. Instill in children a sense of civic responsibility (cleaning campaign, proper disposal of wastes
etc).
8. Always strive to do what is in the children’s best interests.
9. Act fairly and consistently. If justice is denied, our children may not be keen to follow the rules.
10. Deal with disruptions immediately and privately but as far as possible outside class hours. Do
not label the child. By doing this you will tend to treat the child differently from other children
and situation will worsen.
11. To single out the disruptive child in front of public (during assembly, prayer or meal time) is not
desirable.
12. Be sensitive to children’s strong emotions. Always tackle the problem through positive
intervention strategies. Understand children’s developmental abilities. Show empathy and
respect to children. Accept differences. Talk and reason with children in age-appropriate ways.
13. Do not force apologies. Do not pressurize children. Do not instill fear in children. Do not let
children cooperate only because of fear.
14. Be aware of children’s personal, health and family problems.
15. Keep close link with parents.
16. Give responsibility to children.
17. Inform career options and counseling services.
18. Watch on pressured children by peers.
19. Strengthen teacher-parent support group.
20. Teach children to accept failure.
4. Code of Conduct for Students
The Code of Conduct for Students issued by the Ministry of Education considers the actions of the students
below as breach of the Code:

24. Irregularity (in attending classes, extra-curricular activities etc.).
5. School Discipline System
The middle secondary school is a time when students begin to take on more responsibilities and to make
increasingly important choices about their own behavior and academics. We know that the children need
guidance and experience to make right choices. Students make mistakes, and it is important that we allow for
that, encourage them to learn from their mistakes.
The school discipline system is therefore designed to work on categorization of offences into minor and major
offences, and assigning stages within each category based on the seriousness of the offence, the disruption to
the learning environment and level of threat to the safety of students and staff, and that the disciplinary
sanction is commensurate with the offence.
Minor offences shall refer to minor acts of carelessness, genuine mistakes and misconduct that interfere with
the orderly operation of the classroom, a school function and extracurricular/ co-curricular program. A
teacher will directly deal with the student or refer the case to the Vice-Principals or Principal for offences
under it.
Major offences shall refer to major acts of misconduct which may include repeated misconducts of the minor
offences. The case will be referred to the School Discipline Committee.
6. School Discipline Committee
The School Discipline shall comprise the following:
1. Principal / Vice Principals
13
2. Staff Secretary
3. Class Teacher
4. Any Teacher involved in the Case
7. Minor Offences and Disciplinary Actions
The minor offences shall include:
1. Not coming in proper dress code - no proper uniform and hair cut/applying makeup and using
