🔔 Please note that children who are already enrolled and attended in the previous semester do not need to re-register.

🤝 This is a structured and continuous programme. Families are encouraged to enrol only if they can commit to regular attendance throughout the term, as consistency is key to children’s learning and group continuity.

📝 Families who submitted registrations in previous enrolment rounds but were not offered a place due to limited capacity also do not need to submit a new registration. Those applications will remain on our waiting list and will be given priority consideration as places become available. This new Expression of Interest process is in addition to the existing waiting list.

⚠️ Important
📍 Allocation of places is strictly based on the availability of seats and order of registration.
📍 Submission of this Expression of Interest does not guarantee a place.
📍 If a place is not available, your child will be placed on a waiting list and contacted when a spot becomes available.

No Name School "I would rather have our education systems boost our youngsters’ confidence, creativity, and authenticity so that the next generation will be mentally and emotionally resilient, receptive, and able to ride and glide with the currents of that time"- DJKR

Glimpses of Tshether (saving lives), Trowa Lerim (dancing and singing), Tshogkhor (Ganachakra Puja), and other activities held on 18 June 2026 in celebration of the Birthday of Kyabje Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.

The day also coincided with the Dechog (Parinirvana Anniversary) of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö and the 1st Anniversary of the establishment of No Name School.

Rinpoche la,

A yogi longs for your instructions,

Lamas chase for empowerments,

Practitioners turn for guidance,

The devoted gather for blessings,

The sceptical ask for answers,

The confused run after clarity,

The elderly look for reassurance,

Youngsters wish for direction,

Artists cherish for inspiration,

Women wait for photographs,

The addicted hopes for acceptance,

The suffering search for hope,

The marginalized long for belonging,

The weary crave for courage,

With numberless beings yearning for you, Dear Rinpoche,

Please remain among us in health and strength

for a minimum of one hundred years in this life.

Happiest Birthday!

During our Duechen Ngazom celebration at the centre today, we reflected on the profound importance of questioning, curiosity, and the pursuit of wisdom, inspired by the following words:

Actually, the most important part of studying is to ask questions about
everything. Actually, getting answers is not that important. But questioning is
very important for life- DJKR

Duechen Ngazom Celebration – 30 & 31 May 2026

To celebrate Duechen Ngazom on 30–31 May 2026, commemorating the auspicious convergence of the five enlightened deeds of the Buddha—his conception, birth, victory over Mara, enlightenment, and parinirvana—we organised a special program for our children and families.

As part of the celebration, we visited a Sri Lankan Buddhist temple, where the children had the opportunity to learn about and experience our Theravadan Buddhist tradition. Together, we offered prayers and conducted a session beneath a sacred Bodhi tree imported from Sri Lanka, believed to be an offspring of the original Bodhi tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment.

The children also watched educational videos on the life story of the Buddha and participated in class activities and learning sessions. At the same time, parents gathered to practise Drolchog (Tara Puja) and participate in the Tersul ritual.

We are truly honoured to officially welcome and introduce Mrs. Tenzin Zangmo as the Official School Counsellor of No Name School 🤍

Mrs. Tenzin Zangmo has been a dedicated educator of No Name School since the early days of the school’s journey. In addition to her contribution as an educator, she is also a qualified and certified counsellor in Australia, accredited by PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia), and authorised to practise professionally.

Her areas of experience and support include:
• Therapeutic engagement and rapport-building
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Trauma-informed counselling practice
• Harm minimisation and recovery-oriented care
• AOD and psychosocial assessment
• Relapse prevention and risk assessment
• Case management and care coordination
• Dual-diagnosis (AOD & mental health) support
• Group facilitation and psychoeducation
• Ethical practice, documentation, and supervision

At No Name School, we believe that every child deserves to feel heard, understood, supported, and genuinely cared for with compassion and kindness. We recognise that emotional and mental wellbeing play a deeply important role in a child’s confidence, learning, growth, and overall development. We warmly encourage parents to reach out in confidence should they feel their child may benefit from counselling support, guidance, or simply a safe and understanding space to be heard.

📞 For confidential support, please contact Mrs. Tenzin Zangmo on 0435 965 959

For now, this counselling support service will be available exclusively to No Name School children, families, and registered members of the community, and will be provided completely free of charge.

We sincerely hope that parents and families will make meaningful use of this support for the wellbeing and benefit of their children. We are confident that Mrs. Tenzin Zangmo’s care, presence, and professional guidance will be a valuable support to our school community, and we are deeply grateful to have her as part of the No Name School family 🌸

Today, we were happy to welcome a new batch of students aged 13–15 years to our Friday programme at No Name School.

Our classes will be held every Friday from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM

This evening, we also conducted an induction and orientation session with both parents and students, where we shared the vision and aspirations of the school, our learning approach, and the importance of collective support and participation in sustaining this journey together.

We are deeply grateful for the trust, encouragement, and presence of our families as we continue building this learning community together .

“I want to see our children learn how to grow their own vegetables. Through
that, they can learn so much biology, ecology, physics and chemistry. Having
this skill is also very practically important for future food security and even national security, because our children need to be prepared for a time when food supply lines will be disrupted” - DJKR

Today, on 2nd May 2026, we resumed our journey, beginning Term 2 of Semester 1 after a short break, and warmly welcomed a new batch of students.

By a beautiful coincidence, it is also Teacher’s Day in Bhutan. In our own simple way, we honoured our teachers of past, present, and emerging and our educators, whose gentle guidance shapes both minds and hearts. 🙏

“We can teach our children that morality is so important, and eventually we can teach them that we should not be stuck with morality. In fact, this is where we have to be a little dangerous. As a Buddhist, I have to say that morality is never in the driver's seat. The driver's seat should be occupied by wisdom, and compassion should be next to the driver. Morality sits behind in the luggage compartment”.-DJKR

A former student, Pema Sonam Rigsel, who graduated last semester after turning 13 years, has written a quiet, heartfelt poem about No Name School and shared it with his educators. In his words linger memories, belonging, and the gentle imprint of a place that shaped not just his learning, but his heart.
