Senior Secondary School for 16- 18-year-olds

The school's next strategic educational step is to build Senior Secondary School facilities.

This will comprise 6 classrooms and 3 science laboratories, for up to 240 students, and additional dry latrines.

This new senior secondary school will provide courses in:

• commerce
• humanities
• non-medical & medical science

enabling our students to stay at DPKS for the higher-level exams and not have to leave their much-loved school to study elsewhere. As there is a shortage of schools in Ladakh offering Senior Secondary courses, DPKS will also open its doors to new students wishing to study these subjects.

Ventilated-Improved-Pit Dry Latrines

The school campus needs two additional pairs of dry latrines for the increasing number of students.

Seismic Upgrade and Mudslide Repair Programme

Ladakh lies in a high-risk seismic area and it is essential that we protect the children here at school.

DPKS construction programme is now in receipt of a generous corporate grant to assist with the mudslide repair and seismic upgrade of the buildings damaged in 2010. The school buildings are being upgraded to increase resilience in the event of an earthquake. We are now raising the remaining funds to bring this programme to completion and ensure the safety of our children for many years to come.
