Melamchi-Ghyang Secondary School is a public school located in the foothill of Langtang National Park, Nepal. It lies in Helambu VDC of Sindhupalchok district. Most of the people of this region are from the Hyolmo community. They are the Himalayan indigenous people of Nepal. The Hyolmo have poor living conditions; both remote and difficult to access, with little in the way of formal education system. To address this issue Melamchi Ghyang School was established in 1985. The school now has 250 students, 150 live in hostels attached to the school. Our catchment area is both broad and diverse. Some students come from Kathmandu for the education, which we offer. We employ 16 teachers; our classes range from Reception through to Year 11. Our students sit the School Leaving Certificate (SLC) at the end of Year 10.
Library
The school firmly believes that a library is fundamental to the development of independent learners. Students can gain entertainment and knowledge by using the library's facilities. A library is taken to be the temple of goddess SARASWOTI
Laboratory
In the context of Science & Technology our school is showing slow and continuous progress. We have a fairly well resourced science laboratory.
Sport and Games
We believe and practice that the physical and mental development of the children is coupled and should progress together.
Hostel and Study Rooms Post Earthquake
These facilities are temporary, there is some concern that the high winds of the winter months will blow them down. However additional tents are being located and taken to the school. Tarpaulins are being stored for additional support.
Classrooms
We have built, with the hard work of the villagers, a Temporary Learning Center, with 11 classrooms and a staff room, from recycled materials and donated corrugated iron sheet.
