Today, Samtse Higher Secondary School hosted the Boys Talk, facilitated by our dedicated Health and Wellbeing Team. This important session focused on fostering open conversations around sexual health, responsibility, harmful impact of alcohol, smoking, inhalant, marijuana, and some preventive measures. Through this initiative, we aim to empower our boys to build healthy relationships, understand their sexual responsibilities, and make informed decisions. By creating a safe space for dialogue, we encourage them to be responsible and confident as they navigate these crucial aspects of life. Let’s continue supporting our students in developing healthy and responsible attitudes.
