WHY DO WE NEED THIS PROJECT?
{h3 style =”margin-left: 40px”;}”To create a prestigious Buddhist school that nurtures future wholesome leaders with a selfless purpose to light up the world.” – The vision of Mr Panha Pal, our Founding Principal
When we look carefully at the world, we can see that it seeks to mislead our children with the delicious poisons of greed and selfishness. Thus, it is a moral imperative that we adults who see through the illusion offer protection to the minds of our youth, the future leaders of our world, in the form of moral education.
In our short history, and limited manpower & funds, we have been able to touch and transform many children into virtuous characters with balanced personal asset of academic excellence and upright moral conduct, just as a lotus plant grows out of the mud, wade through the murky waters reaching towards the sunlight just to bloom untarnished lotus flowers.
HOW CAN WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD?
Sadly though, we had difficulties in gaining the trust of the wider community due to our lack of facilities. Our current rented school site consists of a standalone 2-storey building, carpark and a small grass play space. In contrast, the Christian, Catholic and Muslim schools have an assembly hall, sporting field, a canteen, a swimming pool, cooking kitchen, a library building, Gymnasium, etc. For this reason, despite our exceptional educational program, we failed to win the confidence of many Buddhist parents, who enrolled their children to other private schools simply because they have more trust in their facilities than in ours.
We know that over the last 40 years, we Buddhists failed to put ourselves on the map of the Australian educational arena. One main reason is due to the fact that we stand relatively divided. Our Buddhist School has been standing for the last 6 years. We need your help to ensure the long-standing of a Buddhist school as the new choice in education.
WHAT TO DO TO GET STARTED?
We are currently renting small under-resourced premises and we need to build a proper-sized school which will have the educational facilities and resources, similar to all other established schools, in order for our students to yield the fruits of our holistic, unique education. We need to raise $3 million by the end of 2020 to complete the purchase of a parcel of land to grow our School.
