Leppington:
Our First Purchased Site
In 2017, four years after its inauguration, Pal Buddhist School's fundraising team launched a campaign to acquire a 3-acre block of land in Leppington NSW, with the aim of establishing the school's first owned campus.
Through the support and dedication of the PBS community, volunteers, and benefactors, the team worked tirelessly to overcome challenges including fundraising during a global pandemic. On 5 November 2020, the school successfully purchased the land. The achievement was made possible by the community's trust in PBS's mission and commitment to providing wholesome education to the youth.
With the land secured, we began the formal planning process in 2021 for the development of the new campus, which aims to deliver the best possible education for future leaders of society. The school looks forward to working collaboratively with the community to achieve this goal.
