Immerse yourself in an inspiring afternoon that celebrates the culmination of a decade-long journey and the bright future ahead. As our Founding Principal, Mr. Pal, prepares for his final year before embarking on his path to monkhood, we invite you to be part of this momentous occasion.

Unique opportunity to judge both the cooking and performance competitions
Entirely organised and executed by our dedicated students, staff, and supportive parents

The theme "Illuminate" pays homage to Yasa, the first layman to ordain as a monk during Buddha's time, reflecting our school's vision of nurturing selfless youngsters with a purpose to light up the world. Yasa lived a life of luxury but experienced a deep sense of dissatisfaction. Upon discovering the Dhamma, he redirected his life towards a more meaningful goal: spreading the wisdom to those around him.

Similarly, after encountering the Dhamma, Mr. Pal shifted his focus to dedicating his purpose to build a Buddhist school to nurture selfless students with a purpose to light up the world.

Your presence will support our ongoing mission to instill morality, wisdom, and discipline in the next generation. All donations will contribute to the development of our Leppington campus.
