First Hindu School In Australia To Open In 2027 With $8.5 Mn Grant
Last Updated: Australia announced an $8.5 million grant to build the country's first Hindu school. Located in Oakville, Sydney, the school will serve over 1,000 students. In April, Australia announced a grant of $8.5 million to help the Hindu community in the country build its first Hindu school. Posting about the development on the microblogging platform 'X', Australian Education Minister Jason Clare stated that the investment will make the dreams of the Australian Hindu community a reality. He also said that the government will also commit $2.4m to expand the work of Karma Kitchen which helps to feed homeless Aussies. 'Today we announced an $8.5m commitment to help build the first Hindu school in Australia. This investment will make the dreams of the Australian Hindu community a reality," Clare posted on 'X'. 'And on top of that, we'll commit $2.4m to expand the work of Karma Kitchen which helps to feed homeless Aussies," he added. When Will The School Open? According to reports, Australia's first Hindu school is expected to welcome its first batch of students in 2027. The school will offer classes from kindergarten through Year 12, with plans to accommodate over 1,000 students. Located in Oakville, in Sydney's north-west, the land for the school was acquired through community fundraising efforts. The Hindu Education and Cultural Centre (HEACC) will be responsible for administering the institution. Hinduism is currently among the fastest-growing religions in Australia. However, as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, however, there is no mainstream Hindu school in the country a gap the Sanatan School aims to address. Why A Hindu School? 'A Hindu school has been missing from Australia's multicultural tapestry for too long, and the amount of enthusiasm and encouragement we have heard is testament to that," Aggarwal told The Sydney Morning Herald. Surinder Jain, Vice President of the Hindu Council of Australia, echoed this sentiment, telling the outlet, 'I struggled, and most other parents struggled, to work out how to teach our Hindu values to our children." 'We've all had to improvise at home. And while that works, a formal system was always needed, and many parents have been wishing for a school for a while," he said. What Will Students Learn? The Hindu School will follow the standard NSW curriculum while also offering religious education tailored to Hindu teachings. Although the exact fee structure is yet to be finalised, it is estimated to range between $10,000 and $15,000 per year, according to the report. First Published: June 06, 2025, 15:06 IST
