Our Supporters
We could not do what we do without the generosity of our supportive community.
Founding Benefactors
To those who supported the compelling vision to register the first Buddhist philosophical primary school in Australia, and funded the School’s start up year, we thank you:
Kaye L. Jacob
Venerable Thubten Gyatso and Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery
Su Dennett, Melliodora Farm
George Farley
And special gratitude to our former school parent who procured our permanent school site against great odds:
Brendon Eisner
Shakyamuni Buddha Statue Benefactors
During the School’s fourteenth year, a fundraiser was held to commission our first statue. The Buddha statue is a powerful reminder to practice the teachings of peace making and harmony, values that are the basis of the school’s focus on wellbeing.
Quang Minh Temple Congregation
MP My Phuong Nguyen (major donor)
Konchok Buddhist Centre
Wat Phra Dhammakaya Temple, Dhammakaya Society of Victoria
Harmonious Friends Benefactors
Thank you to these friends on the path who commissioned the carving of the 4 Harmonious Friends statue by Bendigo artist Linton Torr, in memory of Hannalor, their dharma sister. Each day this reminds our students as they enter school of the power and harmony that comes when we work with cooperation.
