Pal Buddhist School is the first and only Buddhist Primary and High School in New South Wales, dedicated to providing young students with a unique and holistic learning experience. Rooted in the values of Buddhism, the school fosters a nurturing, inclusive, and respectful environment that empowers students to grow both academically and personally. It was an honour to attend the school's end of year 2024 awards ceremony and present the Tri Vo MP Student Leadership Awards to four outstanding recipients: for Primary School: Henry Mollica and Velvet Phan, and for High School: Munireach Py and Nancy Ha. These awards celebrate students who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, resilience, and dedication to their school community throughout the academic year. I thank Principal Mr Pal, and Head of School, Ms Helen Lam for their kind invitation and their support of the Awards. In addition, I congratulate the award recipients, teachers, staff, parents and the school for the successful year.
