Our story
Bangla Language and Cultural School is a non-profit, non-political organisation.
The School operates under the umbrella of the Bangladesh Australia
Association Canberra Inc. and ACT Community Language Schools Association.
In the mid 1980’s the Bangladeshi community in Canberra felt the need
for a community school in the ACT. They established the ‘Nabaroon Bangla
School’ with a view to imparting Bangla teaching to children and to
providing awareness of the rich cultural heritage of Bangladesh.
With the increase in the number of Bangla speaking families living in
Canberra, the community members felt the need to operate the school in a
different way. The school reopened in 1992 with reinvigorated
enthusiasm and was named the Bangla Language and Cultural School.
The school’s South Side Campus location is in Tuggeranong at CIC
(Canberra Islamic Centre), Monash and the North Side Campus is in Gungahlin
at the Palmerston District Primary School.
