Classes:

The school has developed different programs to teach Bangla language and culture. Apart from textbook and classroom teaching of the Bangla language, the children are taught various cultural activities,such as songs, dances and drama. To meet parents’ requests for Islamic education, the school also holds religion classes, where children are taught to read and learn verses from the Koran. Modern teaching aids such as audiocassettes,videos and Internet are also used as a form of communication to the students of the school. The weekly classes strongly emphasizes formal reading and writing, however, this is done through stories, poems, games and other material relevant to the interests of the different aged students. One of the highlights of the school every week are the lolly bags – chips, chocolate and juice – which no child refuses. The school runs on Sundays during ACT school terms, for 3 hours from 10:00AM – 1:00PM and classes are closed during RAMADAN.
