Gujarati School

WIA Gujarati School operates every Sunday except school holidays at Bharat Bhavan, 48 Kemp St, Kilbirnie. The operating hours are from 9.00am to 12 midday.

Structure 

Gujarati school classes are run by a team of teachers who take Mandir session, structured classes and coordinate activities for various festivals.

A team of committee members and volunteers support the teachers in the smooth running of Gujarati school.

The Aim of Gujarati school is: 
  • To provide an environment where children feel they are part of the wider community while developing an understanding of Gujarati language, culture and customs.
  • To provide an environment where children can foster friendship with other children and have an opportunity to meet other children from the community.
  • To foster a sense of pride and high self esteem in being a Gujarati.
  • To allow students to develop verbal communication skills in order to feel at ease within a Gujarati speaking environment.
  • To teach students to read and write Gujarati.
  • To make the language interesting.
