Hoa Nghiem Buddhist College (HNBC) offers children an environment grounded in Buddhist philosophy, where they develop their quality of learning as well as their quality of being. By practising awareness in action at school, they learn to make wise decisions in all aspects of their lives, not only for themselves but also for their community, and to engage confidently with the local and global challenges of their time.
Every year, HNBC produces results that exceed the Australian NAPLAN standard, driven by our innovative, adaptative and holistic teaching strategies, our expert and dedicated support team and our systemic approach to learning, all designed to challenge each and every one of our students. Based on Buddhist philosophy to aquire a clear mind and a clear heart in its teaching practice, our educational team "sees the lotus to come in every seed".
The systemic learning approach we offer provide children with a solid foundation to confidently meet the intellectual and emotional challenges they will encounter on their lifelong learning journey.
Hoa Nghiem Buddhist College is rooted in the tradition of the Buddhist philosophy where students develop a comprehensive understanding of impermanence and, through a variety of enquiries and practices, experience their inter-being relationship with all aspects of the living world. The aim of the Buddhist philosophy in our school is to provide an education that leads students to cultivate their quality of being in order to become wise citizens capable of meeting the challenges of their time.
Being able to connect to True Happiness is the result of an education where wisdom becomes the life purpose in whatever professional fields and personal life students will chose to venture. At Hoa Nghiem Buddhist College, students learn to connect to their inner peace where they find the peaceful strength to experience True Happiness. During their schooling, students learn to feel that True Happiness is not about having and possessing things. From introspection, deep listening as well as the progressive development of a clear mind and a clear heart, they know that True Happiness is about being.
The findings of international research carried out by UNESCO have shown that the most important learning to acquire if our children are to live sustainably in our century is to develop not only their quality of learning, but also and above all their quality of being. Learning to Be in the 21st century will be achieved through four essential learning dimensions: Learning to Be Wise, Learning to Learn Holistically, Learning to Do Ethically and Learning to Live Together.
