Our Vision for Students

Our vision for our students is that they identify themselves as loving servants of Lord Krishna. The school endeavours to provide a supportive environment where children's innate devotional qualities can emerge. These devotional qualities will be shown through the students' cooperative and enthusiastic involvement in all learning experiences.

While encouraging students to practise devotional service, the Gurukula also provides space for them to reflect and be aware of their own social, emotional and physical necessities. Teachers serve as role models in how to satisfy these necessities in ways that are sustainable and respectful of the rights of other living beings.

The main outcomes that every student is guided towards, within the scope of spirit, mind, and body are to:

SPIRIT

• Recognise the need for shelter and guidance from parents, teachers, spiritual masters and ultimately Lord Krishna
• Develop habits of daily devotional practices, including meditation on the Holy Names of Krishna and Deity worship
• Demonstrate the 26 qualities of the Vaishnavas through acting as responsible and inclusive citizens both within the school and in society
