 PKS
Sat/Sun
School
PKS Sat/Sun School was founded in September
1983 with the help of a few volunteer Dharma teachers and supporting
staff. The
first batch of classes commenced with 70 pupils, from Pre-primary
to Secondary 1. Due to shortage of classrooms, they had their lessons
in the Dharma Hall, which was divided into 4 smaller classrooms.
We grew to about 200 students and more volunteer
Dharma teachers join us. The school program expanded to
include more activities such as community service, outings and
camps.
To cater for expansion, new Dharma teachers and supporting
staff were recruited to run the school. Currently the school has
about
85 teachers and 950 students. Classes range from Primary 1 to Secondary
4 and take place in the Pagoda of 10,000 Buddhas and Ven. Hong Chuan
Memorial Hall on both Saturdays and Sundays.
Our Vision A model institution for Buddhist education.
Our Mission
To propagate the Dharma to the young, for their spiritual development
and well-being, through the joy of learning, practicing
