Mahayana New Year

Mahayana New Year is a celebration of the new year for Mahayana Buddhist communities. Translating to “Greater Vehicle”, this day is a significant cultural occasion in which communities prioritise bonding with their families to carry out their own unique traditions. This New Year reflects a time to meditate and reflect both individually and as a community with the aim to reach enlightenment through kindness and gratitude.

Multicultural education allows students to acknowledge the rich cultures, histories and languages of others, building greater intercultural interaction. This encourages students to gain knowledge of cultural traditions and takes us a step closer to a society that recognises, acknowledges and appreciates the uniqueness of each culture.

Our popular Multicultural Day Program is a highly engaging and immersive workshop which promotes the importance of intercultural understanding and is available in all states. With an option to choose to discover 5 continents, students learn about culture, history and language in great depth. With interactive activities ranging from critical discussion, dancing and more, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of a variety of cultures.

We also offer a Mini Multicultural Day for pre-primary students across all states which allows the choice of 3 individual pre-primary programs. You can explore one culture, language or topic in depth or travel the world with a program from each continent.

Additionally, our Intercultural Citizenship Ambassador Program (ICAP) available Australia-wide is a valuable and comprehensive program that addresses ethical understanding, critical thinking and global citizenship. In alignment with the aims of the International Day of Education, our ICAP program promotes students to understand various traditions while gaining greater intercultural understanding.
