Pathashala Australia’s Participation in Nepal Festival

The Nepal Festival, organised every two years across various Australian states by NRNA Australia, has been a celebrated tradition since 2007.

Pathashala Australia proudly took part in the Nepal Festival events held in both 2022 and 2024.

At the festival on 19 November 2022 at Burwood Park, students from Pathashala Australia had the honour of singing the Nepali and Australian national anthems just before the official opening ceremony. In the same year, students Aayam, Vidhi, and Srisha performed the traditional Sorathi dance, delighting the audience with their cultural presentation.

Continuing this tradition, in the 2024 Nepal Festival, students Prajana, Ajaswi, Simol, Aprisha and friends gave another vibrant cultural dance performance, proudly representing Pathashala Australia and celebrating Nepalese heritage on stage.

As in previous years, Pathashala Australia proudly participated in the Macarthur Multicultural Children’s Festival, a wonderful celebration of diversity and culture.

Our students lit up the main stage with a vibrant Nepali dance, captivating the audience with their enthusiasm and grace. They also took part in the grand parade, proudly donning traditional Nepali attire and waving the national flag high.

It was a day filled with joy, cultural pride, and a true sense of community. Heartfelt thanks to all our students, parents, and volunteers who made the day so special. We look forward to celebrating together again next year!

At Pathashala Australia, we believe education isn’t just about books—it’s about giving children the freedom to explore, create, and express their inner world.

To bring this vision to life, we hosted a special painting workshop with talented artist Krishna Ji as our guest mentor. The theme of the day, Seaside and Trees, symbolised creativity, patience, and harmony with nature. Guided gently by Krishna Ji, each child worked on their own canvas, freely translating imagination and emotion into colour and form.

It was inspiring to see their focus and joy as they mixed paints and brought the seaside scene to life in their own unique ways. The space buzzed with creative energy, quiet determination, and shared discovery.

More than just learning to paint, it was a celebration of creativity, confidence, and cultural connection. As the children proudly took their artworks home, they carried not only paintings but also memories of growth, empowerment, and joy.

Through such programs, Pathashala Australia continues to nurture creativity and enrich our community alongside language learning.

This year too, Pathashala Australia joyfully celebrated Holi with our students, families, teachers, and volunteers at Maxwell Creek Park.

We began with a special Holi-themed lesson, where children learned about the festival’s origins and its message of joy, unity, and forgiveness. Their excitement continued through colourful drawings and art activities, bringing Holi’s spirit to life in the classroom.

The highlight of the day was playing Holi in the park—children laughing, dancing to Nepali songs, and filling the air with colour and happiness.

It was a day of laughter, learning, and togetherness. Thank you to everyone who made it possible. At Pathashala, Holi isn’t just about colours—it’s about celebrating culture and strengthening our community.

Spiritual teacher and storyteller Vyasacharya Bhuvan Ghimire visited Pathashala Australia, where he delighted our students by singing devotional songs while playing the harmonium.

It was a special moment, sharing music, culture, and inspiration with the children.

Pathashala Australia, in partnership with the Edmondson Park Bardia Nepali Community, proudly celebrates Saraswati Puja as its main annual event.

The tradition of alternating the celebration between Edmondson Park and Bardia began in 2019, when the first Saraswati Puja was held at Clermont Park, Edmondson Park—the same day Pathashala Australia was founded, making it also our anniversary.

Each year, families and children from Edmondson Park, Bardia, and other suburbs across Sydney’s South West region come together in large numbers to honor Saraswati Puja, celebrating knowledge, culture, and community.
