About Us
OUR SCHOOL
The Most Senior Venerable
Thich Thien Tam
Founders Message
"Understanding and love is not something that you gain, it exists like a seed in every child.
The Hoa Nghiem Primary School was founded as an environment where children can be awakened to their capacity to be wise and loving individuals. Through education, meditation and mindfulness practices, they will enter society as global citizens and contribute with compassionate thoughts and actions.”
Our Approach
The Philosophy that underpins HNBC's provision of outstanding education is manifested through our System Learning Approach which encompasses our purpose and focus, our spirit and values as well as UNESCO's 4 dimensions of "Learning to Be" in the 21st century.
We go as a river
Mindfulness is our capacity to be fully present in our own lives, to be more fully aware of what we are doing as we are doing it. As we develop our awareness, an inner stillness naturally grows. We are better able to embrace the world, better able to respond wisely and lovingly.
