May WaheGuru bless all those and thier families who kindly donated to this project and bless them with good health and happiness always

Punjabi Lessons |
![]() |
The Gurdwara offers free Punjabi classes every Sunday and anyone and everyone is welcome to join.
A lot of the children attending, usually come from a background that do not even speak the language at home, which imposes quite a challenge to get them not only to read but also start speaking fluent Punjabi as a new language.

The course is prepared such that it is in-line with the teaching curriculum and gives a great starting opportunity for the children as it also recognised by the respected schools that the children attend.
The course is tailored to cater for either basic or advance level students and the group is appropriately broken up into these two sections however all students are still seated within the same room, so the children feel comfortable to interact with other children.
The teaching also caters for children with special needs and was accredited by EMASS about 2years ago. Therefore appropriate methods are adapted to suit individuals that require this extra attention.
