Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do children who graduate from Hare Krishna School integrate within the Australian School system?
    Children who graduate from our school are equipped with the social, emotional and spiritual assets to thrive in any environment. We encourage children to be responsible, respectful and resilient. Children in our school have been observed by a cross section of professional service providers from the medical and educational fields as being highly motivated, mature and capable of self-monitoring.
  • What about bullying?
    We are fortunate that bullying is not an issue at our school. The children are taught to see everyone as an eternal servant of God and with this vision to treat every living entity with respect and dignity. Many of our children have come to our school from other schools in Auckland and have reported to us unfortunate incidents of racism and other forms of bullying in their previous schools. All forms of bullying are unacceptable and we have a zero tolerance to bullying.
  • Do you teach which curriculum?
    We teach the Vedic cultural subjects of Bhagavad-gita, harmonium and mrdanga. Our values education programme synthesizes universal values within the Vedic cultural tradition.
  • What is your policy on homework?
    We believe homework is an opportunity for connecting home and school. In this sense, we use homework as a vehicle to share with parents and family members the important academic and cultural lessons from school. Homework is never given simply to fill in time. It is purposeful and connected to the learning experience within the classroom curriculum. We also believe that children should have time to play and be children and therefore we ensure the homework does not take up much time.
  • What is so special about Hare Krishna School?
    The GGG School is a cultural school. We are dedicated to providing the very best in education; spiritually and materially. Our children feel a tremendous sense of security and based on this secure environment, they are willing to explore, experiment and express their individuality. We have created an ideal supportive atmosphere for any child to develop to their full potential.
