AUSTRALIA’S first Buddhist high school, Pal Buddhist School, is leading the charge with another unique initiative: a collaboration with non-profit coaching service Teach4Peace.

Charity and generosity are at the heart of the Canley Vale school, and the same principles apply for Teach4Peace, which helps fund humanitarian aid projects.

Pal Buddhist School Deputy Principal Helen Lam said the tutoring service was one of the first of its kind.

“Teach4Peace is set up as a non-profit tutoring school, and I think that’s probably the first that I’ve heard of,” she said.
