Frequently Asked Questions
Trust FAQ
What does your trust actually do?
We are an incorporated association based in Canberra, Australia, focused on education support and community learning. Our work currently centres on two active initiatives: financially supporting free education at Giani Gurbachan Singh Khalsa Senior Secondary School in Bhaloor, Moga, Punjab, India, and supporting a fee-based multicultural language school initiative in the Canberra region. Through this structure, we aim to expand access to education, preserve language and culture, and create long-term community impact in a clear and responsible way.
How are your two initiatives different?
We support two very different education initiatives, and it is important to understand that distinction clearly. In Punjab, the school we support offers free education because of the trust’s financial support. In Canberra, the language school initiative is fee-based and is supported by us, but it is not a free program. This separation helps families, donors, and visitors understand exactly what each initiative offers and avoids any confusion about services, fees, or the trust’s role.
Where are you based and active?
We are publicly based in Canberra, Australia, and our work currently extends across two locations. We support an education initiative in Village Bhaloor, District Moga, Punjab, India, and we also support a language and cultural learning initiative in the Canberra region. This gives us a local community presence in Australia while also contributing to educational support in Punjab.
How can you contact the trust?
You can contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone at +61 404 694 900. We welcome genuine enquiries from families, supporters, community members, and anyone who would like to learn more about our education-focused work, our current initiatives, or our future direction.
Who leads Sarkar-E-Khalsa International Incorporated?
Our published leadership team includes Avtar Singh as President, Sarbjeet Kaur as Secretary, Davinder Singh Sidhu as Treasurer, Kamaljeet Singh as Committee Member, and Jagtar Singh as Committee Member. By showing our leadership publicly, we aim to provide transparency and help visitors understand that our work is guided by an identifiable committee with defined roles.
How does your Punjab support model work?
Our Punjab support model is based on educational funding rather than ownership or asset building. When we support an institution, our role is to help meet running expenses on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis. We are not seeking to acquire land, buildings, or furniture for adopted institutions. This approach allows us to direct support toward day-to-day educational continuity and make funding more focused and practical.
Who owns and operates the Canberra School?
The Canberra School is not owned or operated by us. Our role is to support the initiative, not to run it. This helps make clear that the trust is involved in a supportive capacity rather than as the owner or operator.
Can people support your education mission?
Yes, people can contact us to learn how they may support our education mission. While this website does not make detailed public claims about fixed donation programs or membership structures, we welcome genuine interest from individuals, families, and community members who want to understand our work and explore ways to support educational impact in a responsible and transparent manner.
What are your future education plans?
Our future direction includes supporting additional educational institutions, with broader plans that may include more schools, a girls’ college, and an army-preparation academy designed to support the journey from soldier to officer. In the Canberra region, long-term expansion may also include the development of a comprehensive school in the future.
Why should families and supporters trust you?
We aim to build trust through clarity, accurate public information, and careful separation of what is active now versus what may come later. We openly identify our leadership, state our public contact details, explain our support model, and avoid making claims that go beyond what is confirmed. That matters because families, supporters, and search engines all respond better to transparent, specific information than to vague promises.
The Canberra Languages School Initiative FAQ
What does your Canberra initiative offer?
The Canberra initiative we support is Supreme Australia International Multicultural Languages School, an active fee-based program for students from Year 1 to Year 12. It provides after-school and weekend school focused on Punjabi language, Hindi language, Sikh religion, Punjabi culture, Gidha, Bhangra, and homework help connected to Australian curriculum subjects. It is designed for families looking for language learning, cultural connection, and structured support outside regular school hours.
Who can join these Canberra classes?
The Canberra classes are intended for students from Year 1 to Year 12. Families who want their children to learn Punjabi or Hindi, stay connected to Sikh and Punjabi cultural values, or receive extra homework support in a community-based learning environment can enquire directly about enrolment and suitability.
Are Canberra classes free or paid?
The Canberra initiative is 100% fee-based. We make this clear so families understand from the beginning that this program is not part of the free-education model used in Punjab. This is a supported language school initiative in the Canberra region, and its fee-based structure helps visitors quickly identify whether it matches their needs.
When are Canberra classes held?
Classes are currently offered as after-school classes and weekend school classes. This format is designed to fit around regular schooling and family schedules, making it easier for students to attend language, culture, and homework support sessions without interrupting their normal school timetable.
What subjects and activities are taught?
Students can learn Punjabi language, Hindi language, Sikh religion, Punjabi culture, Gidha, and Bhangra, along with homework help related to Australian curriculum subjects. The program is intended to support both language development and cultural connection, while also giving families an option for structured educational support outside mainstream school hours.
Does the Canberra school teach curriculum?
At present, the initiative does not provide formal Australian curriculum teaching. The current model includes homework help based on Australian curriculum subjects, which means students may receive support connected to what they are already studying at school, but the initiative is not currently delivering a formal Australian curriculum program. This distinction is important for accuracy and helps families make informed decisions.
Where are the Canberra classes conducted?
Classes are conducted using hired existing facilities in the Canberra region, including Margaret Hendry School, Queanbeyan High School, Googong Public School, and Googong Community Centre. The program uses available facilities such as classrooms, washrooms, and parking, which helps provide a practical and accessible learning environment without claiming to operate from a permanent owned campus.
Is this school owned by the trust?
No, the trust supports this initiative, but it does not present it as owned or operated by the trust. That difference is intentional and important. It ensures the website remains factual, transparent, and clear about the role of Sarkar-E-Khalsa International Incorporated in relation to Supreme Australia International Multicultural Languages School.
How can families enquire or enrol?
Families can enquire directly by phone at 0470 573 496 or by email at [email protected]. Reaching out directly is the best way to ask about class availability, age suitability, learning focus, timing, and any enrolment details relevant to your child’s needs.
What is the long-term Canberra vision?
The long-term plan is to establish a full school with its own land, building, infrastructure, and teaching staff. As part of future expansion, the addition of Australian curriculum delivery may also be explored. For now, the website presents only what is currently active and confirmed, while also giving families a clear sense of the initiative’s long-term educational ambition.
Punjab School Initiative FAQ
What support does the Punjab school provide?
The Punjab initiative we support is Giani Gurbachan Singh Khalsa Senior Secondary School in Village Bhaloor, District Moga, Punjab, India. Because of the trust’s financial support, tuition fees are free and admission fees are free. This initiative is focused on helping students access school education with reduced financial barriers while maintaining a clear and accurate description of what is currently confirmed.
Who can apply to this school?
Admissions are open from Nursery to Class 12. This makes the school relevant for families seeking a long-term schooling option across early years, primary, middle, and senior secondary levels within the Punjab School Education Board structure.
Which board and streams are offered?
The school follows the Punjab School Education Board curriculum. Students can study in Science, including Medical and Non-Medical streams, and Arts. This gives families a recognised academic pathway and helps older students choose a stream that fits their interests and future goals.
Where is the Punjab school located?
The school is located in Village Bhaloor, District Moga, Punjab, India. This location information is helpful for families searching for a Punjab school in the Moga district and for anyone specifically looking for Giani Gurbachan Singh Khalsa Senior Secondary School admissions or contact details.
What exactly is free at school?
The confirmed free elements are tuition fees and admission fees. We do not make broader claims about other items unless they are specifically confirmed. That matters because families deserve clear and accurate information, especially when comparing education options and planning for the real cost of schooling.
What is the trust’s role there?
Our role is that the school is adopted and financially supported by the trust. We support the institution through funding for running expenses rather than by claiming ownership or focusing on property acquisition. This funding model is designed to help the school continue serving students while keeping our public message truthful and specific.
Who is the school principal?
The principal of Giani Gurbachan Singh Khalsa Senior Secondary School is Balwinder Kaur, who holds MA and B.Ed qualifications. Publishing this information helps families see that the school has named academic leadership and a direct educational point of reference.
How can parents contact the school?
Parents and guardians can contact the school by phone at +91 9356010423 or 01636 247205, or by email at [email protected]. Direct contact is the best way to ask about admissions, class availability, eligibility, academic streams, and school-related questions.
Will more Punjab institutions be supported?
Future plans may include supporting additional schools and other education-focused institutions, but no future institution names or destinations are publicly listed at this stage. We keep that wording general so the website remains accurate, responsible, and aligned with confirmed information rather than making premature public announcements.
