Sinhala Buddhist School- Crafers Campus
With many new migrants settling in developing suburbs such as Mount Barker and the southern parts of Adelaide, which are located near the Adelaide Sri Lanka Buddhist Vihara Inc. (ASBV), it is proposed to establish a new SBS campus in Crafers, where the ASBV and Adelaide Sri Lanka Cultural Hub (ASLCH) are located. This move would make it easier to meet the growing demand for enrolment and provide more students with access to cultural and linguistic education. Over 27 parents have already expressed interest in enrolling their children at the new campus of SBS. The new campus commences on Sunday, 5 March 2023,
at 2 pm. The 200-seated facility of Adelaide Sri Lanka Cultural Hub is used to host the school
