Perth’s North Tamil School drew a strong crowd at its 30th Annual Day celebrations, bringing families, students and supporters together for an afternoon that highlighted the value of community language education. The event was held on 29 November at Illawarra Crescent South in Ballajura, running from 2 pm to 7 pm, with dinner provided for attendees.
Dr Anne Aly, the Federal Member for Cowan and Minister for Multicultural Affairs, attended the celebration and praised the school’s contribution to local cultural life. “Congratulations to Perth North Tamil School on your 30th Annual Day anniversary,” she said. “It was a wonderful event, and I loved sharing in your rich cultural heritage and watching the vibrant student performances.”
Her message praised the work the school has done across three decades, offering Tamil language learning for young people in the northern suburbs and building a steady network of parents and volunteers around the program. Dr Aly noted the support provided through federal funding, saying she is “proud to support your language school through our Multicultural Grants Program as part of the Labor Government’s commitment to inclusion and diversity.”
The anniversary event featured student performances, formal acknowledgements and time set aside for families to connect over dinner. The school’s organisers also thanked their sponsors for helping bring the celebration together, reflecting the community partnerships that have sustained the school since its early years.
Perth North Tamil School remains one of the anchors of Tamil language learning in Western Australia, offering students the chance to develop confidence in their mother tongue while staying connected with cultural traditions.
