Saint Sava Sunday school is fully registered Community Language School under the NSW Department of Education. It offers courses of Serbian culture (language, music, singing and dancing), and Orthodox Scripture.
The mission of the school is to provide means and support for students of Serbian origin to reconnect with their roots and cultural identity, and to keep the Serbian culture and Orthodox Christian tradition alive through language instruction which incorporates Serbian literature, basic teachings of the Orthodox theology, Serbian history, musician dance and other unique manifestations of the rich Serbian heritage. School is also open to students of non-Serbian origin interested to learn about Serbian language, culture and Orthodox Christianity.
