Founder of our School
The parent body, AHMA was established in 1993 with the aim of promoting social, religious, cultural and educational activities for the benefit of the communities with Indian heritage.
AHMA at its inception recognised the importance of education in language, arts and culture. In addition to establishing a Cultural Centre at 1050 Richmond Road, Marsden Park, the organisation also established the Hindi School in Western Sydney. The School has played a pivotal role in achieving the objectives of AHMA. The Hindi school had humble beginnings but today WSHS is well established and stands proud in its achievements and accomplishments.
The Hindi School was inaugurated in July 1994 with about 12 students and only a few teachers. The School commenced to operate from Doonside cottage, and moved to a handful of locations within Western Sydney, before finding its home at the modern premises of Quakers Hill High School in 2008
