25.01.2022 Music is in our bones! Punjabis love their music as much as they love their food. I wanted to share this video here. It goes to show how far we have all come. Music is universal. A feel good option any time, any where :) #punjabi https://www.facebook.com/panjabimc/videos/555507758331373/

21.01.2022 Vaisakhi, also known as Baisakhi is a historical and religious festival in Sikhism. It is usually celebrated on 13 or 14 April every year, which commemorates the formation of Khalsa panth of warriors under Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. Wikipedia Today, on the day of Vaisakhi 2020 we are celebrating Vaisakhi in a very non-traditional way due to the sign of the times. Virtually, at home, not congregating at a Gurudwara like we are used to. Let’s pray together today, in our homes,... in our hearts, with family and friends for this difficult time to pass and in the process to give us the courage to accept, respect and appreciate each other. This is a perfect time for us to reflect, refocus, appreciate and offer thanks as this too shall pass. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

16.01.2022 To our heroes. Thank you for working hard on the frontline. Take care of yourselves too and stay safe. To everyone else, let’s do our bit and stay safe #staysafe #ourmaskedheroes

14.01.2022 Updated information for parents about COVID-19 formerly referred to as Novel Coronavirus Dear parents, As you will have seen in the media, the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, and we thought it was important that we bring you up-to-date with NSW Ministry of Health advice.... The NSW Department of Education is working closely with the NSW Ministry of Health in response to the unfolding international COVID-19 (formerly referred to as Novel Coronavirus) situation. Further travel restrictions: Effective of 5 March 2020, the Federal Government has issued updated advice on travel restrictions on foreign nationals (excluding permanent residents of Australia) coming to Australia from the Republic of Korea (South Korea). Current advice from the NSW Government for parents and affected staff is: Any student or staff member who has left, or transited through mainland China since 1 February, Iran since 1 March or the Republic of Korea (South Korea) since 5 March, is excluded from child care services, school or work for 14 days from the date they left mainland China, Iran or the Republic of Korea (South Korea). Any confirmed case of COVID-19 will be excluded until they are medically cleared to return. Close contacts of a confirmed case of COVID-19 will be excluded for 14 days since the last contact with the confirmed case. Students and staff who have returned to Australia and have shown no symptoms during the 14-day self-isolation period are able to return to child care services, school or work. The NSW Ministry of Health has processes to identify any close contacts of cases confirmed in Australia. Advice about not attending school would be provided to these close contacts by the NSW Ministry of Health. Consistent with current guidelines, students who are unwell with respiratory illness should remain at home until symptoms resolve. In accordance with the NSW Department of Education’s current practice, if any student becomes unwell, the school will implement infection control guidelines and follow the advice provided by the NSW Ministry of Health as appropriate. Maintaining good hygiene standards is an important way to reduce the risk of acquiring and spreading respiratory infections. Parents and caregivers are asked to promote good hygiene, including handwashing with soap as handwashing is the single most effective way to reduce the spread of germs that cause respiratory disease. I am aware that some parents will be concerned about the situation given recent media updates and events happening at a local high school. Whilst I thank parents for their concern, Sydney Punjabi School is operating as normal. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. We will continue to be in communication with you as circumstances change and needs arise. Regards, Jaspreet Singh Walia On behalf of the Sydney Punjabi School Committee

05.01.2022 Sikhs of Australia

02.01.2022 Sikhs bathing in either the Gallipoli or Sinai Peninsula. It must have been a very interesting sight for the Australians to see these tall turbaned and bearded ...men unwrap their turbans, undo their topknot and proceed to wash their long hair. The reverse would occur once they had dried their hair in the sun, by putting their hair back into a topknot and retying their turbans. This photograph was taken by J. Somers with the Australian Imperial Force (A.I.F.) in Gallipoli and the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt). This collection is available thanks to the digitization efforts of the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales.

01.01.2022 On Sunday, November 10, we were privileged to be part of the Divine Steps Festival organized by Sikh Youth Australia. A fantastic initiative that brought people in from all communities to commemorate Guru Nanak’s philosophy of universal humankind and oneness

01.01.2022 Did you know: - At least 16 Sikhs enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force and 3 Sikhs enlisted in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in WWI? - 1.2 million In...dians volunteered to fight for the British Indian Army in WWI. This was the largest volunteer army raised in WWI. While Sikhs only make up 2% of India’s population 22% of the British Indian Army were Sikhs? - In World War I and II, 83,005 Sikhs were killed with 109,045 wounded fighting for the allied forces? - Sikhs continue to serve proudly in the Australian Defence Force today?
