It is under the auspices of the St. Anna Gold Coast and Northern Rivers NSW Parish Community. Its initial 2015 academic year instucted 15 local pupils between the ages of five to fifteen, according to Greek-Australian news portal Neos Kosmos. The Byron Bay Greek School recently held a fundraising dinner event, which was attended by 250 supporters.
Father Romanos commended past Greek-Australians who preserved Hellenism in the region and new generations that attributed to its revitalization.
